California’s recent storms, which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has said are among the worst natural disasters the state has ever faced, have made rescue efforts especially difficult.
The 65-year-old actor is best known for his roles in films such as A Room with a View, Warlock and Leaving Las Vegas.
Mount Baldy is located northeast of Los Angeles. San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies said two hikers were injured and later died in falls on or near the 10,068-foot peak in the past six weeks. There have been 14 rescues in the area in that time period alone, according to a public service advisory.
