Martin Landau, a talented and prolific character actor who achieved TV stardom in Mission: Impossible and won an Oscar for his portrayal of a washed-up Bela Lugosi in the sweetly bizarre 1994 film Ed Wood, has died at age 89.

Landau died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday from unexpected complications during a short hospitalisation for an undisclosed illness, publicist Dick Guttman said in a statement on Sunday.
