Larry Sherman, a ubiquitous presence in New York-based films and TV shows like North by Northwest, Midnight Cowboy and Law & Order and the very first publicist Donald Trump ever hired, has died. He was 94.
Sherman died Saturday of natural causes in New York, his son, entertainment publicist Charles Sherman, told The Hollywood Reporter.
In North by Northwest (1959), Sherman drives the cab that rushes Cary Grant away from the United Nations, and in Midnight Cowboy (1969), he was the homeless person who screams outside Tiffany's and then drops dead in front of Jon Voight's character, Joe Buck.

The adage "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" is undoubtedly true. But although second impressions may not eradicate a lousy first one, they can go a long way in the art of damage control. "As long as you don't go too far in your first screwup, there's always a way to rectify it," says Los Angeles entertainment publicist Charles Sherman of Charles Sherman Public Relations. TV actor Brynn Thayer agrees. "I've walked out of auditions feeling I've not nailed it," she recalls. "I begged my agent to get me back in to give it another try, and most of the time I got in again.
