‘Young and the Restless’ actor Kristoff St. John dies at 52
Alec Baldwin jokes about parking spot fight: ‘I punched a nun’
Alec Baldwin may have recently pleaded guilty to harassing a man during a much-publicized parking spot dispute, but the actor is dealing with the incident with humor.
During his appearance on Monday’s “Ellen” show, Ellen Degeneres prompted Baldwin to talk about the alleged fight, in which a man accused Baldwin of punching him after he parked in a spot that Baldwin said a family member was holding for him.
“I know that there was an incident in New York ... ” Degeneres began.
“I punched a nun,” Baldwin said, joking. “I pulled her out of her car.
“What had happened was, I had this argument with this guy. But what’s interesting is that in New York – maybe it’s the same here (in Hollywood, where “Ellen” tapes) – there are cameras everywhere,” he said. “So they said I punched this guy, and that’s not true; the cameras show from every angle that nobody punched anybody.”
“Young and the Restless” actor Kristoff St. John has died at 52. Los Angeles police were called to his home Sunday, and his body was turned over to the Los Angeles County coroner. The cause of death was not released.
St. John had played Neil Winters on the CBS soap opera since 1991, earning nine daytime Emmy nominations.
St. John was twice married and divorced and was the father of a son and two daughters. His 24-year-old son, Julian, died in 2014.
