Editing Hal March (section)

==Death==
March's career took a turn for the better in July 1969 when he began hosting the game show ''[[It's Your Bet]]''. After completing approximately 13 weeks of taping, however, he complained of exhaustion. Tests revealed that he had [[lung cancer]], the result of years of [[chain smoking]]. He had one lung removed. When he subsequently contracted pneumonia, he was too weak to fight it. March died in January 1970 in Los Angeles at age 49, and is buried in [[Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery]].<ref name=NYT>{{cite news| date=January 19, 1970| title=Hal March, Actor, TV Quizmaster, 49| newspaper=[[The New York Times]]| page=40 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1970/01/20/archives/hal-march-actor-tv-quizmaster-49-star-of-64000-question-and-of.html |access-date=October 29, 2022 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>
