On a lighter note… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!

Sad news - he was truly an original. Go in peace.
He did a lot of good work. Sad to see him go.
But on a lighter note — thanks for the two links! I have bookmarked them — LOL
The year he did the one-armed push-ups was a highlight of the Academy Awards. Do you think they’ll play that clip during the In Memorium segment next year?
Miriam,
I would LOVE to see that… Truly I would.

Amazing body of work, I especially remember him in SHANE, he didn’t really have a lot of lines or time on screen, but he left a bigger impression than almost anyone else.
And the pushups rocked, too!
Heartsick. Don’t care how old he was and whether the causes were natural. Still makes me heart heart.
