We posted at the same time, it seems.
This is very sad news. A remarkable man and a remarkable talent.

73 is too young to die!
...and what a talent, as both a director and actor.
I will miss him.
I kept thinking he was going to win an Oscar for an acting performance in the future. He was so damn GOOD.

Thanks for posting the clip best12bars. Though my favorite line was "Does Jeff know?"
Rest in Peace.

Superb filmmaker and actor. He seemed so comfortable and natural in both milieus.
He was married to the same woman for 50 years, too. Big loss.
