RIP: George Kennedy

[erik]

Hollywood has been hit by another loss in its acting ranks, and this time around it is George Kennedy, who won a 1967 Best Supporting Actor for portraying the chain-gang leader Dragline in the epochal COOL HAND LUKE, and also appeared in the Airport films and EARTHQUAKE in the 1970s, and the 1967 Robert Aldrich WW II classic THE DIRTY DOZEN. He passed away yesterday in Boise, Idaho at the age of 91. More here:
