Ben Gazzara, Dead at 81

Published by Toronto Mike on February 3, 2012 @ 20:25 in Celebrity Deaths

In Memorium Ben Gazzara was 81. He was an intense actor best known for starring in the John Cassavetes films "Husbands", "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" and "Opening Night". I remember him best as Jackie Treehorn, the pornography mogul and loan shark in the Coen brother's cult classic, The Big Lewbowski.

Both Abe Vigoda and Sue Johanson remain alive.... for now.

His show in the 60's Run for Your Life was pretty cool. Kind of like The Fugitive. Just a terminal illness instead of an over zealous cop making him run.
