Very sad, he was one of those people i somehow thought was indestructable.
He turns in a great understated performance in the 1969 film 'The Rain People' (directed by Francis Ford Coppola) with his buddie Robert Duvall.

More than held his own in Godfather I and II and great in others - Rollerball and The Yards spring to mind

Anyone seen Rollerball since the 70s
I loved it when I saw it in the cinema as a kid don't think I've seen it since
Doesn't seem to crop up on TV
Wonder why?
Too violent? Dodgy attitudes?

Maybe because that Legend/Horror channel regularly runs the dreadful 2018 remake.
Also marvellous performance alongside Kathy Bates in the psycho drama Misery.

That Misery performance is spellbinding Two leads at the top of their game I was looking on eBay for a Rollerball DVD and most of the results were the remake - I don't recall hearing about it before. Sounds grim |
