It’s getting weirder by the hour the bodies were mummified WTF

They were in different rooms and they Mummified because they've been dead for a long time

Like I said weird

Do you think that means that they were wrapped in sheets?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Was awesome in Crimson Tide. He played the brilliant acting sleight of hand by making an unlikeable character, quite likeable by the end. Overall, I really liked the non-arrogant self-confidence of his character. Which Hackman played superbly it should be said.

RIP. Hope it wasn’t a horrible end.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

This came as a big shock. Absolutely fantastic actor, one of the very best! Very sad when such a talent passes away. I was surprised by his age too,95. RIP.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I hope it wasnt a horrible end for him as well. Unfortunately as a 95 year old he will have been very dependant on help that it looks like wouldnt have been available after his mrs took a tumble and died. The dog would die without care as well obviously. Sounds like they were all in a house that was unattended for a long time. A heater was on in a locked and closed up space by the news which explains the mummification and drying out of bodies. Sounds very sad all round

He was a pretty active guy for his age. Did a lot of cycling.

 

[levets]

yeah will be in the famous person thread but think he deserves his own

Popeye Doyle
Lex Luthor
Reverand scott
Harry Caul
Sherriff Daggat

and many more classic roles he palyed

french conection , superman, the hunting party, missisippi burning, posiden, no way put, unforgiven, enemy of the state.... the list goes on

Behind Enemy Lines… another good one

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

If anyone hasn't yet mentioned "No Way Out", he was very good in that one too.

Sounds like you have a good heart and thats nice. A 95 year old man does not do a lot of cycling though. Not that any of that matters

It'll be a bit concerning if they took the Dog out with them.

That was a class film.
loads of twists.

 

[levets]

Fantastic performance in this film

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

It's never brought up as a great film twist very often either. I am rather dim, so I never saw it coming. It's one of Costner's best films as an actor -- certainly better, IMO, than some for which he was highly-praised. But Hackman and Will Patton were great too. And Iman is it in, so . . .

He'd surely have confused Trump.

But not the other two. Real mystery this case. It appears both had fallen but in separate rooms.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Great actor, RIP
Hope it wasn’t some weird suicide pact where they killed the dog and then themselves….

Perhaps it was the dog that did it, and then killed itself.

Genuinely sad to hear the news. Absolutely brilliant actor. Played some of the most memorable characters in film and it was him who made them so memorable.
