Actor Treat Williams killed in motorcycle auto accident

He was 71

I first saw him in the movie 1941

RIP
Good actor I thought he and Duvall did a good job in "The Pursuit of DB Cooper",nowhere near historically accurate but entertaining. Also worked with Duvall and Michael Caine in "The Eagle has Landed" RIP Treat

RIP
He was actually legit, unlike most of the 70s-80s foreign gimmicks:  he was actually Iranian and actually a real wrestler.

Alan Arkin died.
I liked him in everything I've seen him in.

He was a scream in The Russians are Coming

Genuinely funny dude.   Loved his five second deadpan bit part as a waiter in Blues Brothers .   

Certainly got derailed by his porn theater escapades.

https://www.npr.org/2023/08/09/1192999637/robbie-robertson-guitarist-for-the-band-and-bob-dylan-has-died-at-80

Robbie Robertson, the lead guitarist and the primary songwriter for Canadian rock luminaries The Band, has died at age 80.
Family member Dawn Robertson confirmed the news to NPR.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's songwriting credits include several touchstone songs that would go on to establish the blueprint of Americana music, including "The Weight," "Up On Cripple Creek" and the controversial "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," a song narrated from the perspective of Confederate soldiers.
