‘Little Miss Sunshine’ and ‘Argo’ star Alan Arkin dies



Alan Arkin is dead

The face was also known because the actor was discreet in public life. A discretion that reflected a remarkable humility, a quality of one who has a great talent, operating for more than 60 years on the big and small screen. It is therefore with great sadness that the world learned today the passing of American actor Alan Arkin, aged 89, died at his home in Carlsbad, California. His three sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony said in a statement:

Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, as an artist and as a man. A loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed.

One immediate recognition, and another late one

Born in Brooklyn on March 26, 1934, Alan Arkin made his film debut in 1957 in Calypso heat wave. He stood out in 1966 with a first role in The Russians are coming. For that, he gets the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical. The 1960s were successful for him, and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1968 for his performance in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. From there the roles follow one another and he becomes a figure of American cinema. We see this particularly in Only in the night by Terence Young fight 22 by Mike Nichols, runs under the direction of John Cassavetes, Sydney Pollack, James Fowley…

If the 80s and 90s happened to him in midtones, he regained all the light in the 2000s with Little Miss Sunshinethat is worth Oscar for best supporting actor in 2006. The 2010s were busy years for Alan Arkin, who distinguished himself again at the Oscars in 2012, with an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, for his performance in Argon by Ben Affleck.
