went to acting school with Dustin H and Gene H, seemingly

[Arthur Crabtree]

Five Oscars between them is a strong class.

Hoffman quite a bit younger than the other two.

Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird. A good age.

Most remembered I would imagine for being Tom Hagen in the Godfather films. I still remember him cropping up on Scottish Football coverage on the BBC one match, apparently a big soccer fan. Was a bit surreal to see him debating the merits of Rangers offside trap with Ally McCoist.

I think it would be fair to say that the Godfather remains arguably the most widely appreciated film of all time, or certainly in the top 3..... so he leaves behind a strong legacy.

A shot at Glory. Not a film I know, but explains the scottish football/Ally McCoist connection. I may have to try and watch it

Seemingly McCoist received a christmas card from Duvall every year after they worked together

Jesse Jackson, 84

Brill Building songwriter and vocalist Neil Sedaka, 86. Co-wrote the standard Solitaire which was a hit for the Carpenters and Andy Williams. Many more.

[GarlicJam]

Sedaka wrote an amazing list of songs and hits.

Some of them he recorded himself. My favourite is Wheeling West Virginia. I listened to it this afternoon when I heard of his death. Good song.
