Mourning in Hollywood after the death of James Caan: the star of films such as “The Godfather” and “Misery” has died at the age of 82.

“It is with great sadness” that she announces the death of “Jimmy,” his family wrote on the actor’s Twitter account. Accordingly, he died on Wednesday evening. Caan’s spokesman confirmed the death of the actor to the German Press Agency. The cause of death was not initially disclosed.

Numerous filmmakers expressed their grief and paid tribute to the deceased. Flowers were placed on Caan’s star plaque on the “Walk of Fame” on Thursday. The actor unveiled his plaque of honor on the famous sidewalk in the heart of Hollywood in 1978.

“The Godfather” director Francis Ford Coppola paid tribute to Caan as an old friend and long-time companion. “His films and the many great roles he played will never be forgotten,” Coppola wrote in a statement to Deadline.com. Caan was one of the funniest people he’s ever known. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro also mourned the loss of their colleagues from the mafia drama.

Caans Career

The role of mobster Santino “Sonny” Corleone in “The Godfather” made Caan famous in the 1970s. She earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1973. He continued his career with films such as “Rollerball”, “Funny Girl”, “Another Man, Another Woman” and “The Loner”.

The character actor made it big again in the early 1990s with the horror thriller “Misery.” Director Reiner took a Stephen King template, in which a best-selling author (Caan) falls into the hands of a mad admirer (Kathy Bates). The news of his death broke her heart, Bates wrote on Twitter on Thursday. She was shocked and speechless. “Thank you Jimmy. Love you your ‘Kat’,” the actress added.

Caan grew up in a Jewish family in the Bronx, New York. The father of five was married four times, his last marriage was divorced in 2009.

The last film Caan shot was “Fast Charlie” this year, the industry journal “Variety” reported. In the trill, directed by Phillip Noyce, he played an aging mob boss alongside Bond star Pierce Brosnan. The cinema release is planned for 2023. (dpa)
