One of my favorites.....loved him in "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", "The Dirty Dozen", "Creep Show II", "Cahill US Marshall", and again with Clint in "The Eiger Sanction"....among many others.

George Kennedy, who won an Academy Award for his bruising performance in "Cool Hand Luke" and later starred in the goofy "Naked Gun" franchise," died Sunday in Idaho. He was 91.
Canyon County Chief Deputy Coroner Steve Rhodes said Kennedy died Sunday at about 4:30 a.m. (6:30 a.m. ET) in a care facility in Middleton. His remains are being given to Cremation Society of Idaho for services.
Cory Schenkel, Kennedy's grandson, told the Associated Press that he died of old age.
