DeathClock 379 Posted May 24, 2018 I think it's time for an Alan Arkin thread. There's no info on his health, but he is getting up there in age. An absolute legend in America. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Szabaka 94 Posted May 24, 2018 He is 84 and did have a mini-stroke about three-years ago. Certainly valid to keep an eye for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoldlady 2,342 Posted May 27, 2018 Read somewhere that Alan Arkin stopped Morgan Freeman, the latest honorable mention within #MeToo movement, from acting inappropriate towards an actress a while back. Glad Alan seems to be one good guy in Hollywierd. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/movies/morgan-freeman-sexual-harassment.html https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/morgan-freeman-accused-sexual-harassment-1114591 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,191 Posted June 30, 2023 So Biblio says he's dead on the Scavvy thread. Nothing news wise so far though I have seen the tweet by Jason Alexander. So we wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he's a member of the forums and likes to be the first one on the scene like so many here when big name celebrities die. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 12,133 Posted June 30, 2023 Some obits are coming out and are immediately withdrawn. EDIT: the link above is a 404 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,628 Posted June 30, 2023 The main two obits I've seen so far are from a Greek website I'd never heard of before and that ComicBook one linked upthread. Neither have a comment from a representative and both were clearly just writing based off of the Wikipedia update. I'm pretty sure he's dead but looks like we're going to have to wait until his agent turns his phone on for any real proof. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,193 Posted June 30, 2023 Entirely unexpected. Of the three leads in Going in Style, I was expecting Caine to go first and Arkin to be the last man standing. In Going in Style (filmed in 2016), the three leads give estimations on how long they have left. Caine’s character- another 7 years (2023!) Freeman’s character- another 10 years (2026) Arkin’s character- claims he has bad luck so will probably live to 100 (2034) It turns out Arkin got lucky! Caine’s next for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
