Alan Arkin

Recommended Posts

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.

He is 84 and did have a mini-stroke about three-years ago.   Certainly valid to keep an eye for him.

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.

Where did you read that?

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.

Wikipedia just reported him dead, but cited the Jason Alexander post

Jason Alexander reported Gilbert Gottfried's death about two hours before anyone else had it as well, does he just hang around Hollywood emergency rooms?

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.

Unfortunately I dont think its a hoax. Note, that its 4am in California and they probably need some time to do the necessary verifications before going public

I don't think we can say he's dead until he himself says he dead.

Well that's that settled then. If the Wise Council of Wikipedians say he's alive, he's alive.

Some obits are coming out and are immediately withdrawn.

 

EDIT: the link above is a 404 now.

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.

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.
