George Kennedy, the tough-guy character actor whose screen career spanned seven decades and included such films as Cool Hand Luke (which won him up a oscar), The Naked Gun movies and Dallas, has died.
His grandson Cory Schenkel says Kennedy died on Sunday morning of old age in Boise, Idaho. He was 91.
Kennedy was born on 18 February 1925 in New York where his father worked as a musician and his mother was a dancer.
