That’s pretty much it for all of the stars of Young Frankenstein, Teri Garr passed a few months ago, so Gene was the last one.
It’s hard to say anything was the best, but I can’t think of anyone better. He made every movie he was in memorable. He may be the best ever but Nicholson right there too.
I know now what you spake.
The dead dog was in a closet.
The other two were running around free inside and outside as at least one door was open..............
The Oscars are this Sunday. I’d imagine the whole show will be scrapped and re-done as a tribute to him.................
Little bill and the “Duck of Death.”
The Quick and the dead is what I remember him from the best, because it’s the most recent I guess. Oh and Enemy of the state.
There are alarm companies that will call you every single day to see if you’re okay. The cost is reasonable, maybe $40 a month.
Every older or handicapped person (or couple) should seriously consider getting such a service.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I think it was his role in The Firm.
No Way Out is one of my favorites when he played the Secretary of Defense during the Cold War.

Apparently there were a couple more running around the premises....outside. The one inside was in some kind of cage.
I agree.
Don’t forget about “The French Connection”.
He also did a killer job in “Unforgiven”.
Building (another) house? That suggests that he was still mentally sharp and engaged.
The open door raises a question. In the picture I’ve seen, the house is large. If it is on a fenced and gated property, or in a gated community with security, people can get careless about locking doors, but leaving one open is odd. If the grounds were fenced, perhaps they let the dogs run free. Or perhaps they were getting ready to go out for a walk.
I wonder whether there were housekeepers, a cook or an assistant (of many possible varieties) who should have been coming regularly.
No signs of traumatic injury, no signs of forcible entry, no signs (at first glance) of robbery. Definitely time for Inspector Clouseau to show up.
Very sad story.
Hoping it wasn’t foul play of some sort, but it’s looking more likely.
Hope I’m wrong.
No way! Buck Barra
I saw a lot of the movies you listed, I hadn’t realized that I had seen so many of his films. He was great in all of them. What a sad end for him and his wife.
I hope they get to the bottom of what happened.
Wide open? Open just a crack? Closed but unlocked?
