Michael Sarrazin, best known for starring opposite Jane Fonda in 1969's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?," has died in Montreal after a brief battle with cancer. He was 70.
Sarrazin died Sunday surrounded by family.
In Sydney Pollack's Depression era-set "Horses," which was nominated for nine Oscars and won a single statuette for Gig Young's supporting role, Fonda played a suicidal woman who heads to Hollywood and meets up with Sarrazin's character, an aspiring director. The two enter a grueling dance marathon, during which she tries to convince him to shoot her and put her out of her misery.

Michael Sarrazin: May 22, 1940 - April 17, 2011
He was in a great movie with George C. Scott called THE FLIM FLAM MAN.
GUM BALL.
b
Saw him is a few good B movies
Sometimes a Great Notion
Great flick!
That movie really creeped me out.
For Pete’s Sake ... an extremely funny comedy, even with Barbra Streisand.
Exceptional, with Paul Newman and written by my University of Oregon schoolmate, Ken Kesey.
He certainly set my teenage heart a flutter.
My heart throb as a teenager - back in the day. Rest in peace Michael.
He was indeed. The Flim Flam Man was a great movie-I remember laughing to the point of tears during a couple of scenes.
They Shoot Horses Don’t They was one of the most profound movies I have ever seen.
I saw it as a teenager, and it really stayed with me.
One of the GREAT comedies. Great cast, too. Scott, Sarrazin, Sue Lyons, Slim Pickens, Albert Salmi, Harry Morgan...
Looked a little like JFK.
...one of the most profound movies I have ever seen
&&
One of the few movies I have seen. My adjective would be “disturbing”. I am sure a lot of leftists love it.
He did well in the role of a pick-pocket in “Harry in Your Pocket”
