Donald Sutherland Dead: 'Hunger Games' & 'MASH' Actor Passes Away at 88
Donald Sutherland has sadly passed away at the age of 88.
He passed away after an illness on Thursday (June 20) in Miami, Fla.
His career spanned decades and included so many fan favorite TV shows and movies. Perhaps one of his more famous roles later in his career was that of President Coriolanus Snow in the four original Hunger Games films. He was also known for works including The Dirty Dozen, MASH, Klute, Animal House, Ordinary People, Pride & Prejudice and more. He previously won an Emmy Award for his work in Citizen X.
Not much is known about his cause of death at this time, but Deadline is saying he battled a “long illness.”
He had five children, including actor Kiefer Sutherland. He is survived by his wife Francine Racette.
Kiefer said in a statement, “With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.”
Our thoughts are with Donald‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this time. RIP.
