R.I.P. Charles Durning

One of  Hollywood most prolific and acclaimed character actors,  Charles Durning has died at the age of 89.
Many might know Durning from his turns in films like Tootsie, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Sting.  Some of his prominent roles ranges from a wartime Nazi colonel to the Pope, but his most celebrated film part was as a comically corrupt state governor in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)
The actor  is also well known as a World War II veteran who took part in the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach, not to mention the Battle of the Bulge and also being one of very few survivors of the Malmedy massacre.
May his soul Rest in peace, Amen.
