Actor James Whitmore (Brooks Hatlen from Shawshank) Dies age aged 87
-
07-02-2009 04:06AM#1James Whitmore, whose rugged, weather-beaten looks earned him a reputation as one of Hollywood's most distinguished actors, has died from cancer at age 87. Whitmore was a familiar face who generally appeared in supporting roles, but his filmed stage production of the Harry Truman biography Give 'Em Hell, Harry! earned him a Best Actor Oscar for the 1975 release. (Whitmore remains the only actor to receive a nomination for a film in which he was the only cast member). Whitmore was as diversified as he was talented, as evidenced by a sample of the films in which he appeared: Battleground, The Asphalt Jungle, Tora! Tora! Tora!, The Red Badge of Courage, Kiss Me, Kate, Oklahoma!, Planet of the Apes, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, and The Shawshank Redemption. He occasionally landed the starring roles in films such as The Next Voice You Hear (in which God addresses the people of earth via their radios!
Sad to read this loved him in Shawshank
