Alan Arkin dies at the age of 89, reason is still unknown

Alan Arkin, a veteran cinema and stage actor, died at 89. He has won an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Tony Award. The reason for death has not yet been revealed.

Alan Arkin’s sons Adam, Matthew, and Antony issued a joint statement to People on behalf of the family. “Our father was a one-of-a-kind force of nature, both as an artist and a man.” 

“A loving husband, father, grandfather, and also a great grandfather, he was adored and will be greatly missed,” People Magazine described the statement as saying.

Alan Arkin was most recently seen in the Netflix dramedy series The Kominsky Method as a recurring co-lead alongside Michael Douglas, 78. 

Throughout the series run from 2019 to 2022, he received nominations for Best Supporting Actor at Emmys, Screen Actor Guild Awards, and Golden Globe Awards. In The Kominsky Method, Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin portrayed long-time friends.

Alan’s character Norman Newlander dies in the final season of the popular show, ending his character arc in the tale. Alan stated that he left the programme because he wanted to avoid the stress that comes with being in show business.

“I’m like a horse going down the trail,” he told The Guardian. Acting is so engrained in my countenance and the conduits of my brain that I find myself missing portions of the business. 

But I don’t require it any longer. I should probably get over it. The less work I have, the better my health. The market is tense, and my system reacts quickly. I can’t handle tension any longer.”
