Ben Gazzara, whose powerful dramatic performances brought an intensity to a variety of roles and made him a memorable presence in such iconic productions over the decades as the original “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway and the film “The Big Lebowski,” has died at age 81.
Longtime family friend Suzanne Mados said Gazzara died yesterday in Manhattan.
Oh dear, May his soul rest in peace.
