More sad news to pass along from Old Hollywood: veteran character actor G.D. Spradlin died in his San Luis Obispo cattle ranch on Sunday from natural causes. He was 90. Spradlin — who was such a successful independent oil producer in Oklahoma during the 1950s that he retired in 1960 — began acting in the late ’60s with roles on television series like Gomer Pyle, I Spy and Dragnet, and broke out following his appearance as slimy senator Pat Geary in The Godfather Part II. Ahead, remember Spradlin by watching his best Godfather moment.
After The Godfather Part II, Spradlin appeared in Apocalypse Now, North Dallas Forty, The War of the Roses, Ed Wood, The Long Kiss Goodnight and Dick, his final screen performance in 1999. He is survived by his second wife Florence, his two daughters and five grandchildren.
