Bill Paxton, Hollywood actor, passes away

Bill Paxton, Hollywood actor, passes away Bill Paxton, a prolific and charismatic (करिश्माई) actor who had memorable (अविस्मरणीय)roles in such blockbusters(फिल्मों) as “Apollo 13” and “Titanic” while also cherishing his work in “One False Move” and other low—budget movies and in the HBO series “Big Love,” has died from complications(जटिलताओं)  due to surgery. He was 61. A family representative issued a statement Sunday on the death but provided no further details. Paxton, a Fort Worth, Texas, native, appeared in dozens of movies and television shows and seemed to be around when history was made both on and off screen. As a boy, he was in the crowd that welcomed President John F. Kennedy in Texas on the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, hours before Kennedy was killed in Dallas. As a young man, he worked in the art department for “B” movie king Roger Corman, who helped launch the careers of numerous actors and filmmakers.


Paxton’s movie credits included some of the signature works of the past 40 years, from “Titanic” and “Apollo 13” to “The Terminator and “Aliens.” Television fans knew him for his role as a polygamist, with three wives who expected the best from him, in the HBO series “Big Love,” for which he received three Golden Globe nominations.


“Bill Paxton was a big—hearted, thoughtful and honorable person,” his “Big Love” co—star Chloe Sevigny said in a statement. “He always had a smile on his face and could entertain any room with his wonderful stories of his many amazing years in Hollywood.”


Paxton was currently starring in the CBS drama “Training Day,” which premiered Feb. 2. The network has not yet announced whether it will continue to air the completed episodes.


Paxton is survived by his wife of 30 years, Louise Newbury, and their two children. His first marriage, to Kelly Rowan, ended in divorce.
