Rest in Peace: Robert Loggia
Robert Loggia was an Oscar and Emmy nominee whose roles include memorable turns in such diverse films as Scarface, Prizzi’s Honor, and Big; but he also dabbled more than a few times in the horror genre. It’s with a heavy heart we report that Loggia, age 85, passed away on December 4th after a five-year battle with Alzheimer’s.
Some of the genre projects Loggia, a native of Staten Island, appeared in are Innocent Blood, Psycho II, “The Outer Limits” (1995–2002), “Tales of the Unexpected,” and, released just this year, Bleeding Hearts.
“He loved being an actor,” his widow, Audrey Loggia, told Variety. “He used to say that he never had to work.”
If only we could all be so fortunate. Thanks for the great memories, Mr. Loggia. RIP.
