Donald Sutherland, who died on June 20, 2024, at the age of 88, was of Hollywood’s unlikeliest leading men, and one of its most enduring actors. In the seventies he made his name playing Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman’s MAS*H and the title character in Klute, and he also starred in Nicolas Roeg’s cult favorite, Don’t Look Now and the brilliant remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Since then he has delivered memorable performances in an impressively varied collection of movies, including Ordinary People, Eye of the Needle, Six Degrees of Separation, Pride and Prejudice, and The Hunger Games movies.
Along the way Sutherland also gained a second sort fame as a father, when his son Kiefer built his own notable acting career, starring in films such as Stand by Me and The Lost Boys, and in the hit television series 24.
