Donald Sutherland, the professorial film star whose presence was ubiquitous in the 1970s with the comedies “MASH” and “Kelly’s Heroes” and dramas “Don’t Look Now' and 'Ordinary People,' has died.
Donald Sutherland, the prolific Canadian actor who roared to fame in the irreverent antiwar classic 'MASH' and captivated audiences with his dramatic performances in films such as 'Ordinary People' and 'Don't Look Now,' has died. A mainstay of Hollywood for more than six decades, Sutherland died Thursday in Miami after a long illness, his agency confirmed in a statement. He was 88.
Sutherland credited legendary producer Ingo Preminger and director Robert Aldrich, who oversaw the 1967 World War II flick, for landing his later role in the film “MASH.” 'I was a glorified extra' in 'The Dirty Dozen,' Sutherland said. 'They hired legitimate actors to play the bottom six of the dozen.' But he quickly rose to fame in 1970 as the cocky surgeon Capt. Hawkeye Pierce in “MASH” and then as the neurotic platoon commander Oddball in “Kelly’s Heroes.
