Having passed away at the age of 89, the American film legend, successful actor-director, and early activist for the Democratic Party and environmentalism, is now being honored by everyone. Including Donald Trump. This is quite an achievement in an America that is more divided than ever.<\/h4>\n

Along with Paul Newman, who passed away before him, they were among Hollywood’s male icons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He will be missed not only by his fans, whether they were admirers of his charismatic acting<\/b> or his exceptional beauty, both virile and romantic, but also by the Democratic and environmentalist causes<\/b>\u2014of which he was a fierce defender long before it became a must\u2014by independent cinema<\/b>, for which he created a festival, and finally by… horses, to whose ears he would whisper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
