Multi-Award-Winning Hollywood and Broadway actor Alan Arkin has passed to heaven at 89.

Alan won Oscar and SAG for Little Miss Sunshine, SAG for Argo, Golden Globe for The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming, Tony for Enter Laughing, among many other. Was known for singing in a trio called the Tarriers, they sung their own version of The Banana Boat song.

Alan's been in many movies and shows over three quarters of a century including Catch-22, Glengarry Glen Ross, Rocketeer, Simon, Big Trouble, Edward Scissorhands, So I Married An Axe Murderer, Jakob The Liar, Grosse Point Blank, St. Elsewhere, Chicgo Hope, Will & Grace, Grudge Match, Indian Summer, Firewall, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, and many others.

He always had a big on-screen personality, especially in comedic roles; he was also an author of several books including two memoirs, An Improvised Life and Out Of My Mind. Rest well, Alan Arkin, and God Bless You.
