RIP William Friedkin

*triplexxx* · 08-07-2023, 08:21 PM

Legendary director/producer/writer William Friedkin has passed to heaven at age 87. His works included The French Connection, The Exorcist, To Live and Die in L.A., Rules Of Engagement, The Hunted, Killer Joe, Jailbreakers, 12 Angry Men, and many more. He won many awards, Oscars, Golden Globes, Saturns, Empires, Palm Beach Internation Film Festival (Lifetime Achievement), Venice Film Festival, and many others. He was known for being volatile and gritty in his film-making style, especially in car chase scenes in his flicks, particularly the one in The French Connection, which was done without permits and resulted in a lot of damage and serious injuries. Still his films were always exciting and attention-drawing, loved and admired by many generations past and present, and will be loved and admired by many generations to come. Rest well, William Friedkin.
