Oscar-winning actor for Little Miss Sunshine best known for his comic roles dating back to the 60s. Ironically, two of his best performances came in dramas from that period, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (for which he got an Oscar nomination) and the creepy, sadistic villain in Wait Until Dark (one of my favorite Arkin roles).
Age 89

Re: RIP Alan Arkin
My favorite Arkin movie was The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming -- I was pretty young, and I didn't discriminate much back then. It wouldn't make my top ten now.
