RIP Albert S. Ruddy

Oscar-winning producer of The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby, as well as the Burt Reynolds original version of The Longest Yard (for which he turned down the opportunity to produce Godfather Part II. And near and dear to my heart, he was the creator of the TV series Walker, Texas Ranger, featuring Chuck Norris. The story of the making of The Godfather was turned into a Paramount+ limited series, The Offer, with Miles Teller as Ruddy.

Age 94

Would not have expected that.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
