Cliff Robertson passes away at age 88
Cliff Robertson won an Academy Award in 1968 for his lead performance in Charly, and portrayed John F. Kennedy in a memorable performance in the TV movie PT 109. Here's what his daughter, Stephanie Saunders, said in a statement about her father's passing.
"My father was a loving father, devoted friend, dedicated professional and honorable man. He stood by his family, friends, and colleagues through good times and bad. He made a difference in all our lives and made our world a better place. We will all miss him terribly."
The actor's funeral is set for Friday, September 16 in East Hampton, New York.

damnit, RIP Mr. Robertson and thanks for giving us the best portrayal of Uncle Ben; and I thought Laura Ziskin passing away and the reboot happening was bad enough
my childhood of the Spider-Man movies is dying right in front of me as we speak :(

Do not grieve at the passing of mortality, for life's but a thing of terrible gravity. And the planets gravitate around you, and the stars shall dance about you, and the angels in heaven adore you, and the saints all stand and applaud you. So faraway, so faraway and yet so close.
Nick Cave, "Far Away, So Close"
