This is such a shame. He is obviously a TERRIBLE alcoholic and I get a sense that there is tremendous pain buried inside of him.

Yowza! He looks pretty bad. The guy's 78 and he's probably feeling scared about entering his 80's with no one in his life (apparently) to care about...and facing his mortality. A family members needs to intervene somehow.

He is married to Amy Wright. But I think his real problems began after his 2nd wife Geraldine Page died in 1987 which devastated him

Probably a lonely old man that drinks himself to death. How sad, thank goodness he didn't hurt anyone.

Mostly all the movie stars and super rich that live around my area in Ct are for the most part decent people. Alot of rock stars and musicians can stop at the local stores and nobody bugs them either. But this guy is an exception

This guy has had so many DUIs. If it was just a regualr person, he/she would probably already be serving time. Maybe he will get a long jail sentence like Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie.
