Frederic Forrest, known for his Oscar-nominated role as Sgt. Huston Dyer in 'The Rose', has passed away at the age of 86.
It was Midler who announced the tragic news, tweeting: “The great and beloved Frederic Forrest has passed away. Thanks to all his fans and friends for all their support these past months. He was an outstanding actor and a great human being, and I was lucky to have him in my life. He is at peace.”
According to 'The Hollywood Reporter', Forrest died at his home in Santa Monica after a long illness. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
His friends set up a GoFund Me page in September to help continue paying for his care expenses as he battles the still-unknown illness. The fundraising post said the contributions helped "to care for Fredric at home for the last six months by paying caregivers to be with him 8 hours a day, 7 days a week."
Some of his other film roles include 'When the Legends Die', 'Apocalypse Now', 'The Conversation', 'One From the Heart', 'Tucker: The Man and His Dream', 'The Missouri Breaks', 'It Lives Again', 'The Two Jakes and Point Blank', and others.
