Devastated to learn about the passing of my friend, Fred Ward.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with this wonderful man in Robert Altmans Shortcuts and Alan Rudolphs Equinox.
A tough facade covering emotions as deep as a the Pacific Ocean.
i loved working with him on Sweet Home Alabama.
He was a wonderful man who brought so much joy to every part he played.
He will be deeply missed.
So sad to hear this news.
