Actor Ryan O'Neal Dead at 82

POS best friend, too. Lee Majors made the mistake of asking his best friend Ryan O'Neil to watch over his wife, Farrah, while he was away. We know how that turned out.

Love “What’s up Doc?” He was so good in it. He and Streisand worked so well together.

“The Driver” doesn’t get enough mention. He’s great in that. Also loved him in “Barry Lyndon,” “Love Story,” and “What’s Up, Doc?”.

Agree. “No friends. No steady job. No girlfriend. You live real cheap, you never ask any questions... boy, you got it down real tight. So tight that there's no room for anything else. And that's a real sad song. Only trouble is, eh, sad songs ain't sellin' this year. Maybe I'm your friend.”

One of the first films I ever saw in the cinema without an adult accompanying me was "So Fine" (I think it was called that) with Ryan O'Neal playing a fashion designer who accidentally invents jeans with clear plastic back pockets - they show your arse - and becomes a fashion sensation. I just looked it up and Ryan got nominated for "Worst actor of the decade" for his performance in it. My friend and I loved it. But I think we were 11 or something like that so....

Superb actor, garbage human being and father.

Smacked his little kid daughter in the face when she won an Oscar, and made moves on her at Farrah’s funeral.

Loved him in Chances Are. But, wasn't he a really bad father IRL?

Apparently. Tatum said some unfavorable things about him.

I had neglected that movie until about six months ago. What a beautiful film it is.

The candlelight was nice but my butt fell asleep watching hours of people playing cards in the dark.

As a art piece to see it is magnificent. As movie to watch and enjoy the story there's no there there.

People are ridiculous about death. Celebrities are just humans who die like everyone else. Ryan was old and sick.

It's almost as if they are mortal humans "just like us." I wonder how many dentists died worldwide this year?

I knew he hadn't been well for a while, and was kind of waiting for this announcement in the back of my head. From all accounts he wasn't someone I would have wanted to know personally, but I do admire his work.
