Actor
Dean Stockwell
, who was an Oscar nominee for 'Married to Everyone' (1988) and who appeared in
David Lynch's
'Blue Velvet' (1986)
, has died at age 85, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter magazines reported Tuesday .
His representative pointed out that Stockwell (Los Angeles, USA, 1936) died last Sunday at his home and of
natural causes
.
Stockwell received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor for the comedy "Married to All," directed by
Jonathan Demme
("The Silence of the Lambs," 1991) and in which he shared credits with
Michelle Pfeiffer
and
Matthew Modine
.
With a long and varied career spanning seven decades, Stockwell collaborated with David Lynch on the films 'Dune' (1984) and 'Blue Velvet' (1986).
However, the actor worked for other geniuses of the big screen such as
Francis Ford Coppola
('Tucker: A man and his dream', 1988),
Wim Wenders
('Paris, Texas', 1984),
Robert Altman
(' The game of Hollywood '1992) or
Sidney Lumet
(' Long journey into the night ', 1962).
For this Lumet film, he shared the award for best actor at the Cannes Film Festival with his co-stars
Ralph Richardson
and
Jason Robards
.
It was not the only time that he triumphed collectively in the French competition, since with
Richard Fleischer's
'Compulsion' (1959) he
also won the best actor award.
On that occasion, Stockwell received the award alongside his fellow 'Compulsion'
Orson Welles and Bradford Dillman
.
Stockwell began his career in the theater as a child and also had a long and successful career on television, where he stood out with series such as 'Through time' (1989-1993) or 'Galactica, combat star' (2004-2009) .
Stockwell was a great friend of musician
Neil Young
and proof of this is that the actor designed the cover of his album 'American Stars' N Bars' (1977).
