John Heard (Home Alone), RIP

RIP. I thought he was great in After Hours, a hugely underrated movie, Cutter's Way and Between the Lines, a great little movie about an independent newspaper in Boston's Back Bay area.

 

Another sad loss under what could be considered sad circumstances . It seems the hardest thing I have to deal with (so far) in regard to "getting older" is many of those whose entertainment I enjoyed in my "younger years" are passing on ......

 

RIP

 

How sad!

 

RIP

I always liked the roles he played in his movies.

For a while, during their concurrent careers, I used to get him mixed up with actor J.T. Walsh.

 

Sad news. R.I.P. Mr. Heard.

 

Very strange that I should read that he died, since I literally just watched part of the first "Home Alone" earlier. Always hard for me to turn away when skipping through the channels, if Joe Pesci is on doing his thing.

 

RIP.

I loved him in Trip To Bountiful

 

The ball scene in the movie Big with Tom Hanks is my favorite part of the movie.

 

Too bad it leads w Home Alone rather than something substantial like Chilly Scenes of Winter

 

I used to get him mixed up with William Hurt, which caused me to mix him up with John Hurt -- who also kinda looks like J.T. Walsh!

 

I like this scene:

"I don't get it"

 

Sad loss. Great actor. RIP

 

Back surgery at that age is quite risky my mother wanted it..
Till I told her the risks..

 

Oh wow...what a cool actor.

He was the kind that whenever he would appear on screen, it felt like home, because you just knew the face, the mannerisms, the style. He didn't need to be popular. He just needed to make it real...which he did. Every. Time.

It comes for us all, Ladies and Germs. There's no escaping it.

 

'Home Alone' star John Heard had several types of narcotics in his system when he died

 

recently watched Home Alone 1 & 2 and I thought how sad that we lost him ...he was great in the Sopranos...

 

It was how the headline came up from MSN.

 

Did not mean to post clickbait. What I should’ve done was post the link, then posted “New information about his death”.

 

I missed the postings about his death and I was pretty startled to see him in a TCM tribute to all who died this past year. We certainly lost quite a few.

RIP to each and everyone.
