My heart is heavy with the news of Stacy Keach’s passing.
Stacy was not only an extraordinary actor and a true master of his craft, but someone who was part of my family and my life for so many years. When someone has been woven into your family’s story, the memories and the love remain, no matter how much time passes.
His remarkable talent, unmistakable voice, and larger-than-life presence will never be forgotten. But beyond the extraordinary artist, I will always remember the man who was part of our family and the years and memories we shared.
My heart goes out to Malgosia, Shannon, Karolina, James, and to everyone who loved him.
Rest in peace, dear Stacy. You leave behind an extraordinary legacy, and a place in our hearts that will always be yours. ♥️

“Stacy Keach has died. He was a talented actor and a lovely man. I worked with him in 1981 on a movie in Australia called Road Games. It was a road picture and he was the truck driver, and I, the hitchhiker. The movie company shot and drove from Adelaide to Perth on the Nullabor Highway. I remember so well that he had done so many movies on location and so he traveled with big steamer trunks filled with creature comforts, rugs and pillows and objects to make a hotel room feel like home and I learned that from him way back then, and do it to this day. Another big loss this year.”

“Stacy Keach was a consummate actor, gracious, giving and incredibly kind even while he had the presence of a smoldering volcano. One of the greats. Proud to have shared some frames with him.”
— Lou Diamond Phillips (who played Keach’s son in the 2008 film Lone Rider)
