It’s bound to happen now and then. The Academy Awards tradition of honoring the stars who departed in the last year has a lot of ground to cover. Still, one expects the researchers to provide a comprehensive list.
At the 88th Oscars this year, actor Abe Vigoda was most notably left off the list. Vigoda, known especially for his role as Detective Fish in the 1970s TV series “Barney Miller” was also a prolific stage and screen actor, with about 40 movie credits to his name.
His most famous silver screen role was certainly playing Salvatore Tessio in "The Godfather" movies.
