Alan Arkin was remembered by his friends and colleagues as a giant talent in film, television and theater, a man whose winding life paths seemed to be able to transform any role. But it was the small gestures that were most prominent, the little generosities that stayed with people many years.




Michael Douglas saluted Arkin’s long career.

“Today we lost a wonderful actor whose intelligence, sense of comedy and consummate professionalism over the past 70 years has left an indelible mark on our industry. My experience of working with Alan were some of my most memorable. He will be deeply missed. Sincere condolences to his wife, Suzanne, and his family.”




Sarah Baker wrote on Instagram:

"When I was with Alan, I couldn’t see anyone else. People understandably treated him with reverence because they were so in awe of his talent, but he liked to joke around and do bits. Nothing made me happier than making him laugh. We formed a friendship that I will always hold dear. I wish I’d gotten to see him one more time, but I’m happy that he knew how much he meant to me.

In his last email to me, he said “I haven’t even been out of my Birkenstocks in three years.” I know he was living a happy and peaceful life with his dear Suzanne, and I’m thinking of her and his family and friends today. I love you, Alan."




Paul Reiser wrote on Instagram:

"A world without Alan Arkin is …not so great. I’ve loved this man from the moment he came on screen in “The Russians Are Coming..” (“Whitaker Walt!l) I was 8. Getting to know him - and getting a laugh out of him - is a highlight of my life. RIP dear friend."



Lisa Edelstein wrote on Instagram:

"I feel so fortunate to have worked with the amazing Alan Arkin. Condolences to Suzanne and the rest of the family."
