George Segal, the US actor who was Oscar-nominated for his performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, has died at the age of 87.
The New Yorker starred alongside Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in the 1966 film adaptation of Edward Albee’s play.
He went on to play comic roles in shows like The Goldbergs and Just Shoot Me.
His wife Sonia Segal said she and her family were “devastated” to confirm he died on Tuesday in California.
She added Segal had died “due to complications from bypass surgery”.
Hollywood actor and director Ben Stiller led tributes to Segal, describing him as an “iconic cool funny” movie star.
