In the days before the internet a popular question to film magazines was: 'Whatever happened to John Cazale?'
People who first saw him in The Godfather films and then saw him pop up in Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation and The Deer Hunter were flummoxed that this brilliant, distinctive looking actor came out from nowhere, appeared in the great films of the 1970s and then promptly disappeared.
If John Cazale were still alive now he would be a celebrated actor and likely to have Oscar and Tony awards under his belt.
Unfortunately Cazale died of cancer in 1978. He left a legacy in movie history of five performances in five films that were all nominated for the Best Picture Oscars, three of them actually winning the Best Picture Oscar.
