The co-creator of Hogan's Heroes, Albert S. Ruddy, was 94
Albert S. Ruddy , the two-time Best Picture -winning producer of The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby , has died. As confirmed to Deadline by a family spokesperson, Ruddy died at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center following a brief illness on May 25. He was 94. “Among the last words of Albert S. Ruddy : ‘The game is over, but we won the game!’ Ruddy ’s wife, Wanda McDaniel, wrote on Instagram. “You slayed the game of life, my darling. The void you leave behind is as immense as our love.
Ruddy’s towering frame and gravelly voice kept the picture on track as he met with actual crime families and 1,500 delegates of the Italian-America Civil Rights Leagues to keep the film from falling into gangster film cliche—as well as keeping them appeased with a film many would say wasn’t the most positive representation of Italian Americans. The film’s production was adapted into a miniseries, The Offer, which featured Miles Teller as Ruddy.
