Veteran actor Allen Garfield has died from COVID-19 complications. He was residing at the Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills, Calif. at the time of his death at age 80.

Actress Ronee Blakely wrote on Twitter: “RIP Allen Garfield, the great actor who played my husband in “Nashville”, has died today of Covid; I hang my head in tears; condolences to family and friends; I will post more later; cast and crew, sending love.”

His sister, Lois Goorwitz, confirmed his death in a brief conversation. No memorial plans have been announced.

Garfield suffered a stroke as he was set to appear in Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate (1999), then suffered another one in 2004 that led him to reside at the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital in Woodland Hills. A spokeswoman for the MPTF facility did not know if Garfield was there at the time of his death.

"The reason I did [the 1988 movie] Chief Zabu is that Allen Garfield is from the Actors Studio, I'm from the Actors Studio, and we worked together there on stuff," actress Marianna Hill said in a 2016 interview with Shaun Chang for the Hill Place blog. "Allen Garfield happens to be a great actor. He's a really underrated actor. Allen was the hardest-working actor, but nobody realizes that about him because he seems to be a natural."
