Film, television, and stage actor Jerry Stiller died of natural causes, as according to his son Ben Stiller. He was 92.
“I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed away from natural causes,” Ben announced on Twitter. “He was a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years. He will be greatly missed. Love you Dad.”
Stiller is known for his TV roles as Frank Costanza on Seinfeld and Arthur Spooner on The King of Queens, and multiple films including, The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three, John Waters’ Hairspray, his son’s Zoolander, and Richard Lester’s adaptation of Terrence McNally’s play, The Ritz, which Jerry also acted in on Broadway.
But he might be best remembered for being part of the comedy team Stiller & Meara, which he performed with his wife, Anne Meara. The pair met in 1953 at a New York casting call,...

The charismatic star of the Iron Man trilogy earned $75m in the past year. Not bad for a drug addict the studios once shunned
Fifteen years ago, Robert Downey Jr was sleeping on his assistant's sofa, addicted to heroin, cocaine and alcohol, and with only the first of several prison and rehab spells behind him. Even in Hollywood, where the most extreme appetites will be accommodated by the entertainment industry, his screw-ups had become too extravagant and numerous to hush up. His $2m asking-price had dropped 75% and he was virtually uninsurable.
Concerned friends described him as a "lovable tornado". Film-maker Mike Figgis, who directed Downey as an artist with Aids in 1997's One Night Stand, recalls him arriving for their introductory meeting barefoot, high and brandishing a handgun. "Why have you got a gun?" asked a concerned Figgis. "Oh, I didn't want to leave it in my car," Downey deadpanned.
