According to the Guardian, Stacy Keach, one of America's finest stage actors best known for playing private eye Mike Hammer on TV, has died at the age of 85. His wife, Malgosia Tomassi Keach, stated that he died on Tuesday at home in Magdalenka, Poland, after a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure. Keach enjoyed a varied career spanning classical theatre, including Shakespearean roles, as well as numerous film and television appearances. His career was nearly derailed following his 1984 arrest at London's Heathrow Airport for trying to smuggle cocaine into Britain, an experience and subsequent addiction he later addressed candidly.
