He was quite cool in Driver. Also pretty good in Paper Moon but then got shitty when his daughter won an Oscar. Some serious domestic abuse history as well.

Only 61.

Produced some iconic photographs.
I think it was Chris Laidlaw who provided the "Who'd Be A Welshman?" caption to this Peter Bush photo
