Sutherland was born July 17, 1935 in New Brunswick, Canada, later moving to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Throughout his childhood he battled a number of serious illnesses including polio, rheumatic fever and spinal meningitis.
He left Canada to pursue an interest in acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and soon found work in TV and low-budget films.
He got a Hollywood breakthrough in the classic war film The Dirty Dozen, whose ensemble cast includes Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine and Jim Brown. It was the fifth highest grossing film of 1967.
After leaving London for Hollywood, Sutherland landed one of his most iconic roles in the 1970 anti-war comedy-drama MASH, originating the role of “Hawkeye” Pierce. MASH was one of the most successful films of the decade and is regarded as a classic.
Throughout the ’70s, Sutherland was a Hollywood leading man: his films include in the Oscar-winning Klute opposite Jane Fonda, the psychological horror Don’t Look Now, and the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. He also appeared in the hit comedy Animal House.
In 1980, he starred in Robert Redford’s Ordinary People, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Other major films include Backdraft, JFK, Six Degrees of Separation, The Italian Job and Pride and Prejudice.
Sutherland also had success on TV, winning an Emmy Award for the 1995 film Citizen X, and a Golden Globe for the television film Path to War.
A younger generation of moviegoers was introduced to Sutherland through The Hunger Games, the hit dystopian blockbuster series: Sutherland starred as the villainous President Coriolanus Snow.
Though he surprisingly never received an Oscar nomination, he received an Academy Honorary Award in 2017, “for a lifetime of indelible characters, rendered with unwavering truthfulness.” He also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011, and on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2000.
Sutherland was married three times; he was married to actress Francine Racette for 52 years until his death. He was previously married to Lois May Hardwick and Shirley Douglas, and also had an affair with his Klute co-star Jane Fonda.
He had five children — including most famously his son Kiefer Sutherland, the actor best known for playing Jack Bauer in 24.
”I was too young to go watch my father’s films in the cinema,” Kiefer Sutherland told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017. “By the time I hit 20, VHS was available and a friend of my fathers had a lot of his films. In three days I watched Don’t Look Know, Klute, M*A*S*H, Kelly’s Heroes, 1900 and Fellini’s Casanova.”
“It was such a wide spectrum of characters, and I remember calling him up and I felt really badly that I grew up not knowing what a profoundly special actor he was, I felt horribly guilty of that. As a young actor, I had never known or seen another actor who’ve done characters so diverse either.”
Rest in peace to the iconic actor Donald Sutherland who lent his talents to so many great, classic movies — you will be missed 💔😢
Fans Notice Wynonna Judd, 60, ‘Lost Too Much Weight’ as She Flaunts ‘Skinny’ Look in Black Plunging Outfit
The main topic of conversation among the general public is Wynonna Judd’s physique. After seeing an online snapshot and video of the singer, many noticed a considerable change in her weight. Years have passed since she disclosed something regarding her weight.
The 60-year-old country music queen Wynonna Judd ignited Instagram on August 7th when she uploaded a picture of herself with a rockstar guitar and her fiery characteristic hair, looking stunning and lively. Even while many people acknowledged Wynonna’s attractiveness, they couldn’t help but notice something quite strange about her physique.
She was wearing an all-black outfit with a plunging neckline in the photo, offering fans a cheeky peek at her cleavage and neck. Wynonna accessorized her ensemble with an eye-catching rosary as she made a kissing face for the camera.
The singer of “I Saw The Light” wrote in her post, “THE BACK TO WY TOUR STARTS IN ONE MONTHHHH!!!!!!!!!!,” hinting at an exciting new project she’s working on for her followers.
On August 10, three days after the picture was shared, a fan uploaded a video of Wynonna performing at the Back Road Music Festival in Galva, Illinois, on TikTok. She was spotted wearing the same attire as in her Instagram picture.
The country music icon was captured on camera performing a stirring cover of one of her best-loved songs, “No One Else On Earth,” to the sound of her gifted band.
Wynonna’s long, glittering black jacket swayed as she went around the stage and swung her hands in the air, giving an intense performance for the enthusiastic audience. Occasionally, it would show off what was underneath—a black, tight-fitting top that emphasized her thin figure.
Many people used social media to comment on how much weight they thought the musician had dropped recently after viewing the photo and TikTok fan video, with some saying it was too much.”You’ve shed too much weight,” an Instagram user said.
“Someone say ozempic,” said someone else who thinks Wynonna may have taken anything to aid in her weight loss. One netizen wrote, “Love you Wy, you need some biscuits and gravy cause you a bone now baby!!!”
However, some individuals believe Wynonna looks fantastic now that she has shed some weight.”Whoa, Wy, you look amazing. Very lovely. I want to have your current slim figure. Please share the secret, gushed an admirer.
Another admirer echoed the remark and mentioned Wynonna’s late, renowned mother, saying, “Wynonna, you look just like your beautiful mama now that you’ve lost all the weight! ♥️.”
Even though Wynonna hasn’t officially acknowledged her recent weight reduction, a review of some of her older images and videos reveals a noticeable change in the star’s physical appearance. Wynonna appears somewhat fuller than she does now in a portrait of the “Give A Little Love” singer at the 2022 CMT and Sandbox Live event held in her honor.
A close-up of Wynonna’s face was seen in a video that CMT’s official account posted on Instagram during her performance at the same event. Wynonna’s face appears rounder and plumper from the perspective of the video than it does now.
Wynonna and her late mother Naomi Judd, who performed the song “Love Can Build A Bridge” as their duo group The Judds, are seen in the video.
Wynonna revealed a personal information about her weight on an earlier edition of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” years before that performance and before her most recent Instagram photo and appearance at the Back Road Music Festival.
Ashley Judd, Wynonna’s sister, and mother joined her on the program. A 2010 excerpt from the conversation disclosed Wynonna’s history with weight issues.
She acknowledged that when she was a little child, she first struggled with her weight. The musician of “Flies On The Butter” disclosed that she had never discussed her issues with her mother or sister, which just serves to exacerbate the wound.
The country legend is still a stunning, creative force in the music business, whether or not she lost weight, despite the fact that the aforementioned facts are undoubtedly depressing.
