With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of George Segal, aged 87, on March 23, 2021. George Segal was born on February 13, 1934 in Great Neck, New York. He attended Cooper Union in New York City before being cast in his first Broadway play, "Come Blow Your Horn". Segal began appearing in films and television shows in the 1960s and 1970s, most notably in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, where he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and The Goldbergs. He also won a Golden Globe award for his performance in The Owl and the Pussycat. His career in Hollywood spanned seven decades and ranged from dramatic movies to comedies and rom-coms such as Look Who's Talking and Flirting with Disaster. Segal, who became a familiar face in many homes over his long and distinguished career, continued to act into his late 80s. Jovial and generous, his wit and charm were always a treat to behold. He will be deeply missed by his fans, friends and family. In addition to his acting career, Segal was an ardent painter. He produced more than 200 works of art that were exhibited in numerous galleries. He was pre-deceased by his wife Alice, and survived by his sons, sons-in-law and grandchildren.
