Remembering Alan Arkin
Remembrances and tributes are pouring in for actor Alan Arkin on social media.
Arkin's representative confirmed his death Friday. Arkin was 89.
His contributions to cinema and inspiration to fellow actors dominate the posts. His reputation as a kind person was also repeated in many posts.
So sad to hear about Alan Arkin. A brilliant actor who was a thrill to work with and a thrill to watch work.

#ripAlanArkin Such a wonderful, original voice for comedy. And on the few occasions I was in his presence, a kind and generous soul. I learned so much from watching him. And the laughs I got from his glorious work seem endless. May he rest well.

Did ANYONE have the range Alan Arkin had? Hilarious, sinister, insane, tragic. No mood he couldn’t live in. RIP. pic.twitter.com/pUVa5j8Tqc

Alan Arkin made every film he was in better.

Never a false moment.
My Dad and I laughed so hard watching “The In-laws” together.
Here he is seemlessly in “Glengarry Glenross.” https://t.co/L4yiqbGHzZ
Alan Arkin played my wonderful, scoundrel dad in Joshua Then and Now. It was the chance of a lifetime to work with every actor’s idol. He didn’t disappoint. A dream come true. #RIP, my friend. https://t.co/IXkrfs8rI7
