TheNewsguru learnt that the wife of the actor, Jean Marinelli, confirmed Joe’s passing to the Hollywood Reporter. According to the deceased’s wife, the actor reportedly died last Sunday at age 68 after a long battle with throat and stomach cancer.
Mourning the deceased, his colleague, Mark Duplass, in a social media post, wrote, “We have lost a great one. Joe Marinelli lived in the rare air.
“He was a generous performer, beautiful human, wide-eyed positivist. I will miss him dearly. I will try to live my life a bit more like his. We all should”.
“We taught classes together. We talked about nothing and everything in between takes. We cut right to the important stuff on Day 1 of meeting. I will miss him dearly. And I will try to live my life a bit more like he lived his. We all should.”
Acclaimed director Alexander Payne also paid homage, writing:
“The great Joe Marinelli acted in my very first movie at film school 40 years ago and again in Sideways. Aside from being an extraordinary artist, he was a uniquely magnificent human being with a heart as big as the ocean.”
