Couple Profile
John Holland Cazale (August 12, 1935 – March 12, 1978) was a distinguished Golden Globe Award nominated American film and stage actor whose brief career spanned several acclaimed films of the 1970s. An Italian American, Cazale was born in Boston; all four of his grandparents were from Sicily and emigrated to New York City in the 1890s. He studied drama at Oberlin College and Boston College, and was very good friends with Al Pacino as a teenager. He moved to New York and worked as a messenger for an oil company, while working as an off-Broadway actor and auditioning for film and television projects. He is remembered not only for his roles, but also for helping discover his childhood friend Pacino, fellow theater actor Robert De Niro, and his fiancée at the time of his death, Meryl Streep, whom he met when they were both in the Public Theater`s 1976 production of Measure for Measure. Cazale was cited as a "Distinguished Performance" by the Off-Broadway Obie Awards for the 1967-68 season for his performance in Israel Horovitz`s play The Indian Wants the Bronx. Cazale made his big screen debut, alongside old friend Al Pacino, as Fredo Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola`s The Godfather. The film broke box office records and made Pacino, Cazale and several of their previously unknown co-stars famous. Cazale again starred alongside Pacino in Sidney Lumet`s Dog Day Afternoon (for which he received a Golden Globe nomination), and reprised his role as Fredo in The Godfather Part II. During this time, he also starred with Gene Hackman in Coppola`s The Conversation.
Despite being diagnosed with bone cancer, Cazale continued to work, his final appearance being with his fiancée Meryl Streep in The Deer Hunter. When distributor Universal Studios learned of Cazale`s illness, they were reluctant to insure him, but Streep and director Michael Cimino advocated for him. All of his scenes were filmed first due to his cancer. He died on March 12, 1978, shortly after completing his work on the film. John Cazale is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden, Mass.
