Aubrey Loggia and David Lynch Lost Highway

Michele La Manna: Loggia wife Aubrey Loggia said he died Friday at his home in Los Angeles after a five-year battle with Alzheimer’s, according to Toronto Star. His poor body gave up, she said. He was 85. He loved being an actor and he loved his life. He played wise guys in David Lynch Lost Highway, the spoofs Innocent Blood and Armed and Dangerous, and again on David Chase’sThe Sopranos, as the previously jailed veteran mobster Michele La Manna. A solidly built man with a rugged face and rough voice, Loggia fit neatly into gangster movies, playing a Miami drug lord in Scarface, which starred Al Pacino; and a Sicilian mobster in Prizzi Honor, with Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner.
