   The loss of a Hollywood legend. Scarface actor Robert Loggia died at his home   
   in Los Angeles on Friday, Dec. 4, Variety.com reports. He was 85.   
       
   His wife of 33 years, Audrey, confirmed his death to The Associated Press, and   
   said that she and the couple's daughter Cynthia were both at his bedside when   
   he passed. The pair also shared three other children.   
       
   "He was an awesome husband and an awesome father," she told TMZ.   
       
   Robert was perhaps best known for his part as drug kingpin Frank Lopez in 1986   
   hit Scarface, as well as his role as MacMillan Toy Company owner Mr. MacMillan   
   in 1988's Big, which starred Tom Hanks.   
       
   The versatile actor has also appeared in films as wide-ranging as An Officer   
   and a Gentleman, Independence Day, Problem Child, and Prizzi's Honor.   
       
   In 1986, the actor was nominated for a Supporting Actor Oscar for his part in   
   Jagged Edge, though the win ultimately went to Don Ameche for Cocoon.   
       
   His long and storied career continued on long past the '80s, however, with   
   roles on the small screen, on various episodes of The Rockford Files and The   
   Sopranos.   
       
   Audrey told TMZ that Robert had been suffering from Alzheimer's for the last   
   five years.   
       
       
   Regards,
