Fox News
Albert Ruddy, who produced and won Academy Awards for "The Godfather" and "Million Dollar Baby" and co-created "Hogan's Heroes," has died at 94.
One of the last things he said, according to the spokesperson, was, "The game is over, but we won the game."
Ruddy’s career took him to spectacular heights, but he also skirted controversy and even danger along the way from having his car windows shot by real-life mobsters who left a note telling him to stop the production of "The Godfather" and people like Frank Sinatra complaining that the mafia movie reinforced negative stereotypes about Italian Americans to criticism that "Hogan’s Heroes" trivialized Nazis.
