American actor Stacy Keach has died in Poland. His wife, Małgorzata Tomaszewski, confirmed this information to Variety.
According to her, Keach died "after a long and difficult battle with serious heart disease and heart failure" at their family home in Magdalenka.
Walter Stacy Keach was born in 1941 in Georgia to a family of actors, originally trained as an actor.
Stacy Keach is known for his roles in films such as "Nebraska," "The New Centurions," "American History X," "Gold," and also in TV series like "Prison Break," "Brooklyn 9-9," and "Mysteries of the Dark Jungle."
In the post-Soviet space, he is known for the detective series "Mike Hammer," where he played a New York private detective who does not shy away from "dirty methods" in his investigations, but captivates women. The series is based on Mickey Spillane's books and is far better than the books.
The actor's last work was the role of Jay Kelly's father in the film "Jay Kelly" (2025), where George Clooney played the main character.
Stacy Keach was married four times; his last marriage, since 1986, was to Polish model Małgorzata Tomaszewski. Keach moved to Poland, and the couple adopted two children.
