Reasons for Sam's demise

Sam is no more in this world as he died at the age of 73 due to the complications of ALS. Basically, ALS is a form of motor neuron disease. 

Sam had been struggling with this disease privately in the last stage of his final years. Despite going through the hard times, he stayed up hard at his work. 

Other than that, his long-time editor at Knopf, named LuAnn Walther, says that the actor had faced and lived with this neurodegenerative disease for many years. 

Also, adding the artist was very private and had a shy nature from publicity. That's the reason he was silent about this situation too. 

Despite being so difficult for him, he was continuously writing and published his final project of fiction titled 'The One Inside' in February. 

Another source also shared that the artist wanted to keep this phase of his life private as he lived in Kentucky peacefully and also the place where he took his last breath. 

Sam was captured at a party back in 2015 with his mate Patti Smith. At that time only, the disease began to take its toll. However, the artist was magnetic as ever. 

Last but not least, even though the man did not spoke anything about his health, he wrote a bit in his book stating a man who is unable to get up from his bed in the morning time and at the same time felt that both limbs weren't connected to the drive of his body. 

About his mother

His mother is a recipient of two Academy Awards, three Primetime Emmy awards, and a Tony award. But how did her acting career start from? 

In 1968, his mother dropped out of the University of Minnesota in order to marry her fellow student, a Spanish photographer named Paco Grande. 

In 1970, she moved to Paris to study mime. 

While studying mime in Paris, she realized that she had to find something else, so she moved to New York to study acting. 

She started working as a waitress and also modeled for the Wilhelmina Agency. 

She then got a call from Wilhelmina saying that Hollywood producer Dino De Laurentiis had asked her if she would send some models from her agency for the audition for the part in the 1976 film King Kong. 

Until that point, she was taking classes and thinking it was going to take years before she was ready to actually do anything to perform. 

Still, it was a free trip to California, and she was stone-broke, so she thought she had nothing to lose and went for the audition. 

She landed the role in her very first audition.

Lange said that she was not prepared when the movie was released and went to shock after all the media attention and all. 

According to her, everyone dismissed her after that except for American film critic Pauline Kael who still had great things to say even about that performance. 

She then went into a state of withdrawal. She didn’t want anything more to do with it. 

Lange said it was hurtful at the time, but when she looks back now, it wasn’t terrible. 

Still, she was just so vulnerable and unsuspecting at the time of what that was going to be like when suddenly she was everywhere on the cover of the magazines where everyone was reviewing her performance, for which she was not prepared. 

After King Kong, she went back to New York and started taking acting classes once again to slowly work her way into the world of theater. 

She was not thinking of movies. But then, in 1979, Bob Fosse’s film All That Jazz came along where he had written a part for her. 

Then there was an audition for Postman, and the editor of the Postman was directing the story of Francis Farmer. 

By the time she did Postman, she felt like she was beginning to learn what this was about. Then she went on and on with other movies.
