LOS ANGELES, CA - The entertainment industry is mourning the loss of a legendary actor, John Smith, who passed away yesterday at the age of 75. Smith was a beloved figure in Hollywood, known for his iconic roles in films and television shows that spanned over four decades.

Born on March 12, 1947, in New York City, Smith began his acting career in the early 1970s, landing small roles in films and television shows. However, it was his breakout performance in the 1985 film "The Last Goodbye" that catapulted him to stardom. He went on to star in a string of successful films, including "The Hero's Journey," "The Last Stand," and "The Final Act."

Smith's impressive filmography was matched only by his impressive list of awards and nominations. He won two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, and was nominated for numerous other prestigious awards throughout his career.

In addition to his film work, Smith was also a respected stage actor, appearing in numerous productions on Broadway and in regional theaters across the country.

"John Smith was a true Hollywood legend," said his longtime friend and colleague, actress Jane Doe. "He was a kind and generous soul, and his talent was simply unmatched. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and loved his work."

Smith is survived by his wife of 40 years, Mary, and their two children, Emily and James. Funeral services are pending.
