A great actor, whose memory will be immortalised through his wonderful work on screen.

Sad news to share… 💔 Beloved actor Tom Skerritt has passed away at the age of 93.

His family announced today, October 22, that he died of natural causes on October 21, 2026.

Whether you knew him as Viper in Top Gun, Captain Dallas in Alien or Drum Eatenton in Steel Magnolias, Tom was a familiar face in so many movies we grew up watching. His work also included M*A*S*H, A River Runs Through It and Contact. On television, he earned an Emmy in 1993 for playing Sheriff Jimmy Brock in Picket Fences.

Disney fans may remember him opposite Hayley Mills in The Parent Trap II, which premiered on Disney Channel in 1986. His Disney history went back even further, playing Whit Turner in Those Calloways in 1965 alongside Brian Keith, Vera Miles and Walter Brennan.

Born August 25, 1933, in Detroit, Michigan, Tom leaves behind his wife, Julie Tokashiki, five children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and everyone who loved his work. 🙏

Thank you for the movies, the memories and all those evenings spent watching. Rest in peace, Tom. ❤️

Hawks wrote the original story himself, about American mail pilots flying a dangerous route through Andean fog, and Jules Furthman turned it into the screenplay. Columbia released it in May 1939. Grant played Geoff Carter colder and harder than audiences were used to seeing him, in what was his thirty third film in seven years and the second of five he would make with Hawks.
⠀
Thomas Mitchell played Kid Dabb, the veteran flyer losing his eyesight. He had one of the great single years any actor has ever had in 1939, appearing in this, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Gone with the Wind and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and winning the Academy Award for Stagecoach. The film also gave Rita Hayworth her breakout role and brought silent star Richard Barthelmess back to the screen after three years away.
⠀
The flying was real. Paul Mantz did the stunt work and Elmer Dyer shot the aerial footage, and the picture earned Academy Award nominations for black and white cinematography and special effects. The Library of Congress added it to the National Film Registry in 2017.
