Let's get some White Russians this weekend to pay our respect to his career. Recipe follows:
Quoted from Rolling Stone:
His wife, Sarah Koeppe, confirmed to the newspaper that he died of advanced heart and kidney disease on Tuesday in Santa Fe, N.M.It was his breakout role later in life that brought him the most notoriety, his titular role in 1998's The Big Lebowski, in which he played the humorously cantankerous character who avoids capture by thugs who instead mistake Jeff Bridges' character, "The Dude," for the millionaire Lebowski.
Though Huddleston only appears sporadically, his moments were scene-stealers and key to the film. The movie wasn't a blockbuster when it debuted, but it has since gained cult status and became widely popular.
When the Dude meets Lebowski
White Russian Cocktail
Makes 1 drink- 1 1/2 ounces vodka, chilled

Huddleston and Bridges were in a western together in the 70's. About 25 years before they were in Lebowski together.

One of the great modern day cult classics.
RIP.
the dude is still alive... it's the other lebowski. The Big Lebowski.
I've watched the movie more times than I am comfortable admitting :) I know. Just effusing my love for the movie in general. Up until recently I had an out of control mustache that would filter my morning iced coffee. Made me think of the dood and his russians every time :)
Rest in Peace my friend! You were one hell of a man and this world will miss you greatly! You always made us smile when we needed it most! You were an angel among us mere men. Keep an eye out on us, will ya?
Your fan and brother always,
-The Hatter
