Ryan O’Neal was best known for his numerous roles in films such as Love story, A bridge too far, What’s up doctor?, Paper moon, and many more.
His son Patrick broke the news of his father’s passing via Instagram on Friday saying, “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say, but here we go. My dad passed away peacefully today, with his loving team at his side supporting him and loving him as he would us.”
O’Neal’s cause of death remains unknown, but he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012 and battled chronic leukemia in 2001. O’Neal is best remembered not only as a prominent actor of the 1970s, but also like a big heartbeat.

He was nominated in 1970 for the Oscar for Best Actor for Love story. O’Neal was also associated with Farrah Fawcett from 1979 to 1997, then reconnected in the 2000s. Patrick said: “Ryan never bragged, but he has bragging rights in Heaven. Especially when it comes to Farrah. Everyone had the sign, he had the real McCoy. And now they meet again.”
In addition to his history with Fawcett, O’Neal had no shortage of adventures that included the likes of Ursula Andress, Barbra Streisand, Bianca Jagger, Jacqueline Bisset, Joan Collins and Diana Ross.
O’Neal is survived by his four children and five grandchildren. Her death is just the latest in a long list of actors and stars who have said goodbye this year, including Matthew Perry, Andrea Fay Friedman, Peter White and Tyler Christopher, among others.
