Editor's Take:

Donald Sutherland had a long, varied career without ever being nominated for a competitive Oscar. He was a counterculture star of the 1970s in M*A*S*H and Klute. He was haunting in Don't Look Now. Later generations knew him as the cold, polished President Snow. He chose roles for interest rather than vanity. He moved easily between big films and small ones. He was also an outspoken political activist. He worked until shortly before his death in 2024.
