John Cazale

John Cazale was known for his roles in the Oscar-nominated films, The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deer Hunter.  Being married to his work, Cazale chose to continue acting despite being diagnosed with lung cancer. This was the result of his habit of chain-smoking. 

The archival footage Cazale was seen in Godfather III, twelve years after his death. He died in March 1978, shortly after completing filming his role in The Deer Hunter. His then-wife, Meryl Streep, was by his side throughout his battle with cancer.
