The tweet also provided some insight into Dalton’s background, revealing that he peacefully passed away in his Hawaii home, survived by his wife, Francesca. Rick Dalton’s legacy is remembered with the inscription, “RIP Rick Dalton 1933-2023.”
On their podcast, Tarantino and Avary revisit VHS classics like “Moonraker,” “Star 80,” “Rodan,” and more. Following the news of Rick Dalton’s passing, the podcast pledged to dedicate its next episode to some of Dalton’s cherished roles.
“In light of his departure, we’re postponing the Rollerball episode. Instead, we’ll return next Tuesday with a tribute episode curated by Quentin, showcasing some of Rick’s finest moments.”
Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming episode.
The New Beverly Cinema, an establishment owned and operated by Tarantino, expressed its condolences for the loss of Dalton by featuring a special marquee message, honoring him as “a remarkable actor.”
In the film, Rick Dalton resided next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles. Alongside his stunt double and chauffeur, Cliff Booth (portrayed by Oscar-winner Brad Pitt), they faced an attack by Charles Manson’s followers and ultimately thwarted the real-life, gruesome 1969 murder spree.
