British actor Albert Finney, known for his starring roles on "Tom Jones" and the James Bond thriller "Skyfall," has died at age 82.
The actor's family confirmed Finney's death to the Associated Press on Friday morning saying he "passed away peacefully after a short illness with those closest to him by his side."
Finney was a rare star who managed to avoid the Hollywood limelight for more than five decades after bursting to international fame in 1963 in the title role of "Tom Jones."
The film gained him the first of five Oscar nominations. Others followed for "Murder on the Orient Express," ''The Dresser," ''Under the Volcano" and "Erin Brockovich."
In later years he brought authority to action movies, including "Skyfall" and two of the Bourne films. He is also known as Daddy Warbucks in the 1982 film "Annie."
