Oscar-winning producer Al Ruddy, famed for movie hits like “The Godfather” and “Million Dollar Baby,” has died at 94-years-old. “Among the last words of Albert S. Ruddy: ‘The game is over, but we won the game!’ You slayed the game of life, my darling,” she captioned with a photo of her late husband.

“The void you leave behind is as immense as our love. You were human effervescence, the bubbles in the tonic..



.You were adored by so many, a Hollywood legend and sweetheart. Rest in peace my unique, urbane, brilliant husband.

You are now my heart — always my forever love and my man in the arena.” “As soon as I realized I had an ‘old dad’ I was scared for the day I would lose him. But then he lived so long and so bright that I learned to replace the fear of his passing with gratitude for having him,” she wrote.

“Even though my heart is cleaved into two, I am still grateful. He gave us so many gifts until the very end. And while many will honor his accomplishments, it is my honor to be the only person in the world who can say I was his daughter.

He was the most unique dad in the world.” A growing list of celebrities who had worked alongside the Hollywood great also offered their condolences, including Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood, Hillary Swank, and many more. Following his move to the West Coast, he worked as a programmer making Los Angeles his home before eventually finding his passion in writing and producing.

Mr. Ruddy produced more than 40 project.
