F.X. Feeney, a longtime film critic for LA Weekly, a film historian and a screenwriter, has died. He was 66.
Claudia Puig, a contributor to TheWrap and the president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, told TheWrap via an announcement by his family on Facebook that Feeney died on Wednesday after suffering several strokes on Sunday and Monday.
“He was an incredibly graceful and insightful writer and a gentle, funny, and big-hearted person. He exuded civility and kindness as well as keen intelligence. His passing is a major loss. F.X. was a member of LAFCA for many years and will be very much missed,” Puig said in a statement.
