Carradine was part of the famed Hollywood acting family that included his
father, John Carradine, and brother Keith.
The actor - who was married five times and divorced four - is survived by his
widow, Annie Bierman, whom he wed in 2004.
He was nominated as Best Actor for his role as Woody Guthrie in 1976's Bound
for Glory and recently appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, playing the
role of Bill.
"I don't need to convince anybody that I know kung fu, but maybe somebody needs
to know that I really can act, without doing a Chinese accent or a funny walk,"
he once said.Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute
