Sculptor Robert Graham Dies

Famed sculptor Robert Graham died on Saturday at 70 from an undisclosed illness, and is survived by his wife, actress Angelica Huston (they married in 1992). The Mexican-born artist worked mostly in bronze and created several iconic works, including the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington D.C. and the Duke Ellington Memorial in New York. Earlier this month, Graham was inducted into The California Museum's California Hall of Fame. He lived in Los Angeles, where his 25-ton brass doors adorned the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. In a statement, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “His work was truly influential and he will forever remain an icon in this state.”
