## Resource

Sam Neill, the legendary Australian actor known for his unforgettable roles from Jurassic Park to The Piano, has died at 78. His sudden passing was confirmed by his family, who said he was surrounded by loved ones at the time. Diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma earlier this year, Neill remained cancer-free until his death. A versatile powerhouse with a career spanning decades and genres, he also made waves as a vintner in New Zealand and was knighted for his contributions to film. His memoir and iconic performances continue to resonate, leaving behind a legacy of charm, depth, and global impact — survived by four children and eight grandchildren.
