## Resource

Sam Neill, the beloved actor known for his iconic roles and quiet grace, has passed away from pneumonia after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Just months ago, he announced remission following groundbreaking CAR-T therapy and went on to film four major projects back-to-back — all set to premiere soon. His colleagues, including Spielberg and Waititi, hailed him as a kind, witty collaborator whose presence lit up every set. A private memorial will be held at his New Zealand farm, honoring his lifelong love of winemaking and his deep desire for privacy. He leaves behind a legacy that spans cinema, vineyards, and the hearts of millions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
