[RIP] 'Big Lebowski' David Huddleston dies at age 85. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Let's get some White Russians this weekend to pay our respect to his career. Recipe follows:

Quoted from Rolling Stone:

His wife, Sarah Koeppe, confirmed to the newspaper that he died of advanced heart and kidney disease on Tuesday in Santa Fe, N.M.

It was his breakout role later in life that brought him the most notoriety, his titular role in 1998's The Big Lebowski, in which he played the humorously cantankerous character who avoids capture by thugs who instead mistake Jeff Bridges' character, "The Dude," for the millionaire Lebowski.

Though Huddleston only appears sporadically, his moments were scene-stealers and key to the film. The movie wasn't a blockbuster when it debuted, but it has since gained cult status and became widely popular.

When the Dude meets Lebowski


White Russian Cocktail

Makes 1 drink

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka, chilled
  • 2/3 ounce Kahlua, or other coffee liqueur
  • 2/3 ounce light cream

Combine ingredients in an old fashioned glass over ice. Stir gently.

Rest in Peace David.

Huddleston and Bridges were in a western together in the 70's. About 25 years before they were in Lebowski together.

I've watched the movie more times than I am comfortable admitting :) I know. Just effusing my love for the movie in general. Up until recently I had an out of control mustache that would filter my morning iced coffee. Made me think of the dood and his russians every time :)

Your fan and brother always,

Half of my friends are going to be devastated when they wake up and see this. I think white Russian cocktails are in order this weekend. To David - rest in peace.
