While I do agree with the last posters comment, I think it is important to remmeber that this is not about bashing other posters for their opinions, but is a tribute to a great actor and the last woman he loved. It puts, in my humble opinion, a taint on that by putting her downit is disrespectful of his memory and the love they sharedwhich is no ones business but theirs anyway.
So, all I have to say, is I have been a fan of his since my Mom showed me DOG DAY AFTERNOON as a kid. I've seen everything he has been in several times overas I have with Streep as well. The first thing I saw her in was JULIA. Luminous!
May he rest in peace. -

The truth is..
Dinero is the one that requested for John Cazale to be in the film..
But they did not want him because they thought he could die in the middle of filming..
So Dinero dropped a considerable amount of money as 'insurance' for Cazale to be in the movie.
That right there goes to show16d0 how amazing of an actor he was..
Think about how much money you would have to pay a production company to not care if a actor in there film died and they would have to re-cast and reshoot all those scenes..
It must have been a lot of money.
Dinero knew Cazale was the man the for the job.. When Dinero takes money out of his personal stash just for someone to be in a movie That shows how much he respected Cazales acting ability.
Its not just because Bob felt sorry for John and wanted him to be in there too..
Its because Dinero is extremely determined to make a film as great as it could be.. Or even greater.. And he wanted the best actors he could get around him..
And that was John -

When Meryl Streep gave her Oscar acceptance speech, thanking friends here and gone (looking up), I was reminded that she was engaged to John Cazale at the time of his death in the late 70's. I feel that he was probably one of those she was remembering at that moment.

Didn't she thank her friends, here and gone, who were "responsible for (my) career"? If so, then I would say that definitely includes John; he was the first to talk her up to his star pals like Al Pacino, and Meryl herself said John taught her everything she knows about acting. And she still throws out little references to John, without mentioning his name (it's still difficult for her to talk about him). That was a sweet moment last night.
Yeah, they're dead; they'reall messed up!
