These are difficult moments for the actress Blake Lively (33). The main character of ‘Gossip Girl’ he has just lost his father, the well-known actor from the series ‘Dukes of Hazard’. Has been The Hollywood Reporter the one in charge of announcing the disappearance of Ernie Lively. Ernie passed away on June 3, but the family has preferred to live the first moments in the most absolute privacy. Only now has the death of the actor been known.
As published by the American media, Ernie passed away at age 74 after suffering from various heart complications. He had been away from film and television for years, and lived in his home in Los Angeles, California, always surrounded by his family: “his wife and all his children.”
Ernie Lively was a star in the United States, but here in Spain there are few who identify him by name and surname. He spent most of his life dedicated to the entertainment industry, or what is the same, making movies and more movies. In total they have been 50 years of professional career. ‘Passenger 57′, ‘The Dukes of Hazard’ y ‘Air America’ These are just some of the feature films in which this actor and also a film director has worked.
Beyond the seventh art, Ernie participated in several television projects, including the mythical series ‘The X-Files’, ‘Seinfeld’, ‘Murder, She Wrote’ y ‘The West Wing’.
He was born in 1947, in Baltimore. He started working in 1975 and his last role was in 2020, in the independent film ‘Phobic’. All of Ernie’s children have decided to follow in the footsteps of their father (and their mother, who is also an actress). We talk about Blake, Jason, Eric, Robyn and Lori Lively. The best known is Blake, of course. His fame came with ‘Gossip Girl’ and currently has a large number of films behind him. She is a mother and married to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds.
At the moment none of the children has spoken about the death of their father. As we told you, the actor died a victim of heart problems that had been crawling since 2003, when he suffered a heart attack. In 2013, he underwent an experimental treatment carried out with retrograde genes that used stem cells. Despite all these difficulties, Ernie never considered giving up acting, producing or directing. It was his passion.
His career, as we told you, has developed above all as an actor. Although Ernie Lively also worked as acting teacher, as did his wife, actress Elaine Lively. Ernie is known to be partly responsible for the screening of celebrities such as Alyson Hannigan (‘Buffy the vampire slayer’s), the deceased Brittany Murphy and the actor and singer Scott Grimes.
