Donald Sutherland spent nearly 60 years in the acting business, passing his passion down to his kids and granddaughter. Sutherland died on Thursday, June 20 at 88, leaving behind five adult children who have all spent their careers in show business or media, either in front of the camera or behind it. He named each of his four sons after directors he worked with.
Donald looked back on his career in a 2005 interview and reflected on how the decisions he made ultimately led him to finding his wife. Kiefer told People in 2016 that working with his father in the 2015 western Forsaken was “something I have wanted to do for 30 years.” 'There were tears in his eyes, and he said, 'Kid, that's what you're supposed to do,'' he recalled to People.As the youngest of Donald’s children, Angus has spent time as both an actor and producer. His middle name, Redford, is a nod to actor and filmmaker Robert Redford, whom Donald worked with on Ordinary People.
