She said Hall had been well until a few weeks earlier, and spent his final days in warm spirits, reflecting on his life.
"Men who are highly stressed, older men, who are at the limit of their tolerance for suffering and stress and pain," Hall told the Washington Post in 2017."I had an affinity for playing those roles." "I'm reading this script, and I truly had trouble believing that that kid wrote this script," Hall told the AV Club in 2012."I mean, it was just so brilliant, resonating with nuance all over the place, like a playwright. Certainly, as a film, I'd never really seen anything like it. It was staggering."
"I have a particular fascination with character actors, with wanting to turn them into lead actors," Anderson told The Los Angeles Times in 1998."I see Philip Baker Hall, he's just . . . an actor that I love. There's no one else with a face like that, or a voice like that."
