Dick Wolf paid tribute to Kotcheff, who worked on SUV during his later years.
Ted Kotcheff, the director behind Weekend at Bernie’s, First Blood, and more, died at the age of 94 of heart failure in Mexico, his daughter confirms to The Canadian Press. He was living in Mexico during his retirement with his wife, where he “died of old age, peacefully, and surrounded by loved ones,” says his son, Thomas, to CBS Canada. Throughout the 80s, he bounced different genres in Hollywood: a comedy with Fun with Dick and Jane, a sports movie with North Dallas Forty, and an action film with First Blood before ending the decade with one of his biggest hits, Weekend at Bernie’s.
