Actor and director Peter Fonda, who rose to fame with his role in 'Easy Rider,' has passed away.
Fonda died of respiratory failure due to lung cancer at his Los Angeles home, the family said in an emailed statement. He was surrounded by family.
Fonda was a member of the Hollywood powerhouse Fonda family, as the son of legendary actor Henry Fonda and the brother of actress and activist Jane Fonda. His daughter is actress Bridget Fonda. Film critic Roger Ebert called the film"one of the rallying-points of the late '60s," saying it was a buddy picture that celebrated"sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and the freedom of the open road."
