Rest in peace to an actor who always made me stop, look, and listen. Fortunately I remember Reni from his 60's and 70's appearances. There was a movie with him and Jill Haworth (maybe more) in which their electricity was palpable. So very sorry for those of you who knew and loved him. A piece of my heart just left too.
