NEW YORK -- Jack Warden, an Emmy-winning and Academy Award-nominated actor who played gruff cops, coaches and soldiers in a career that spanned five decades, has died. He was 85.

Warden, who lived in Manhattan, died Wednesday at a hospital in New York, Sidney Pazoff, his longtime business manager, said in Los Angeles Friday.
"Everything gave out. Old age," Pazoff said. "He really had turned downhill in the past month; heart and then kidney and then all kinds of stuff."
Warden was nominated twice for supporting-actor Oscars -- for the 1975 movie "Shampoo" and in 1978's "Heaven Can Wait."
He won a supporting actor Emmy for his role as a coach in the 1971 made-for-TV movie "Brian's Song" and was twice nominated in the 1980s for leading actor in a comedy for his show "Crazy Like a Fox."
