R.I.P. I will especially remember him from the movie "Twister" with Helen Hunt and his role as Sam Houston in "Texas Rising" and in the "Apollo 13" movie Story: http://people.com/movies/bill-paxton-dead-complications-surgery-age-61/ His body of work in Movies and TV: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000200/ Bill had rheumatic fever in the 7th grade. It kept him hospitalized for a month and bedridden for four months. He had to take regular doses of penicillin until he was 18. That can led to heart problems throughout your life. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjAzNzQ3OTgxNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMjY0NjY0NTE@._V1_SY1000_CR0,0,667,1000_AL_.jpg
