Bill Paxton was best known for his roles in films like Apollo 13, Aliens, Weird Science, Titanic, and Twister. On TV, Paxton shined in the HBO drama series Big Love playing the show's lead, Bill Henrickson, from 2006 and 2011. For that role, he received a Golden Globe nomination. He followed that up with another award-winning performance in the 2012 History Channel miniseries Hatfields & McCoys.
Bill was a dedicated family man who had two children with his wife Louise Newbury, whom he married in 1987. Paxton and his family lived a relatively quiet life in their ranch home in Ojai, California. In 2017, Paxton announced that he was suffering from a damaged aortic heart valve - the result of contracting rheumatic fever when he was a child.
Days after making that announcement, Bill underwent emergency open-heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA to repair that damaged valve and attempt to correct an aortic aneurysm. The following day, he was rushed into surgery once again to repair a damaged coronary artery.
Sadly, his condition steadily deteriorated over the next week and a half. On February 25, Bill suffered a fatal stroke and died at 61. Bill's family soon discovered that Bill's death was likely the result of medical negligence. After finding this out, they filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the hospital and surgeon that oversaw his care.
