of the 7th Lumiere Festival in Lyon, central France. Max von Sydow, the self-described “shy
boy”-turned-actor who played the priest in the horror classic “The Exorcist,” has died. He was 90, it
was reported on Monday, March 9, 2020. He was known to art house audiences through his work with Swedish
director Ingmar Bergman. But it was his role as the devil-evicting priest in William Friedkin’s
controversial 1973 film "The Exorcist" that brought him to international attention.
