Kris Kristofferson, the beloved actor and country music singer-songwriter, died at home in Maui on Sept. 28.
His big break came with his star-turning role as self-destructive rock star John Norman Howard in the 1976 remake of A Star Is Born. Costarring Barbra Streisand as Esther Hoffman — an unknown singer and John Norman's love interest — the film earned Kristofferson a Golden Globe for best actor in 1977. He also was known for his performances as Whistler in the Blade trilogy opposite Wesley Snipes.
Music was never far behind, though. Kristofferson formed a country supergroup with Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson called The Highwaymen. Their first album, Highwayman, and its titular single topped the country charts in 1985. The band released two more albums — 1990's Highwayman 2 and 1995's The Road Goes On Forever.
A representative for the star said he was surrounded by family when he died "peacefully" at his home in Maui on Saturday, Sept. 28.
