Michael Madsen's Sister Remembers Him As 'Mischief Wrapped In Tenderness'
Last Updated: Michael has been honoured by Candyman star Virginia, who paid tribute in a message posted on Instagram. Michael Madsen has been remembered as 'mischief wrapped in tenderness" by his actress sister, Virginia Madsen, following his shocking death. The 67-year-old actor was pronounced dead on Thursday after being found unresponsive at his home in Malibu, California with his manager Ron Smith telling that 'cardiac arrest" appeared to be the cause of death – and he has now been honoured by Candyman star Virginia, who paid tribute in a message posted on Instagram. She shared a picture of the siblings alongside their mother and wrote: 'My brother Michael has left the stage. He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother – etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth – but flesh and blood and ferocious heart." She added: 'Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes – gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable – half legend, half lullaby. I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend. I miss my big brother." Virginia went on to thank fans for their well wishes and explained a plan to 'celebrate" Michael's life will be revealed in due course. She added: 'Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life. But for now – we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't – Virginia Madsen on behalf of the Madsen family." Fellow screen star Sharon Stone shared her sorrow in the comments section, writing: 'My sincere condolences to you and your family." Actor Billy Baldwin paid tribute in a message posted on X, writing: 'Fitting that Michael Madsen would pass away on 4th of July weekend. He was no firecracker … a total stick of dynamite on screen and in life. Rest easy my friend." Walton Goggins, who appeared opposite Michael in Quentin Tarantino's 2015 movie The Hateful Eight, shared his thoughts on Instagram, writing: 'Michael Madsen … this man … this artist … this poet … this rascal …F****** ICON ….Aura like no one else. Ain't enough words so I'll just say this …. I love you buddy. A H8TER forever." In a post on X, Jennifer Tilly – who starred alongside the actor in 1994 movie The Getaway – wrote: 'Michael was one of my favorite actors I ever worked with. The Getaway was very early in my career and he made me feel safe and supported. He was wildly audacious and rambunctious with his character choices, and had a wicked sense of humor. I don't recall ever laughing so much on a film set in my life. A huge talent. Gone too soon. Rip Michael Madsen." First Published:

Michael Madsen Death: Actor 'Struggled To Maintain Sobriety, Lived A Life Of Regrets'
The late actor's lawyer made shocking revelations about his last years. Michael Madsen was reportedly struggling with alcohol addiction before his death. The 67-year-old actor was pronounced dead on Thursday after being found unresponsive at his Malibu home, with his manager, Ron Smith, telling that 'cardiac arrest" appeared to be the cause of death. And, Michael's lawyer Perry Wander, who represented him for 20 years, said the Kill Bill actor had 'struggled to maintain his sobriety". He told 'I just spoke to Michael two days ago. I knew he was not well.' Michael was suffering from the effects of alcoholism. He had multiple stints in and out of rehab. He struggled to maintain his sobriety. He was not happy about his life." The lawyer also claimed that Michael was locked in a legal battle with his estranged wife over child support and other finances. He said: 'I blame her for putting in the screws over his last years of life. Michael lived a life of regrets – those regrets being his two marriages." He added that the legal battle caused his passport to be 'maliciously revoked", which impacted his ability to travel and work abroad. Michael suffered a devastating loss in 2022 when his son Hudson took his own life at the age of 26. The star is survived by his five other children, Jessica, who he shared with Dana Mechling, Christian and Max, whose mother is Jeannine Bisignano and Luke and Kalvin, whose mom is Madsen's wife DeAnna Morgan. Madsen was married to Georganne LaPiere, half-sister of Cher, from 1984 to 1988. He went on to marry Bisignano from 1991 to 1995 before tying the knot with DeAnna in 1996 and welcoming Luke, Kalvin and Hudson together. The relationship had its ups and downs, and his death comes just 11 months after his domestic violence case, where he was accused of shoving DeAnna, was dismissed due to 'insufficient evidence". Madsen was best known for his work with director Quentin Tarantino, including classics such as 1992's Reservoir Dogs, 2004's Kill Bill: Volume 2, 2015's The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which was released in 2019.
