Patrick Stewart, Star Trek's Captain Picard and X-Men's Professor X, dies at 86
The British actor, a classically trained Shakespearean who became a pop culture icon as Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, died at his home in Los Angeles after battling Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia, his family said.
Sir Patrick Stewart, the Shakespearean actor who became a pop culture icon as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and Professor Charles Xavier in the "X-Men" films, has died. He was 86.
"We announce with great sorrow the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart yesterday at his home in Los Angeles," his family said in a statement shared by spokeswoman Kelly Bush Novak, adding that he died after a "brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia."
In lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Fund and to caregiver resources at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.
From the Royal Shakespeare Company to the bridge of the Enterprise
Born July 13, 1940, in Mirfield, in England's Yorkshire, Stewart spent years with the Royal Shakespeare Company before being cast as Picard in 1987. "The Next Generation" ran for seven seasons and spawned four feature films, and he reprised the role in Paramount+'s "Star Trek: Picard" from 2020 to 2023.
Fans will see him a ninth time as Professor X
Beginning with 2000's "X-Men," Stewart played Charles Xavier in eight films. His ninth and final on-screen appearance will be his return to the role in Marvel's "Avengers: Doomsday," due in theaters in December.
Knighted in 2010 for services to drama, Stewart earned Emmy nominations for "Moby Dick," "The Lion in Winter," "Extras" and "Hamlet" and a Tony nomination for "Macbeth." He married singer-songwriter Sunny Ozell in 2013 and is survived by two children.
