Chaim Topol, a leading Israeli actor who charmed generations of theatergoers and movie-watchers with his portrayal of Tevye, the long-suffering and charismatic milkman in Fiddler on the Roof, has died at 87 in Tel Aviv, Israeli leaders said Thursday.
The cause was not immediately released, as Topol had battled Alzheimer's disease for years.
A recipient of two Golden Globe awards and nominee for both an Academy Award and a Tony Award, Topol long has ranked among Israel's most decorated actors. Among his roles, he starred as James Bond's foil-turned-ally Milos Columbo in For Your Eyes Only alongside Roger Moore.
More recently in 2015, he was celebrated for his contributions to film and culture with the Israel Prize for lifetime achievement, his country´s most prestigious honor.
