The news was confirmed by his son, “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr.
On Instagram, the 56-year-old seasoned actor-producer said that his dad passed “peacefully” in his sleep after years of enduring the “ravages of Parkinson’s.”
“…he was a true maverick filmmaker, and remained remarkably optimistic throughout..According to my stepmoms calculations, they were happily married for just over 2000 years,” he said. “Rosemary Rogers-Downey, you are a saint, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.”
Hollywood stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeremy Renner, Clark Gregg, Sean Hayes, among others, extended their condolences.
