Poor Woody

Woody Harrelson is a loveable actor with a low-profile manner so you'd never guess that his life was marked by harsh troubles with his father.

The actor was just 7 when his father was first sent to prison, for murdering a Texas businessman. He was in college when his father was convicted of the judge's assassination.

And now Charles Harrelson has died of a heart attack in the Supermax federal prison where he was serving two life sentences for that murder.

This is the first glimpse the world is really getting of the situation with Woody's father. In an era of 30-day rehab fixes and actors claiming emotional distress over a break-up (of their two week relationship), it makes you wonder what they would be like if they had real problems to contend with. But maybe we shouldn't even go there...
