Deliverance 'Squeal Like a Pig' Actor Bill McKinney Dies at 80
Actor Bill McKinney, who played one of the “Squeal like a pig” mountain men in Deliverance, died today in Los Angeles at the age of 80. According to a statement on his Facebook page, McKinney was “an avid smoker for 25 years of his younger life, [who] died of cancer of the esophagus. He was 80 and still strong enough to have filmed a Doritos commercial 2 weeks prior to his passing, and he continued to work on his biography with his writing partner.”
The post says the family is looking for a publisher to help put out the book in the wake of McKinney’s passing.
