RON SILVER DEAD<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>By DAVID K. LI<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMarch 15, 2009<\/em>\u00a0–Actor and longtime political activist Ron Silver died Sunday morning, succumbing to a long battle with cancer, friends of the liberal Democrat-turned-GOP stalwart told The Post.<\/p>\n

“Ron Silver died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him this morning,” said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition, which Silver helped create.<\/p>\n

“He had been fighting esophageal cancer for two years and his family is making arrangements for a private service.”<\/p>\n

Friends of Silver first told Post columnist Cindy Adams of the native New Yorker’s death.<\/p>\n

The steely-eyed, blunt-talking Silver, 62, enjoyed a long career on the stage, TV and in movies, and most recently hosted a public affairs talk show on Sirius satellite radio.<\/p>\n

Silver might be best known for playing legal scholar Alan Dershowitz in “Reversal of Fortune,” about the successful appeal of Claus von Bulow’s conviction for putting his socialite wife into a permanent coma.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
