Donald Sutherland -- a legend in Hollywood -- has died ... this according to his talent agency and his family.

The actor -- who was best known for appearing in classics like "The Dirty Dozen," "M*A*S*H," "Animal House," "Hunger Games" and many, many other films -- passed away Thursday in Miami, Florida after a long illness ... something CAA announced.

No cause of death was shared, and the exact details of his passing weren't disclosed either.

Jonathan Majors is set to take on the lead in a new supernatural revenge thriller -- marking his official return to the screen after his assault trial, in which he was convicted.

The actor will play the role of a CIA interrogator -- whose sanity takes a perilous dive as he grapples with malevolent forces threatening the woman he loves. The movie doesn't have a major studio attached to produce or distribute ... for now, it's just an indie flick.

Despite his legal woes, JM's got some serious backup on this project -- it'll be directed by Martin Villeneuve, the younger brother of Oscar-nominated director Denis Villeneuve ... something sources connected to Jon have confirmed to TMZ.

While talking about the whole ordeal with pals -- she says she didn't think studios would take her seriously at first ... but now, she's apparently getting flooded with acting opportunities.

American actor Michael Beck was 30 years old when he played Swan -- the smart and dreamy gang leader living in Coney Island, Brooklyn -- in the action/thriller film "The Warriors" back in 1979.

This whole back-and-forth went down on Kate's IG comments this week -- long story short ... she threw up some clips of herself partaking in a variety of activities, and of course ... she was wearing her signature oversized bow, a look she's been rocking for a few years now.

Par for the course ... social media folks were quick to clown Kate about the bow -- telling her quite plainly to "take that ridiculous bow off" ... among other mean comments/requests.

Christina Ricci is unloading her Los Angeles area home -- and she's aiming to double her earnings with the price tag.
