LOS ANGELES — Bill Paxton, the prolific and charismatic actor whose many memorable roles included an astronaut in "Apollo 13" and a treasure hunter in "Titanic," has died from complications due to surgery. Paxton, a Fort Worth, Texas, native, appeared in dozens of movies and television shows and seemed to be around when history was made both on and off screen. Paxton's movie credits included some of the signature works of the past 40 years, from "Titanic" and "Apollo 13" to "The Terminator and "Aliens." He was, sci-fi fans like to point out, the only actor killed by a Predator, a Terminator and an Alien. "And all I can tell you is, thank God for Turner Classic Movies and Robert Osborn. "
