Al Ruddy passed away on May 25 at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center after a brief illness, a family spokesman said.
Some of Ruddy's former co-stars and Hollywood colleagues such as Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino and Hilary Swank have shared tributes.
The Offer director Dexter Fletcher said in a statement: "Al was truly one of the great Hollywood maverick. One of the last Mohicans who created great movies which still influence and inspire to this day.
"From humble beginnings to the highest of Hollywood accolades. His was an incredible journey. Achieved through the sheer power of his determination, strong will, irrepressible energy and charm and a rarely matched love for the art of film."
Teller said in a statement: "It was an honor and a privilege to portray Al in The Offer. Al lived a life most could only dream of and all would envy."
"He was a great friend of mine and I will deeply miss him," Eastwood said in a statement Tuesday.
Swank added: "It was the best of times working with [Al]. He will always be a legend in my and everyone's book."
Pacino reflected: "Al Ruddy was absolutely beautiful to me the whole time on The Godfather; even when they didn't want me, he wanted me. He gave me the gift of encouragement when I needed it most and I'll never forget it."
