Another One Bites The Dust!

Wow . . . that brings the total up to 6 now in the past couple of weeks!

Karl Malden, veteren Acadamy Award actor died at age 97. :cry:

A long & fruitful life! Probably best remembered for his American Express TV commercials, (ā€œDon’t leave home without itā€) and his role co-starring with a very young Michael Douglas in the TV series, ā€œStreets Of San Franciscoā€,Ā Karl also had over 50 big screen films to his credit as well. A **bleep** fine actor! Just saw him in ā€œThe Cincinnati Kidā€ with Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Ann Margaret, Tuesday Weld & Joan Blondell a couple of days ago. I can’t even remember all the great films he was in that I’ve seen, but there have been many. ā€œBirdman Of Alcatrazā€, ā€œPattonā€, ā€œOn the Waterfrontā€, A Streetcar Named Desire", ā€œHow The West Was Wonā€, ā€œBaby Dollā€; the list goes on & on.

A good sense of humor too . . . He was quoted as saying, ā€œThis nose ought to qualify me for handicapped parking.ā€ :smileyvery-happy:
