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.
A long & fruitful life! Probably best remembered for his American Express TV commercials, (āDonāt leave home without itā) and his role co-starring with a very young Michael Douglas in the TV series, āStreets 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 āThe Cincinnati Kidā with Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Ann Margaret, Tuesday Weld & Joan Blondell a couple of days ago. I canāt even remember all the great films he was in that Iāve seen, but there have been many. āBirdman Of Alcatrazā, āPattonā, āOn the Waterfrontā, A Streetcar Named Desire", āHow The West Was Wonā, āBaby Dollā; the list goes on & on.
A good sense of humor too . . . He was quoted as saying, āThis nose ought to qualify me for handicapped parking.ā :smileyvery-happy:
