Karl Malden dies

LinkOne of the great character actors.

Dammit! This has to stop! Enough famous actors dying already.

I had no idea he was that old!

I had no idea he was still alive. “The Streets of San Francisco” was quite some time ago and he didn’t exactly look like a spring chicken then.

RIP Lt. Stone.

Ok this one isn’t THAT bad.

Dude was 97.

The nose has flown! I wonder if he took his American Express card?

RIP Herbie!

Ah shit, one of my all-time favorite actors. Definitely one of the two or three greatest character actors of the 20th century. I saw him in Cincinnatti Kid just last week.

Rest well, Karl, while we have your movies you’ll always be alive for us.

Well, this should put an end to the media circus surrounding the death of Billy Mays.

That’s exactly what I was going to post, dammit!

No, that’s just when you’re leaving home. He’s going home.

I am more amazed that his wife is still alive and that they just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary last December.

RIP Karl

I know he was 97 but it must make him mad that he missed 100.

From Wikipedia:

Wow 70 1/2 years with the same woman.

I will always remember his fine job as th courageous priest in "On The Wterfront.
Karl, say hello to Marlon and Martin, and have a drink with Elia! There’s gonna be a big party in Heaven, tonight!:wink:

RIP And thanks for the AQMP* memories.

similar to his gravedigger’s shovel: “Never heave loam without it.”

Awww, he was one of the most versatile guys around. Most of my fave actors are character actors; wish I could have seen him onstage. I’ll never forget ON THE WATERFRONT; found him more interesting to watch than Marlon.

And I’ve discovered a Hollywood marriage longer lasting than Jane Wyatt’s, whose husband Edgar died in 2000 one day before their 65th anniversary.

Wow. He got married before either of my parents was born. Before one of them was even conceived.

This reminds of the time I was buying a book by someone who had just died.

*Cashier #1 - Hey, didn’t this guy just die recently.
Me - Yeah, I think so.
Cashier #1 - Man, a lot of people died this year.
Cashier #2 - Duh!

::laughter::

Cashier #1 - I mean a lot of famous people died this year.
Cashier #2 - Duh!*

You know, after Billy Mays died, I was thinking we were coming up on another celebrity trifecta…I wonder who’ll be next?
