Title: Carl Malden passed away.
Post by: twyacht on July 01, 2009, 09:25:01 PM
Son of a milkman, and a nose no one will forget. Carl Malden played a role in a movie that is one of our favorites.
On the Waterfront, Streetcar Named Desire, Patton,
He passed away at 97, and he was married for 70 years to his loving wife.
Hell, married for 70 years? That deserves admiration and respect.
RIP. This has been a tough month.

I'm sorry to see him go too. He was a great actor. I remember his American Express commercials that tied into his role on the show "The Streets of San Francisco". Does anyone remember his co-star in that show?

Beat me to it, the tribute had one shot of the two of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Malden From the Link : He eventually traveled to New York City, and first appeared as an actor on Broadway in 1937. He did some radio work and in a small role made his film debut in They Knew What They Wanted. He also joined the Group Theatre, where he began acting in many plays and was introduced to a young Elia Kazan, who would later work with him on A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and On the Waterfront (1954).
His acting career was interrupted by World War II, during which he served as a noncommissioned officer in the 8th Air Force. While in the service, he was given a small role in the U.S. Army Air Forces play and film Winged Victory. After the war ended in 1945, he resumed his acting career, playing yet another small supporting role in the Maxwell Anderson play Truckline Cafe, with a then-unknown Marlon Brando. He was given a co-starring role in the Arthur Miller play All My Sons with the help of director Elia Kazan. With that success, he then crossed over into steady film work.
