Another One Gone: Karl Malden Dead at 97

I loved this guy. Here he is in one of his best movie roles, On the Waterfront. I missed the news yesterday.

Oscar winner Karl Malden, the bulbous-nosed character actor acclaimed for film roles in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront" before gaining TV fame as a leading man in "The Streets of San Francisco," died on Wednesday at age 97.

Also remembered as the commercial spokesman for American Express travelers checks, sternly warning tourists, "Don't leave home without them," Malden died in his sleep at his Los Angeles-area home, according to his longtime agent, Budd Moss. He said the actor had been in failing health in recent years.

In a career spanning seven decades, Malden made his mark playing plain-spoken men of gruff manners, though he was noted for bringing an understated, natural dignity to many roles.

    Mr. Karl Malden was truly one of our own. I loved his role in "PATTON"
    may he be forever in Gods hands.
    Rest in Peace!

    I loved him in Streetcar Named Desire. I feel he was underrated.

  • Almost forgot his roll as Bradley in Patton. Great roll. I always loved the line when he says to Patton:

    "There's one big difference between you and me, George. I do this job because I've been trained to do it. You do it because you LOVE it."

    Can anyone picture this script in a Hollywood movie today? That is a very sad thing to consider.
