A tremendous shame - I always enjoyed his movies - one of the last of a fast dwindling era. Many memories of the man but I always liked his turn in Cheyenne Autumn.
So, a sad day, not least because dear old Mollie Sugden has gone too, but 97 isn't a bad age.
Phew.. looks like a big update for the DDP tomorrow then!

Interesting to see that:
1) He was born in Gary, Indiana, just like Michael Jackson
2) He died exactly 5 years after his co-star in "On The Waterfront", Marlon Brando...

According to the LA Times article, he was born in Chicago, and only moved to Gary, Indiana, when 5.
Interestingly, I notice that his website is under construction, with an update due 2009. Wont be much to update now!

A sad day indeed, how much press will they get with all the Jackson crap? Not much I fear.
There's more than one way to skin a cat, but I find a big sharp knife works best!

"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)

He was a brilliant actor, probably remember him best from Streetcar or Gypsy. Sad that he didn't get wider recognition... mentioned it to my wife today and she was like "Who's that". Yet when the BBC reported Mollie Sugden had died she was narking on about it for ages.... argh women
