Jeez, what's going on? I don't ever remember this many losses in quite so short a time. Mooshki's right, Death needs to take a holiday.

I note he was married to his first and only wife for seventy years. One of the few stars about whom I've never heard a breath of scandal but heard many warm accolades.

AW. Karl Malden was a class act.

He was also phenomenal in On the Waterfront, again with Brando.

His wife survives him, they were married 70 years!

: ( .. Sadness. I remember Karl from movies, Streets of San Francisco .. with Michael Douglas AND Richard Hatch .. but mostly the moment I heard Karl had passed .. I thought "American Express .. don't leave home without it!"

Godspeed, Karl! We'll remember you through your amazing body of work!!

The actress who played Mrs Slocombe on Are You Being Served is also dead. I agree with Mooshki, Death, move along now, nothing to see here.

I'm with Sporky - I thought he passed away years ago. 97. Good for him - he led a life well-lived.

Loved him in Streetcar and Gypsie, but I don't think he ever gave a bad performance. What a great actor. I didn't realize he was 97.

2009-07-01T15:31:42.018-07:00

-"Didn't you stay at a hotel called the Flamingo?"
-"Flamingo? Nooo - Tarantula was the name of it - I stayed at a hotel called the Tarantula Arms!"

The best and most revealing scene both of their characters in Streetcar - just him + Viv.

I just had to - I'm a total Streetcar Dork!!

Thanks AnnMarie!!

Loved him Streetcar Named Desire. 97 isn't so bad!

2009-07-01T14:34:28.749-07:00

I had no idea he was that old! Well, what more can anyone ask for? A good career, respect, (hopefully a good family life), living to 97? Pretty good.

2009-07-01T13:54:28.527-07:00

I'll always remember him for his "Don't leave home without it." AmEx commercials. They must have shown those ads all the time from their prevalence in my childhood memories.

He was one of the best actors. He lived a good long old age.
