    I guess Enty woke up late and his shaking fingers couldn't change the lineup.
    RIP Eli, By aiding in establishing the Actor's Studio, you influenced generations of actors.
    Thank You..

    The guy was in The Godfather for crying out loud. Can't be much more iconic than that.
    RIP

      Now I have that theme song bouncing through my head, Sass.

      Just remember, that Elmer Bernstein, who wrote that theme, also wrote the music for the second worst movie of all time, the unforgettable, Robot Monster!

    Married to Anne Jackson who was no slouch in the acting dept either. An Icon in the acting world, truly.
    He was in something in the last 5 yrs I believe. Very frail but always an amazing actor.

    Enties...

    No offence but how about a lil more meat on the bone whilst writing about the dearly departed. SURE we could Google, but why not list a few of the actors films etc. its more respectful than "HE DIED...HE WAS AN ACTOR, SO MOURN...THERE...I MENTIONED HIM." kinda comes off like that.

    SHEESH...Rip Eli

    I suspect I'm one of the few who first thinks of his hilarious performance as Davis Leland in "How to Steal a Million." (1966)

    If you haven't seen him in The Holiday you missed one of his cutest performances. He wasn't really known as a comedic actor, but he certainly pulled it off in this movie.

    RIP -- one of my favorites.

    Check him out in Don Siegel's The Lineup (1958). Great actor.

    Married, apparently happily, for 65 years to Anne Jackson. Most actors only reach that number by adding up all their wives.

    Topper M - I also loved him in How To Steal a Million. So there are at least two of us out there.

    RIP

    Just watched EW as the (hot!) and sleazy ranch owner who tries to seduce the virgin in "Baby Doll."

    He was good in everything he ever did. RIP.

    It warms my heart when an announcement of this nature truly reflects the timely ending of a life well-lived. With all of the celebrities who can't treat another human being decently, battle demons, squander their talents,...it is refreshing to know that Eli Wallach knew how to count his blessings. He has left a legacy both on screen and off and is one of the few people who has left his world better than he found it.
