Actor Karl Malden Dies
Actor Karl Malden who starred along with Marlon Brando in The Waterfront and Michael Douglas in The Streets of San Francisco has passed away at the age of 97 of natural causes. Many of us may remember him telling us not to leave home without an American Express card in a series of 1980s TV commercials.
Malden was known for his tough guy attitude and having a crooked nose, he won a Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Mitch in 1951’s A Streetcar Named Desire.
Malden also stared in a handful of movies including Baby Doll (1956), Fear Strikes Out (1957), Pollyanna (1960), Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), Gypsy (1962), How the West Was Won (1962), The Cincinnatti Kid (1965) and Patton
He is survived by his wife Nona, and daughters Mila and Cara. Michael Douglas had these kind words to say about the late actor:
“It was Karl more than anyone who got me to understand that an actor is just one part of a whole team that makes a TV series or a movie work. And thanks to him, I learned about the dichotomy of standing alone in a craft where one must collaborate.”
