Oy! Fantastic in Pickup on South Street. Honestly, I thought he was already gone.

Honestly, I would have also assumed he was already dead but I watched a lot of his films late last year and happened to check him IMDB page. Not many actors from his era are still around. I actually haven't seen Pickup yet, I might try and watch it tonight.

Damn, this guy had a lot of great roles.

Panic in the Streets
Night and the City
Judgment at Nuremberg
Murder on the Orient Express

Damn classic cinema stars and their posthumous deaths!

[SirNewt]

Damn classic cinema stars and their posthumous deaths!

If only they'd physically die as soon as they faded from public consciousness we wouldn't have to deal with this.

[Grouchy]

They're dying like fucking rabbits! Guess I phrased that the other way around.

That's too bad, he was a wonderful actor. At 90-something, though, he sure had a helluva life.

[Marley]

Damn it.

I guess Kirk Douglas is next.

[Yxklyx]

Damn it.

I guess Kirk Douglas is next.

Wow, he's 92!

Sorry to hear that Widmark died. There are not many left. Farley Granger is still around.

[Marley]

Jennifer Jones is still alive!

[Philosophe_rouge]

Wow, I would NEVER have guessed Jennifer Jones was alive... her life was insane. Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland are also living, good genes.

[MadMan]

I actually found out he passed away when TCM showed a tribute to him inbetween movie showings. Twilight of the idols indeed. RIP.
