Karl Malden 1912- 2009



My sister V. will be crushed...

Oscar-winning Actor Karl Malden Dies At 97

True, Malden lived a good long life, but the recent rash of celebrity deaths is starting to get a little eerie.

Wow. Another one! You're right it was a nice long life. He did something right.

I enjoyed his work very much.

Let's hope this is the end of deaths for a time.

I am picturing Death wandering around, knocking people off, muttering about his upcoming vacation time...

Aw, I liked Karl Malden though.

Wow! I just read the news article - did you get the Gary, Indiana connection? Dede dede dede (insert twilight zone theme)

All the celeb deaths + the constant rain must mean the end is near.

cube - I didn't know about this until now. Like they say about
Morgan Freeman - the same about Karl Malden - 'a movie is always better when he is in it.'

Chuck said...

I liked Carl Malden

Ananda girl: I agree. I hope this is the end of this grisly celebrity death jag we've been on for the last month. There have been others I haven't mentioned like Fred Travolena and Gale Storm. Enough is enough.

Laura B.: I liked Malden too. He was a good actor.

crazy4coens: Mr. Cube also thought he died a long time ago. Most people did. The only reason I knew he was alive was because he was born on my sister's birthday and I 'tormented' her for years about it. I can't begin to explain it - it's just how our family flows.

Don't judge me unfairly!!!!

oh, I hadn't heard this. 97?? I can't believe he was that old...
That's very sad...he really was so good in everything he did.

cube said...

crazy4coen: Yeah, I caught the Gary, Indiana reference. It's a weird, weird world, isn't it?

Beckeye: You can't have the apocalypse without mammatus clouds filling the sky ... oh wait, nevermind.

Sue: I agree. Malden was a class act.

Chuck: Me too. He was in some great movies and, of course, the Streets of San Francisco.

cube said...

Z: He was a master at his craft. I'm weary of all the deaths recently and I, too, hope for a respite.

Z said...

cube, must came back to your site and saw the perfect CAT blog for this weekend and glanced at Spock's (I think that's Spock, I told you i've never watched on Star Trek!) picture below, just above this, and I froze .."Not HIM, too"! Thankfully..not! :-)

cube said...

Z: Yes, it is Spock but he's wearing a Jedi robe & holding a light saber from Star Wars. And thankfully it wasn't his obit.
