RIP.

I wonder just how many on this site actually have seen one of his films, let alone know who he is.

RIP Tony..(Don't worry, not too many people remember you and Lawrence Olivier in the bath scene in Spartacus... I think that was the prequel to Brokeback Mountain)

[Brenda]

He's Jamie Lee Curtis' dad

RIP...

Some of us are old enough to know film. I loved him in The Boston Strangler; my favourite performance of his, for sure. And Janet Leigh...what a dish! RIP

Sorry to see him go.

When you throw out all the fluff movies he made in the sixties he was a good actor who had some great roles interspersed with ones he was completely unsuited for. The Vikings and Taras Bulba come to mind.

Aside from the Boston Stangler his greates role and my personal favorite was the Defiant Ones.

RIP

I hope Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't die anytime soon.

[johnmcclane]

Ohhhh, S-, I take that back. Houdini was a movie that had profound affects on me.

RIP man

Yeah, he wasn't a very convincing Viking, not when he was along side Kirk Douglas at any rate. I don't recal ever seeing Taras Bulba, strange considering I always liked Yul Brynner movies, might have to see if I can find a copy and watch it.

Bernie was good in both. I read the book, as well as the Classics illustrated version of Taras Bulba, before seeing the movie(I'm sorry but yul looks more like a Mongol warrior than a Cossack in this movie).

That's how I got into reading the classics at an early age, my grandmother collected Classics Illustrated for her students, and after she retired she gave them all to me when I was about 7. Then some idiot(a card carryinbg Liberal...no more needs to be said), who thought Harlequin romances were the end all and be all of English literature, thought they were taking up space and took them to the dump and burned them I was able to restore my collection...mostly...over the years by visiting used book stores and garage sales.

I almost lost my savage Sword of Conan collection(starting with issue 1) to the same stupidity a few years ago. I had to say, my house, my basement, my shit, my space. You'll be gone before they are. I've lost thousands of dollars in books, and years spent collecting becausre of this ignorance..'They're old throw them out. Why do you need to buy and keep old books and comics?

Loved Taras Bulba!

Ouch!
I'm thinking after the first event said ignorant one would have been down the road. (Carrying the Harlequin Romances in an uncomfortable place... )
