Oh, and I caught "A Streetcar Named Desire" a few months ago on television, and loved seeing it again. I've always been a fan of Vivien Leigh...but that entire cast was STELLLLLAAARRRRRRRR.

RIP Karl

Malden's family informed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences of his death on Wednesday. Malden served as the academy's president from 1989-92.

He made his screen debut in the 1940 movie "They Knew What They Wanted," and was praised for his role as Mitch in the 1951 classic "A Streetcar Named Desire."

His greatest fame came as Detective Mike Stone in the 1970s TV series "The Streets of San Francisco," in which he co-starred with Michael Douglas.

Malden also was a pitchman for American Express in a series of commercials airing over 21 years.

I always thought he had a funny nose. But I was fine with it.

I guess you got it on your news feed before I did.

Clodfobble · 07-01-2009, 06:50 PM

So, does that mean you had a constant news feed telling you that Karl Malden was still alive... or you just immediately contradicted Sheldon for no reason other than you hadn't heard it yet, so it must not be true?

Shawnee123 · 07-01-2009, 06:53 PM

Yeah...I wondered too.

My news feed was cnn.com.

No!

She didn't even feature on my Death List.
Not being selfish, just expressing surprise.

She outlived Miss Brahms though. Who'da thunk it?

diminished · 07-04-2009, 09:17 PM

Persistence and I are just trying to work out if there is any of the cast of "Are you being served?" left alive?

Edit:Just checked the article,Frank Thorne is still alive,thought I read he'd died about 4 years ago.
