Eli Wallach, who was one of his generation’s most prominent and prolific character actors in film, onstage and on television for more than 60 years, died on Tuesday. He was 98.
I guess Enty woke up late and his shaking fingers couldn't change the lineup. RIP Eli, By aiding in establishing the Actor's Studio, you influenced generations of actors. Thank You..
Just remember, that Elmer Bernstein, who wrote that theme, also wrote the music for the second worst movie of all time, the unforgettable, Robot Monster!
Married to Anne Jackson who was no slouch in the acting dept either. An Icon in the acting world, truly. He was in something in the last 5 yrs I believe. Very frail but always an amazing actor.
No offence but how about a lil more meat on the bone whilst writing about the dearly departed. SURE we could Google, but why not list a few of the actors films etc. its more respectful than "HE DIED...HE WAS AN ACTOR, SO MOURN...THERE...I MENTIONED HIM." kinda comes off like that.
If you haven't seen him in The Holiday you missed one of his cutest performances. He wasn't really known as a comedic actor, but he certainly pulled it off in this movie.
It warms my heart when an announcement of this nature truly reflects the timely ending of a life well-lived. With all of the celebrities who can't treat another human being decently, battle demons, squander their talents,...it is refreshing to know that Eli Wallach knew how to count his blessings. He has left a legacy both on screen and off and is one of the few people who has left his world better than he found it.

The guy was in The Godfather for crying out loud. Can't be much more iconic than that.
ReplyDeleteRIP
Nice career, nice life.
ReplyDeleteHe was in The Magnificent Seven; one of the best films ever.
ReplyDeleteNow I have that theme song bouncing through my head, Sass.

SHEESH...Rip Eli
^^^^ What she said! Well put, Fancy.
DeleteHe was so awesome in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and The Magnificent Seven.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great work! RIP.
Didn't need to Google Eli Wallach. I just saw him in The Misfits.
ReplyDeleteFarewell, Tuco. I so loved your character.
ReplyDeleteLoved him in "The Misfits" and "Baby Doll".
ReplyDeleteWhat a career.
I suspect I'm one of the few who first thinks of his hilarious performance as Davis Leland in "How to Steal a Million." (1966)

Oh I so loved him on The Holiday... With Jude Law and Cameron Diaz.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't seen him in The Holiday you missed one of his cutest performances. He wasn't really known as a comedic actor, but he certainly pulled it off in this movie.
ReplyDeleteRIP -- one of my favorites.
Stars always have so much crap on their walls.....
ReplyDeleteOh I loved him in The Holiday, what a wee doll! Sad times.
ReplyDeleteCheck him out in Don Siegel's The Lineup (1958). Great actor.
ReplyDeleteMarried, apparently happily, for 65 years to Anne Jackson. Most actors only reach that number by adding up all their wives.
ReplyDeleteTopper M - I also loved him in How To Steal a Million. So there are at least two of us out there.
RIP
Just watched EW as the (hot!) and sleazy ranch owner who tries to seduce the virgin in "Baby Doll."
ReplyDeleteHe was good in everything he ever did. RIP.
