Jack Palance is dead!

[Captain Beard]

Jack Palance, famed for roles in the westerns Shane and Sudden Fear, and an Oscar-winning self-parody in City Slickers, died yesterday aged 87 at home in California. A Pennsylvania miner's son, Palance brought a brooding intensity and powerful physicality to the screen.
He was decorated in world war two and fought as a heavyweight boxing pro under the name Jack Brazzo.
In films he was primarily a villain, and turned to comedy in City Slickers at age 70; at the Oscar ceremony he went down in history when, instead of a speech, he dropped to the stage and did one-arm press-ups.



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

He was one hell of a "Count Dracula" back in the 70's. It's rare but worth looking for, if you dig that stuff. Right up there in Christopher Lee territory.

Tango and Cash is awesome, indeed.
