Default Jack Palance dies

85 according to Associated Press records, family says he was 87. All I know is that he was a classic.

One of the first great character actors and a legitimate tough guy. He usually played the heavy or the villian, but really shone in the first city slicker as a hard edge cynical man, who had a simple philosophy on life.

One of my favorite moments was seeing an aged Jack Palace doing one armed pushups on the stage of the Oscars (I think)

He crapped bigger than Billy Crystal.

Seems like we did a dead pool thread on here a while ago. I thought he was one of the guys listed.

I'm with the crowd that thought he was dead. Was a great actor.

Very sad. I'm a fan of classic movies. Mr. Palance was a wonderful actor. He had a voice that made you have to listen to him when he spoke.
