Canadian Paul 97 Posted May 12, 2007 Well, some say he's doing poorly, others say he'll be around for fall 2008. It'll probably be more useful news when they tell him, and whether he accepts or declines the chance to receive the award in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted October 9, 2007 A little while back I posted about how Widmark's old friend Karl Malden was out & about getting coffee. I am now going to top this rather auspicious posting by revealing that Widmark is still active, if only in the art of ordering & eating fudge, if nothing else. All that fudge can't be good for the arteries can it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted March 26, 2008 It's now five in the books and it's looking more like spring everyday here in New York! Beautiful. 65 films made in over five decades. His first film was 'Kiss of Death' (1947) He played a psychopathic killer and tied up an elderly woman with a cord ripped from a lamp and threw her down a flight of stairs.

Well that's the tagline written... It's also another hit (a 9th!) for Mr Godot and his waiting list, which puts him top of the heap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadtowrites 2 Posted March 26, 2008 It's now five in the books and it's looking more like spring everyday here in New York! Beautiful. Out of interest, what was your reaction on hearing this piece of news? Are you now satiated? Did you perchance jilt backwards and maybe, say, pump you're (sic) fists towards you're (ditto) chest? Did you allow yourself to be involved with practices or habits or addictions that you shouldn't be associated with (bishop bashing perhaps?)? Did you tell you're (habitual fault) husband what just happened, did he refuse to speak with you? Did you start saying explicit sh*t out of excitement and then after 90 seconds come back to earth? Finally how was it for you? I mean the quality and expectancy of this death? Perhaps you reacted with a short, slow nod. Almost grinning, though of course you don't go all the way. Just curious like.

Windsor 2,235 Posted March 26, 2008 Richard Widmark is the 5th success of 2008. He is the 165th since 1987. The 2008 list is now in 15th place, shared with 1992 and 1993, out of a possible 22 lists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted March 26, 2008 Someone mentioned Kiss of Death as the tagline, but Death of a Gunfighter isn't bad either. Personally, a great shame. As I mentioned before, he was one of my favourite living actors & one of the true stars of the past. But, looking at it objectively, 93 is a good innings, he had stopped making any films & I have plenty of DVD's with him in to remember him by. Well done to Deathlist & all those who chose him on DP's. How bizarre (but these things often happen) that Abby Mann should die 24 hours later, when they both worked on the same film! (Judgement At Nuremberg - Damn fine film, by the way) Looks like all that fudge got him in the end... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoid Harry 23 Posted July 23, 2008 I've noticed that we have yet to be credited with Widmark on the DDP, am I missing something? We need to check the rest, I just haven't the time what with moving and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted July 23, 2008 I've noticed that we have yet to be credited with Widmark on the DDP, am I missing something? We need to check the rest, I just haven't the time what with moving and all. Yes - Widmark wasn't entered by DL on the DDP, that's why. I can hardly give DL credit for people they DIDN'T pick, now, can I? Ironically, a few of the DL dead this year weren't picked as the DDP team - the 19 (19, of course, because DL inexpiciably picked Frankie Laine & then submitted it, without noticing in time) chosen were; Ronnie Biggs Fidel Castro Arthur C Clarke Fats Domino Kirk Douglas W. Mark Felt Michael Foot Zsa Zsa Gabor Charlton Heston Albert Hofmann Claude Lévi-Strauss Herbert Lom Karl Malden Oscar Niemeyer Chapman Pincher Sydney Pollack Yitzhak Shamir Alexander Solzhenitsyn Eli Wallach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
