maddin 0 Posted February 28, 2005 What about Richard Widmark - Is he healthy or a candidate for the list? Any actual news from his person? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted March 1, 2005 Until you mentioned him I had thought he was dead but apparently not. It seems it was one of his wives that was dead and he is said to have remarried in 1999. Born in 1914 he is definitely edging up the ladder to the jump-off platform. No idea though on his health. One other note, if you feed him undercooked oatmeal he will strap you into a wheelchair and give it a shove down a very steep flight of stairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,100 Posted March 1, 2005 Maddin, who is on your avatar? Looks like that bloke that was in The High Chaperal....Lief Erikson (maybe?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddin 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Maddin, who is on your avatar? Looks like that bloke that was in The High Chaperal....Lief Erikson (maybe?) It is the same person which "One Man Jury" has on his avatar - maybe you find out :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted March 1, 2005 Looks to me like Jack Palance. Here (hopefully) is a link. http://www.fametracker.com/2_stars_1_slot/...ce_coburn.shtml And yeah he was in One Man Jury. Also remembered for his one arm pushup on stage at the Academy Awards a few years ago. (Or was it some other award show?). Born in 1919 he used to be a boxer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddin 0 Posted March 1, 2005 the answer of the riddle.... you are right. It is Mr. Palance. and... it was the Academy Awards he showed his one arm pushup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddin 0 Posted July 31, 2005 I suggest Mr Widmark for the list 2006 he was born 1914... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted July 31, 2005 I suggest Mr Widmark for the list 2006 he was born 1914... Richard Widmark. Sure. Also bringing up the subject on possible canidates how about Jack Palence? He's getting up there with his age and not only was he a good actor but he would make a great deathlist canidate. O and also just to mention what has happened to One Man Jury?

maddin 0 Posted July 31, 2005 according to his age - Palance may be a candidate too. Palance, Widmark, Malden, Wallach, Borgnie.... alle the good old movie heros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted July 31, 2005 according to his age - Palance may be a candidate too. Palance, Widmark, Malden, Wallach, Borgnie.... alle the good old movie heros Also let's not forget about the 100 year old Charles Lane Who will be 101 in January of next year. It's just i have always enjoyed his type of roll when he acted. He never had a major part though he appeared in over 100 films in his acting career. As he said\He thought after a while that people started to think of him as somewhat of an old friend after appearing in so many films. Probobly starting in the 20's and then into the 1990's. If he's alive in 2006 i'll see him in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted August 2, 2005 according to his age - Palance may be a candidate too. Palance, Widmark, Malden, Wallach, Borgnie.... alle the good old movie heros Maddin you live!

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) Richard Widmark, an excellent possible choice for '07 So popular he has another thread here, http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?...richard+widmark Could they please be merged.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 3, 2006 Richard Widmark I've always thought looked pretty healthy for his age and, as far as I know, has no known health problems. Feel free to correct me if someone knows differentely. He's a little before my time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted February 4, 2006 Richard Widmark I've always thought looked pretty healthy for his age and, as far as I know, has no known health problems. Feel free to correct me if someone knows differentely. He's a little before my time. I agree with you, disagree with Tempus (as an excellent choice). Widmark is on my "DDP list" (to clarify - this is about 200 people of fame, to be high up is top 40, so being on the list itself isn't much in a sense) but he's way down it - bout 150, I think. Still visits premieres, no health concerns recently, he was always quite a strong, fit man so I have no doubt that helps now, I think that despite his age, he is quite good for probably two or three years yet, maybe more, who knows? One of my favourite living actors, by the way, not least as he's one of the last survivors of what I and many others term "The Golden Age." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know I'm still a little sane, to go along with what I said in the Heston thread. Any movies to recommend? Not for DL purposes really, just curious I suppose.

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted February 4, 2006 Any movies to recommend? Not for DL purposes really, just curious I suppose. Well, I'm a James Stewart fan, so the ones I enjoy are perhaps those when Stewart & Widmark collaborated. He has appeared in a number of flops - ie National Lampoon Goes To The Movies but good ones that he is in or star of: Kiss of Death (Oscar Nominated) Judgement at Nuremberg Night And The City The Bedford Incident Yellow Sky The Street With No Name The Jimmy ones are not his best but How The West Was Won is probably the best of them - Cheyenne Autumn is a bit too long , Two Rode Together is alright but hasn't aged well, I don't think. I quite liked Madigan & I personally thought Death of a Gunfighter was excellent, but generally, some regard it as hit & miss. His IMDb entry is quite extensive but he's largely retired now. In some cases, it seems "retired" doesn't mean "death imminent" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted October 8, 2006 A big shout for actor Richard Widmark - I believe he's just passed his 90th (a few days ago) so certainly old enough to be 'on his way' and the triple celebration of birthday, Xmas and new year might just be enough to nudge him over No way, he's gonna outlive us all!

Canadian Paul 97 Posted October 28, 2006 Since this thread has been revived anyhow, I'd like to make a quick link to an old post from OoO that claimed that Widmark was doing poorly as of late. I wouldn't my unbridled optimism from earlier in this thread to come back and bite me in the ass - I think he'd make a good candidate for DL '07 (and an interesting one too...)
