Reply #238: Karl Malden dies, aged 97.

[Matilda]

He is such a regular on reruns of old TV series, as well as on old movies, that I had an image of him as a perpetual
50-something. I was astonished to find out how old he was.

"Oscar-winning actor Karl Malden, known for his distinctive nose and roles opposite Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and On The Waterfront, has died. He was 97.

Malden's passing was announced on Wednesday by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), where he served as president from 1989 to 1992.

A statement distributed by the Academy said the actor died at home surrounded by family members. No cause of death was disclosed."
