Author Topic: Jack Palance has died Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-10-2006 04:22 PM                     Jack Palance died Friday of natural causes at his home in Montecito, California. He was 87 years old. City Slickers, Shane, Batman (1989), Young Guns, Oklahoma Crude, The Professionals, Barabbas, Panic in the Streets to name just a few.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-10-2006 06:43 PM                        I thought he died years and years ago. I swear I even remember a tribute to him. Maybe he came back as a zombie? But when I first saw this thread I though "Jack Valenti" and started to get excited.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-10-2006 09:51 PM                        I always enjoyed the movies he was associated with. A very unique talent. You knew what he was thinking when you looked into his eyes. May he rest in Peace.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-15-2006 06:19 PM                       Yes, he was a good one. Old school heavy. I loved him in City Slickers.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-15-2006 11:19 PM                     quote: Tim Reed I loved him in City Slickers. Agreed. I'm not sure which I liked better, though...his performance in "City Slickers," or his performance on stage when he won his Oscar.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-16-2006 07:25 AM                     He was terrific in "Shane," but for some reason, one of my favorite movie quotes belongs to him from Tim Burton's first "Batman." When he's setting up Jack Napier, Palance's Carl Grissom grabs him and in a gravelly whisper, tells him, "You...are my number one...guy." Not so much the line, but his unique delivery. Always the pro.  |  IP: Logged
