Oscar-winning actor Karl Malden dead at 97
Veteran actor Karl Malden, who won an Academy Award for his role in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” has died at age 97, his manager said Wednesday.
Malden died in his sleep about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, said his manager, Bud Ross.
Malden appeared alongside Marlon Brando in two of director Elia Kazan’s classic films of the 1950s — “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “On the Waterfront.” He won the best supporting actor Oscar for “Streetcar,” which was released in 1951, in 1952 and was nominated for his role as a priest crusading against crooked union bosses in “On the Waterfront.”
Ross said he did not know the cause of death.
“It could be a combination of things,” Ross said. “He was 97 years old.”
I honestly thought he died 15 or so years ago.

These are not good days to be a celebrity!
You are forgetting that impressionist in Las Vegas. Fred Travelena was on The Tonight Show several times and has a star on the walk of fame. He died last weekend.
“the only actor in Hollywood whose nose qualifies him for handicapped parking.”
Oh no not Fred Travelena!!!
That should knock you-know-who off the front page, eh?
Do People-With-Really-Weird-Noses die in threes?
1. Michael Jackson
2. Karl Malden
3. ?
DJ – If he was not already dead, W.C, Fields would be worried.
Karl Malden’s nose was his marker. I remember him and a Michael Douglas in the TV show The Streets of San Francisco
I thought he died years ago too. I always liked him. Found myself staring at his weird nose though.
Who nose whose next?
If it’s by the nose, then it might be Girard Depardeau (sp?) or; and i hate to say it– Owen Wilson.
Depardieu died October last year
