well at least you have something else to write about
No fucking picture?! This guy was a legend. He was a brilliant, versatile actor. Come on, show some respect.
Rest in peace, Maldy.
Wow, he lived a long life! Awesome!
okay. nevermind. you added some more shit about him. thanks
I'm glad he lived a good, long life, but it's sad to lose another star I grew up with!!! He always seemed like such a nice man.
One of the greatest actors of all time.
Aww.. I always liked Karl Malden! R.I.P.
You can't say he's however many "years young" after he dies of OLD age.
RIP Karl! He lived a long life. Just saw on the Waterfront this weekend again. Love that movie with him. Go with the angels!
Is it me, or is a lot of people passing away this month? And stores being closed and shows being cancelled and yada yada?.. :S
THIS LEGEND WAS ALSO BORN IN GARY INDIANA, LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON! MAYBE THE OUTRAGEOUS MAYOR OF GARY WILL TURN HIS HOME INTO A SHRINE ALSO. THE MAYOR OF GARY IS A VERY SILLY MAN, NO ONE WHO WAS BORN IN GARY WANTS TO RETURN THERE OR REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES THEY SUFFERED THERE! LEAVE MICHAEL & KARL ALONE MAYOR CLAY! INVEST IN A BULLDOZER!
Talk about a GREAT actor!
Fuck, this guy was so deep.
Street Car Named Desire, Cincinnati Kid, Gypsy!
More than a supporting actor.
Loved him.
RIP!
Hope you lived a great life!
Say hi to my dad!
So few great ones left….
RIP, he was a good actor and nice guy. Now the question is…who's next? We had 3 (Ed, Farrah, Michael) now 2 so far (Billy, Karl), it's always in 3's right!
Heller Perez.

lord je-sussssss what the hell they been doing.
Halleluyer. Amen. r.i.p Whatever

Re: landonsmommy – Please go and watch some of his films. You won't look a life the same way.
Re: JigSaw – 6 Typical shallow remark from you.
God Bless and Rest in Peace…
coincidently he was born in gary Indiana.
Who the hell is he?? I only care about Michael, seeing as I don't have any intentions on grieving the loss of this dude.
Carl Malden will be sadly missed. He played Herbie in Gypsy the movie opposite Natalie Wood and Rosalind Russell….he was a class act….R.I.P. Mr. Malden
Karl Malden was a great actor, truly. By all accounts he was a good man as well. Peace to him.
He was also a Gary, Indiana native. Wonder how the mayor will react this time?
I haven't heard of him but since he was in "On the Waterfront" I'll have to check him out. Sounds like he lived a nice long life…yet still creepy all these people are dying around the same time. Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Frank Travalena *Vegas Entertainer*, Gale Storm *Classic Hollywood Actress*, and now Karl Malden. SHEESH!! Oh and Perez….R.I.P. is a lot more tasteful then "Rock On!"
He was in one of my fav movies of all time "Dead Ringer" with the fabulous Bette Davis.
To Valhalla!
Aw. BRILLIANT actor. RIP Mr. Malden.

RIP
Re: I Love Haters – Hi from last night!
RIP Karl–and goodbye to that one of a kind nose that looked like Peter Griffin's chin!!
Re: JigSaw – ..l..
What a fine man and terrific actor. Even though he had many fine roles — and awards for them — I'll always remember him as Mike Stone in the TV series "The Streets of San Francisco". They don't make them like that anymore. You did good, Mladen Sekulovich!
Flangie you dumbass - Quincy was Jack Klugman
One of the heavies. On the Waterfront is one of the greatest movies of all time. In my top 5.
Re: tineoighear – Jack Klugman played Herbie on broadway with Ethel Merman
Re: SWEETPIECE! – Hello!
I would always watch The Streets of San Francisco. He and Michael Douglas were quite the pair.
Re: flangie nopants – That was Jack Klugman
What a huge talent! At least he lived to be 97….
Rest in peace…
This guy was an AMAZING character-actor!! I LOVED LOVED to watch him work. RIP Karl Malden. He really was one of the fairly unknown greats.
Damn! People are just dropping like flies in h.wood! RIP to them all and god bless their families.
GOD BLESS YOU KARL.
I will never forget the kindness you showed me.
Monday night I came across the great letters and postcards you sent.
I will cherish them forever.
Tell Grandpa hi when you see him!
the third person! omg! why is it always 3 celeberties that dies almost at the same time? it's really creepy!

Sad week for Gary, Indiana.
Re: SWEETPIECE! – I like that, "Say hi to my dad." Sweet.
Re: brahitsemily –
A LOT OF GARY CITIZENS WHO LIVED THERE WHEN THEY WERE PREGNANT AND AFTER GAVE BIRTH OUTSIDE THE CITY. THE STIGMA OF BEING BORN IN GARY INDIANA COULD MAR YOUR LIFE. WOULD YOU WANT GARY INDIANA ON YOUR KID'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Re: flangie nopants – That's Jack Klugman. Karl Malden did the Streets of San Francisco.
RIP.
Correction: He was born in Chicago & raised in Gary Indiana.
