Karl Malden Dead at the Age of 97 … Rest in Peace

Sadly, Karl Malden has died at the age of 97. The Oscar winning actor died Wednesday of natural causes at his Brentwood home. To one of my favorite actors of all time, Rest in Peace. What a talent this man truly was in a time when actors could truly act and when screen presence was larger than life. Karl Malden was not just another pretty face, the man had it. Thank you for sharing your talents, God Bless.

Malden’s career lasted six decades, more than 50 films, including an Oscar in 1951 for “A Street Car Named Desire”. Many of my generation remember Karl Malden for his role on the TV series, “Streets of San Francisco.” As stated by Shakesville, Malden had a special “badass” quality that was a presence on the screen or TV. Of course Karl Malden is also remember for other films he was in like the original Miracle on Ice, Gypsy, On the Waterfront and Patton to name a few. See all of his numerous accomplishments here.

However, to reach superstardom, one needs to be remembered in a timeless manner and there is nothing more timeless than a catch phrase in a commercial that becomes symptomatic with the product being advertised. For more than 20 years Karl Malden was the face of American Express, before anyone referred to it as AMEX. In 1973 Karl Malden introduced us with the catch phrase … “Don’t Leave Home With Out It.”

As first reported at TMZ.com, Michael Jackson, the self proclaimed King of Pop, has dies at the age of 50 from cardiac arrest. One of the most talented and troubled entertainers ever has passed. Michael Jackson was a flawed individual; however, a brilliant talent. He revolutionized dance of his generation and brought music video to a level never seen.

Farrah Fawcett has sadly but mercifully passed away.

Rest in Peace Angel

1970’s “It Girl” icon, Farah Fawcett has passed away after her long and brave battle with cancer. A piece of my childhood died today with Farah Fawcett’s passing. Farah got her fame as the blond haired beauty on Charlie’s Angels in the 1970’s. She was the sexy Angel. Recently, she became known to many in her later years for her determination to fight cancer and a symbol of the will to survive through her years-long battle with cancer,

“After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away,” Fawcett’s longtime romantic partner Ryan O’Neal said in a statement released by Fawcett’s publicist, Paul Bloch. “Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world.”

Farrah Fawcett’s ‘Burning Bed’ gave domestic abuse another face

Farah Fawcett died this morning at 9:28 a.m. PST on Thursday at St. John’s Heath Center in Santa Monica, CA at the age of 62.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal tells PEOPLE, also confirming that she received the last rites of the Catholic Church. “She’s now with her mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”

A note from my childhood … Farah, thank you for the red swimsuit … Rest in Peace and God Bless.
