Spartacus was one of his best as far as I am concerned. He had a stroke years ago and had to learn to talk again. Even survived a helicopter crash. I also liked him in Paths of Glory. The movie actually got banned in France.

Its hard to find, but he did a followup in Tales from the Crypt as a WW1 General who has to sentice his son for treason, played by his real son Eric. Quite good performance. RIP Sparticus!

It’s pretty impressive that he lived to be 103. Almost as impressive as Keith Richards still being alive.

Yep...enjoyed many of his films growing up...Burt Lancaster’s too. I remember when Frank Gorshin use to imitate both of them.

Tough guy indeed! 103 is quite a long run. Of course he has achieved a sort of immortality in that his movies will no doubt be around much longer than that.

Thanks for that. I did a search twice and was surprised when nothing came up. Perhaps I should have not used the full name.

Maybe you’ve heard of “Search” - which is why everyone else has known about this from the previous threads on the same topic. Threads that came from actual sources.

He’s not quite the last. Olivia de Havilland is still with us.
