I'm glad to have experienced his artistic acumen!
I had no idea he was that old.......wow!...and such a sterling career too
Karl Malden was certainly one of the most capable actors of the 20th century. A couple of my favorite KM performances were in “The Hanging Tree”, “Nevada Smith” and “One Eyed Jacks”. All gritty westerns where he really shined.
Wow- 97 years old! Rest in Peace, Karl Malden.
And after so many, many acclaimed pictures, he starred on TV in the Streets of San Francisco” with Michael Douglas. Definitely one of the greatest careers of all time for a character actor. RIP Mr. Malden.
What a great role model for the American people Karl Malden was. Yet everyone now seems so fixated on every despicable tidbit of MJ’s truly pathetic and dysfunctional life.
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
What a fascinating interview! I read the whole thing. I enjoyed that the focus of the interview was on his coming from a hard-working immigrant family. I grew up in Chicago with my immigrant grandparents next door—they came from Sweden. The story is so familiar. And as a Lutheran pastor, I deal with old folks—immigrants or the children of immigrants—all the time. I’m glad that Mladen Sekulovich (Karl Malden) stayed true to his roots!
When another great - Elia Kazan - was finally recognized by the leftist Hollywood establishment a few years before his death, Karl Malden was one of the few who stood up and paid homage to Kazan.
Those who appreciate the talents and patriotism of Elia Kazan will never forget this generous gesture of respect.
(What an excellent website too)
O God of spirits and of all flesh, You have trampled down death and have abolished the power of the devil, giving life to Your world. Give rest to the soul of Your departed servant Mladen in a place of light, in a place of repose, in a place of refreshment, where there is no pain, sorrow, and suffering. As a good and loving God, forgive every sin he has committed in thought, word or deed, for there is no one who lives and is sinless. You alone are without sin. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your word is truth.
