Wikipedia | November 10, 2007 | Wikipedia

Posted on 11/10/2006 2:15:14 PM PST by MC Miker G

Jack Palance, (born Volodymyr Palanyuk [Ukr: Âîëîäèìèð Ïàëàíþê] on February 18, 1919, in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, USA), an Academy Award-winning American actor, died November 10, 2006.

With his rugged facial features and gravelly voice, Palance is best known to modern movie audiences as both the characters of Curly and Duke in the City Slickers movies, but his career has spanned half a century of film and television appearances.

Palance had recently placed his Butler Township, Pennsylvania, Holly-Brooke Farm up for sale and its contents, his personal lifetime collection, up for auction.

As of Friday afternoon, November 10, 2006, the Associated Press is reporting that Jack has passed away at his home in Motecito, CA.

Godspeed on your journey, Jack! Apart from being a great actor, he seemed to be a genuinely nice guy...

That would be as 'Jack Wilson', BTW.

The best western gunfight scene ever.

On of my late father's favorite actors. He always said Palance always played the perfect villain to him. I agreed.

A good actor and as I recall an injured WWII vet who served his country honorably. So we celebrate that service and honor his sacrifice as well as mourn his passing.
