The star of the Streets of San Francisco (with Michael Douglas), died today, according to FOX News Shep Smith.
The city of San Francisco named an alley just off Second Street in honor of this man, the great work he did on the old "Streets" show. One of my favorite anecdotes, he would frequently refer to Det. Sekulovich in episodes, "Get me coffee ... locate this file ..." etc., this was Malden's birth surname. His list of credits is a mile long, a personal favorite is his performance in the film "Gypsy" -- one of the greats of Hollywood past. RIP, Mr. Malden.

I liked him in “Pollyanna” and “Meteor”. Both fun movies.
He retired in the early 1990’s, except for one episode of the West Wing, playing a priest, in 2000.
and Malden was born in Gary, Indiana!
Not just another pretty face.
RIP
2008 marks the Maldens' 70th wedding anniversary making theirs the third longest marriage in Hollywood history surpassing the 69 years of Bob Hope and Dolores Hope (1934 until his death in 2003) and just behind Norman Lloyd and Peggy Lloyd, who were married in 1936. Art Linkletter and Lois Foerster hold the record with 73 years (1935).
Uh, oh.
He had the longest marriage in Hollywood.
Now, THERE, my FRiends was a role model!
Forget MJ!
He was 97 years old. God bless him for living a full life. If I live to be 97 years old I will be very grateful. May he rest in peace
And he died five years to the day after Brando!
Interesting fact.
But he wasn’t a very good dancer.

At least Brando was born in Omaha. This is getting creepy.
Both Brando and the other Method Acting pioneer, Montgomery Clift, were born in Omaha.
David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett,Billy Mays, and now Karl Malden.
A favorite of mine is The Hanging Tree with the Coop
