First Diamond trailer

25 November 2009 6:40 AM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

This is a rather interesting tale of a lost script written by a famed playwright over forty years ago, a project that is just now seeing the light of day. For those of us young enough to think Tennessee Williams is a brand of whiskey, he's actually a hugely famous writer who penned A Streetcar Named Desire and Baby Doll, both of which landed him Oscar nominations. Both were collaborations with director Elia Kazan, and The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond was meant to be a third venture, but for... »

Karl Malden (1912 - 2009)

4 July 2009 8:57 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Academy Award winner and Hollywood legend Karl Malden died yesterday at the age of 97 of natural causes. He has had one of the longest and most successful careers of any American actor and starred in some of the most Iconic films of all time (On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Birdman of Alcatraz, Patton) and starred in the 1970s TV drama The Streets of San Francisco. But what made Malden a house hold name were the American Express commercials he made in the 70s and 80s with the catchphrase “Don’t leave home without it.” Born Mladen Sekulovich on March 22, 1912 in Chicago, he was the son of a Serbian father and a Czech mother. His father was a steelworker and as a young man Malden took up the profession for a few years. He began acting in high school and in 1937 moved to New York to try his hand on Broadway. »

Black Malden Moan: 'Baby Doll'

2 July 2009 8:27 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

With the great titan of acting and frequent genius Karl Malden passing (at 97 years of age god bless him), I'm posting one of my favorite Malden movies and performances -- Baby Doll. Though there's many brilliant Malden performances to choose from, this one will leave you fuzzy and buzzy. And I think we all need some of that right now. "There isn't much of you, but what there is is choice. Delectable, I might say... You're fine-fibered. Soft and smooth...You make me think of cotton. No! No fabric or cloth, not even satin or silk cloth, and no kind of fiber, not even cotton fiber has the absolute delicacy of your skin." So says a predatory Eli Wallach to an aroused and "hysterical" Caroll Baker in one of the most notoriously erotic mainstream films ever produced at that time. The... »

Veteran Actor Karl Malden Dies at 97

1 July 2009 9:00 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Many of us grew up remembering him as Lieutenant Mike Stone of the San Francisco police department, the tough but kind-hearted detective who mentored the young Steven Keller — played by an equally young Michael Douglas — on the ABC series The Streets of San Francisco between 1972 and 1977. An older generation recall his tremendous performance as Father Barry opposite Marlon Brando in the 1954 classic film, On the Waterfront. For both generations, Karl Malden was a truly compelling character actor. And today we will miss him, for at age 97, Karl Malden has died.

Malden passed away in his sleep at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, according his manager, Bud Ross. The cause of death has not yet been determined, but given Malden's death, it could have been a combination of factors, all most probably brought on naturally as a consequence of age.

Malden appeared alongside Marlon Brando in two of director Elia Kazan »

A Streetcar Named Desire in 1947 [via]

This past week has been very rough on the entertainment industry and our cultural history. Today, with Karl Malden's death, we've lost the last remaining principal cast member of Tennessee William's legendary play turned movie A Streetcar Named Desire (1951). Now, Malden's career was much larger than mama's boy Harold "Mitch" Mitchel but that classic role, which he originated and owned, is a vital part of his legacy.

Strangely, Jessica Tandy's Tony honor (the original "Blanche DuBois") was the show's only attention from 'Broadway's Oscars' if you will. All the principles transferred to the movie except Tandy who was replaced by the cinema's most legendary southern belle (even though she was British) Vivien Leigh. When it came to the Oscars, three of the four actors (including Malden) collected statues. In typical Oscar fashion the performance most often regarded as game changing for the entire »

Karl Malden Passes Away at the Age of 97

1 July 2009 5:34 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

It has been a rough two weeks for the entertainment business when it comes to the passing of major celebrity names as Karl Malden has passed away at the age of 97. Malden died in his sleep about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, his manager Bud Ross tells CNN. Malden won an Oscar for his performance alongside Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and was also nominated for another one of his performances opposite Brando in On the Waterfront in 1955. Only five years ago at the 2004 Screen Actors Guild Awards he was recognized with a Life Achievement Award and has long been recognized as a Hollywood icon. My personal experience with his movies has been relatively limited considering the overal breadth of his career but I have seen him in films such as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, Baby Doll, How the West Was Won, The Cincinnati Kid, Patton »
