HE LIVED, HE GAVE AND HE SHINED! His carreer expanded over 40 years in films.
Jack Palance, the craggy-faced menace in “Shane,” “Sudden Fear” and other films who turned successfully to comedy in his 70s with his Oscar-winning self-parody in “City Slickers,” died Friday.
Palance died of natural causes at his home in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by family, said spokesman Dick Guttman. He was 87.
When Palance accepted his Oscar for best supporting actor he delighted viewers of the 1992 Academy Awards by dropping to the stage and performing one-armed push-ups to demonstrate his physical prowess.
HE WILL BE REMEMBERED BY HIS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT HIS LAST WORDS AT THE OSCARS NATIONALLY WERE....AFTER DOING ONE-HANDED PUSH-UPS...
“That’s nothing, really,” he said slyly. “As far as two-handed push-ups, you can do that all night, and it doesn’t make a difference whether she’s there or not.”
JACK WE WILL MISS YOU!
