R.I.P. Jack Palance

Jack Palance died yesterday at the age of 87. This man had an illustrious career and to me always represented scary villans and tough S.O.B.s, and had what I believe to be the all-time best airy, raspy, evil voice. I remember him as the host of Ripley's Believe It Or Not, as the short lived big boss Grissom in the first Batman movie, and as the comicly scary Curly in City Slickers. My favorite Jack Palance moment: him doing one-handed push-ups on stage at the 1992 Oscars.

Rest in Peace Mr. Palance.
