Re: RIP Eli Wallach

Eli Wallach certainly lived a wonderful life and lived to a ripe old age. He was very blessed. What a wonderful actor, and he leaves us with many quality pieces of his work to enjoy in the years to come.

May he rest in peace.

I read a statement where Mr. Wallach said that he received more fame for his role as Mr. Freeze in Batman than he did for any of his other works. That's incredible!

He also played a rather crude character in a movie that starred up and coming starlet, Carroll Baker. It was called "Baby Doll," and was considered extremely risqué for the times.

I enjoyed him in 'The Misfits' with Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable.

Great movie.

Yes, but unfortunately both hers and his last movie. The one she was making when she was killed was never completed.

I just watched the Magnificent Seven last night, and thought what a terrific actor he was. Hard to believe that movie was made over 50 years ago!
