Adieu, Karl Malden (1912-2009)

This is a bad week for Gary, Indiana, natives. Malden worked in the steel mills of Gary before serving in World War II. Michael Jackson was a native of Gary.

Malden was superb in many of his roles, but it's A Streetcar Named Desire where he excelled, both on stage and on screen. He won a Tony for this role, which he originated on Broadway, and reprised it on film, winning an Acadamy Award for Best Supporting actor.
