Richard Widmark, R-I-P (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080326/ap_en_mo/obit_widmark;_ylt=Akq8r4mUKxsux5FJyJXgcNxxFb8C)

Though I've seen him in many films, the insane and insanely funny Tommy udo will always be a favorite. In fact, I often invoke him by threatening to push my roomie down the stairs....j/k

I hate to say this, but I'll remember "him" most by the way Lucy Ricardo would read his name from the squished orange she had him autograph during their season in Hollywood.

Something about this line strikes me amusing. I hope Lani and I live such lives that the end can be taken so sanguine.

Blanchard was his wife.

Unfortunately, I do not remember that episode.

The Charles Boyer epsiode, I remember!

Ditto, but I believe it was a grapefruit.

I remember him from such films as Judgment at Nuremberg, Kiss of Death and Rollercoaster.
And, of course, the I Love Lucy grapefruit episode where he almost shot Lucy in the face with a shotgun.

Interesting, he was immediately recognizable to me but looking over his filmography it would appear that the only movies of his I've actually seen are The Alamo and The Swarm.
