Eli Wallach Dies At 98

Sad news. Actor Eli Wallach passed away at age 98.

The New York Times reported:

Eli Wallach, who was one of his generation’s most prominent and prolific character actors in film, onstage and on television for more than 60 years, died on Tuesday. He was 98. 

His death was confirmed by his daughter Katherine.

I first took notice of Wallach with his performance as Tuco in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966). He virtually stole that movie.

He was also one of the brighter spots in The Godfather: Part III (1990) as Mafia Don Altobello, who gets poisoned by Michael Corleone's sister Connie during an opera.
