R.I.P. 93 was a long life. I had actually thought wrongly that he had already passed away years ago.

I always think of "The Alamo" (the first one). Not one of Widmark's greatest moments, but it was the first film where I noticied him (48 years ago yesterday...)

And yes, he will be missed!

That giggle he gave upon casting the elderly wheelchair-bound lady down the staircase in his debut performance in "Kiss of Death" typecast a versatile actor for years. Eventually, through "Judgement at Nuremberg" and others, he would get less villainous parts. A non-violent man cast in many violent roles. His legacy will endure.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Yeah, Richard was a great actor. I liked him in "The Alamo", "The Bedford Incedent", "How the West was Won" and a few others. Sadly, there are no new actors that can replace the caliber of the older classic actors. He will be missed.
