He still did the best Requiem For A Heavyweight ever - the one made for TV and written by Rod Serling

His first movie was so classic playing the sadistic murderous gunslinger in Shane. "Prove it!"

Same here. One of the many that wouldv'e been on my dead pool. Is it too morbid to suggest we start a Jets Insider dead pool. If that's the case I'm going with Al Davis to kick the bucket first.

Few people know that movie actor Jack Palance was a professional heavyweight boxer in the early 1940s. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance a product of Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, won his first 15 fights, 12 by knockout before losing a 4th round decision to future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi on Dec. 17, 1940. With the outbreak of World War II, Jack Palance's boxing career ended and his military career began. Wounded in combat, he received the purple heart, good conduct medal, and the World War II Victory Medal. After the war he began his long and famous motion picture career.

He was 87 and had a great life. He was a very good actor and a better person.
Rest in peace Jack.

To me, he'll always be Lt. Joe Costa, the tragic hero in "Attack." Not well known, but an excellent WW2 film. Palance gave a great performance in that movie, as did the (later to be) all star cast. Polically and socially controversial, because it didn't depict American soldiers as universally heroic. A forerunner to the Oliver Stone war movies.

They used to run it on TV back in the 1970s, but it's hardly ever seen anymore.
