Richard Widmark
The consummate actor's actor has died at age 93.
A veteran of more than 70 films, Mr. Widmark showed enormous range: strong military men ("Halls of Montezuma," "The Bedford Incident"), obsessed detectives ("Madigan"), Western heroes ("The Alamo") and insolent underworld figures, notably his explosive debut as a cold-blooded killer in 1947's "Kiss of Death."I've seem most of his films, but I remember most was the film The Long Ships. I was about ten when I saw it, from the backseat of my parents' car at the drive-in. I was enthralled.
RIP Mr. Widmark.
