Richard Widmark died at 93 today. He was for me one of the last big Hollywood Movie Legends.

RIP Richard Widmark

RIP, ya ol' Swedish-& Minnesota-origined actor -
in my ol' Wild West collector's film star cards series [www.sunrisetownship.com]

A very recognizable face and presence in the movies.
RIP

That's gotta be Karl Malden on the right [facing us] of Widmark, who is on the left ?

Either Jack Palance or Robert Wagner.
If Malden is on OUR right; I'd say its Wagner on left.
But I wont bet even a half dime on it.

Could be Richard Boone. "Have Gun Will Travel"

Widmark did a great scene with James Stewart in the John Ford film "Two Rode Together" where the two of them had a conversation by a river bank. It was a four minute scene done in single two-shot of them with no cutaways. Beautiful stuff.

He was a good actor and a big star at one time. In the last couple of decades he fell off the radar, and was sort of forgotten.

I think most people were shocked to find out that he had been still alive!

I think Richard was one of the best Hollywood actors especially for westerns. God bless.

He was the original nutter "johnny udo " in kiss off death,great stuff

Great actor. RIP.

I'll go with Boone, to me it looks more like him than Palance or Wagner.

Palance & Wagner are starring in that movie, donnow about Boone.

I should rent this one and watch it; not sure I've ever seen it.
Boone was in it, and Jack Webb, some "heavy hitters".
