Jack Palance has died. If you look at his IMDB page, and scan the dates, there isn’t a significant GAP in dates, no fallow period, no years of not working. Palance has always worked. I liked him for his sense of danger, the sense that you never knew what he was going to do, also his fearlessness about not being liked. He just didn’t care. In fact, he relished not being liked. <\/p>\n
Just two years ago, there was an incident that should have made major headlines. Palance was invited to a Russian Film Festival held in Los Angeles, and he – along with Dustin Hoffman – were going to be given awards for their contributions to Russian culture.
