Re: Eli Wallach

Eli was a safe pair of hands for the type of character parts he played .
98 out isn't a bad innings...

Re: Eli Wallach

I heard a quote of his being read out on the radio - I cannot remember exactly, but something like " getting a good review from critics is like the hangman saying you have a pretty neck!"

Re: Eli Wallach

I hadn't heard about this until I saw this thread. Such a shame, but he did live a long life which is something to be grateful for.

Re: Eli Wallach

One of the great oldies. A brilliant actor that made it look easy. I couldn't believe he had reached the ripe old age of 98.
