Karl Malden (1912-2009)

If you're gonna die, this is how you ought to do it. Live until you're in your late 90's and die of natural causes.

That's the way Karl Malden, 97, went out. Sad thing is his death didn't get nearly the attention Farrah's death did. Michael Jackson's been dead for a week + and he's still getting press.

I really never was familiar with the work of Karl Malden, except for seeing him in the second Poseidon Adventure movie that came out in 1979. Malden's biggest role was on television in the five year run of the "Streets of San Francisco," which he starred in along with some guy named Michael Douglas. This is a show I don't remember ever watching in syndication but seems worthy to check out if it's on DVD.
