Jack Palance Died, RIP

Jack Palance, the living legend, real life cow-boy-actor, is no longer living. Now he's just the regular kinda legend.

He died in Montecito, CA and was surrounded by family.

The Oscar-winning actor first appeared in a film in 1950, as a murderer named "Blackie", and he is known to many younger audiences as a co-star in "City Slickers", with that loser Billy Crystal.

AP reports his age at 85, but his family says he's 87. Either way this classic cinema star with the intimidating face will be missed. He should stand as a role model for all of us, by being a modest hero, and teaching us to only accept our Oscar with a round of one handed push-ups.

Couldn't find any footage of the push-ups, but this was pretty funny.
