  Karl Malden, Tyrone Power in Diplomatic Courier (1952)

Karl Malden, who won a best supporting actor Oscar for A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951, died &#34;of natural causes&#34; at his Brentwood home earlier today. He was 97.
In addition to his film work &#8212; which includes dozens of features from 1940 to the late 1980s &#8212; Malden starred opposite Michael Douglas in the popular 1970s television cop series The Streets of San Francisco, and was a spokesman  for American Express. Additionally, he served as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and  Sciences from 1989-92.
The son of Central European immigrants, the Chicago-born (March 22, 1912) Malden began his film career in a small role in the 1940 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christopher Plummer, whose autobiography In Spite of Myself has just come out, was interviewed by Jeff Stafford for  the Turner Classic Movies website. Below is a brief snippet:
TCM: With you being such a classically trained actor, I was  curious about your opinion of &#34;The Method&#34; and Marlon Brando&#8217;s  impact on the theatre world with A Streetcar Named Desire.
CP: Listen, to me &#34;The Method&#34; is usually totally  misunderstood. It doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to mumble and not be heard.  It means that you use it when you&#8217;re in deep trouble, when you can&#8217;t  bring your imagination to work then you try and have a sense memory of  your own that can help and [...]]]></description>

Lily white Fox star Jeanne Crain was nominated for an Oscar for trying (and failing) to pass for a light-skinned &#34;black&#34; (read: mixed  ancestry) girl trying to pass for a lily white girl. Fellow nominee Ethel Waters comforts Crain: &#34;You cayn&#8217;t act, but you&#8217;re darned purty.&#34; (Actually, Crain could be excellent. Check out Henry King&#8217;s nostalgic Margie.)

		<description><![CDATA[Elia Kazan is best remembered today for two things: His association with Marlon Brando during the first half of the 1950s, and the fact that he claimed to be unrepentant about naming names, and ruining careers and lives during the Red-baiting hysteria of the post-World War II years. 
Kazan&#8217;s 19 feature films are wildly uneven &#8212; for every great A Streetcar Named Desire there is a dreadful America, America,  plus everything in between. Yet, probably because of his Broadway training, Kazan was definitely an outstanding actors&#8217; director. 
Tough-guy Brando, irritating mannerisms and all, remains the best-remembered Kazan star, even though the director coaxed superb performances from a wide range of players, ranging from child actress Peggy Ann Garner, who [...]]]></description>
