I'm quite sorry to see that, matter of fact, this is the first news I have heard of it.
Condolences to his family.
If you happen to come across his autobiography, it is worth reading. A thoughtful guy who took his craft seriously and worked with a lot of very interesting actors in some great movies.
he was a fine actor. I really admired and liked this guy. his acting was riviting and genuine.
I will miss him. I immediately thought of the scene where he pulls up and screams "Baby Dolllll, Baby Dollllll.. Get Down Here.."
and on the waterfront "This Is MY Church Boys.."
Classic Malden callin the shots up in the big squadroom in the sky.
Rest in peace. He was a great actor.
