Believe it or Not......
LOS ANGELES - Jack Palance, the craggy-faced menace in "Shane," "Sudden Fear" and other films who turned to comedy at 70 with his Oscar-winning role in "City Slickers," died Friday.
Palance died of natural causes at his home in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by family, said spokesman Dick Guttman. Palance was 85 according to Associated Press records. The family indicated he was 87.

"Pick it up."
"I don't wanna pick it up, Mister, you'll shoot me."
"Pick up the gun."
"Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came downtown here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about ten rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, Mister."
"Pick up the gun."
(He picks it up. Three shots ring out.)
"You all saw him - he had a gun."

"Is that you Sugarbumps?"
This time it wasn't the Joker, just some dude with a sickle.
Rest well, Jack. You earned it.

Great B-Movie actor Rack him, and Crystal for seeing the comic repercussions of getting him the gig as Curly.
RIP

Was that him, Shane? Was that Wilson?
That was Wilson, all right, and he was fast, fast on the draw.
RIP Jack !!
