p2pnet - rss feed: Richard Widmark dies, aged 93
p2pnet news | Movies:- Richard Widmark, the, "self-effacing actor who played cackling maniacs, dedicated public servants and maverick leading men with equal distinction," says the Washington Post, died March 24 at his home at the age of 93.
His, "gritty persona also suited him well for Westerns, playing in such John Ford Westerns as ‘Two Rode Together’ and ‘Cheyenne Autumn’," says the Los Angeles Times.
"He played the title role in the New York cop story, ‘Madigan’ (1968) for director Don Siegel. Throughout his career, Widmark was especially gifted in showing the psychological cracks and ticks of otherwise solid authority figures."
But, "I’ve discovered in my dotage that I now find the whole moviemaking process irritating," Widmark said, adding:
"I don’t have the patience anymore. I’ve got a few more years to live, and I don’t want to spend them sitting around a movie set for 12 hours to do two minutes of film."
