Karl Malden died today at 97-years-old. The famous actor who starred in such movies as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront and One-Eyed Jacks had a lengthy career that spanned six decades. Coincidentally, Malden was born in the small town of Gary, Indiana. The same birthplace as the recently deceased Michael Jackson.
Malden, who is half Czech and half Serbian was the eldest of three brothers and changed his name from Mladen Sekulovich at the age of 22. After attending acting school in Chicago he went on to do theater and eventually movies in New York City.
