C L A U D E Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Congrats to the great Eli Wallach, who is still going strong at -- what? -- 95? Also honoured is director Jean Luc Godard! Mr Wallach has always been a favorite of mine, every part played to perfection, as recently as the villain in the Streisand film "NUTS", i was shocked that not only was he still alive, but he's still working and doing the same great job he's done from the very beginning. I used to also enjoy watching him and his wife on talk shows, always interesting and sometimes quite funny also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
