whoopazz Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Alexis Arguello also, age 57, apparently murdered. One of my all time favorite fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Holy Crap--all of these deaths are making me start to think that I might end up dying someday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Alexis Arguello also, age 57, apparently murdered. One of my all time favorite fighters. He was awesome. I think he lost to my Tommy Hearns early in Hearns career in a really good fight (IIRC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 at the age of 97 Prior to reading this, he would have fallen into the category of those who I wasn't sure if they had passed away yet or not. I guess that's a sign of living a full life. One of those actors who brings back memories of watching TV shows with my grandparents 20+ years ago (and they were re-runs at that point). Plus, he's one of the few celebrities that shared my first name with me (with the "correct" spelling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 He was very good in "Streets of San Francisco" and "Patton". Sad to see him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 We should all be so lucky to make it to 97. Streets of SF is a show that I remember watching with my parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) ...Mr. Malden, who worked in the steel mills of Gary, Ind., and served in the Army Air Force in World War II, later found fame on Broadway in Tennessee Williams’s “Streetcar Named Desire,” where he originated the role of Mitch. He reprised the role in Elia Kazan’s 1951 film adaptation and won the Academy Award for best supporting actor. ...CLTV has reported that there is a tribute tentatively planned for Michael Jackson in his hometown of Gary, Indiana. Maybe they can piggyback that MJ tribute in Gary, Indiana. Edited July 2, 2009 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
