Chicago-native actor Karl Malden dead at 97 - July 1, 2009

The family of Karl Malden says the actor who won an Oscar for his role in “A Streetcar Named Desire” has died at age 97.

Malden’s family informed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences of his death on Wednesday. Malden served as the academy’s president from 1989-92.

He made his screen debut in the 1940 movie “They Knew What They Wanted,” and was praised for his role as Mitch in the 1951 classic “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

His greatest fame came as Detective Mike Stone in the 1970s TV series “The Streets of San Francisco,” in which he co-starred with Michael Douglas.

Malden also was a pitchman for American Express in a series of commercials airing over 21 years.

Born to a Czech mother and a Serbian father in Chicago, on March 22, 1912, Karl Malden didn't learn how speak English until he was in kindergarten.

He was raised in Gary, where he ended up working a steel job in the town's mills after school. After a short time at Arkansas State Teacher's College, he attended the Goodman Theater Dramatic School and never looked back.

Karl was one of my favorite actors. My mom loved him,too.
I remember him in the movie "Hotel" where he played a thief.
Also,after Streets on TV,he was in a great show where he
played an aging steel worker. It showed him raising his family
and just being a regular guy with high values. Very good show!
May he RIP!
