Eli Wallach, the enduring and artful character actor who starred as Mexican hombres in the 1960s film classics The Magnificent Seven and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, has died. He was 98.

Wallach, who won a Tony Award in 1951 for playing Alvaro in Tennessee Williams’ original production of The Rose Tattoo, made his movie debut as a cotton-gin owner trying to seduce a virgin in Elia Kazan’s Baby Doll (1956) and worked steadily well into his nineties, died on Tuesday, his daughter Katherine told The New York Times.

I remember him from a number of old flicks, including The Hunter (1980), I always loved that one, as well as Mackenna's Gold. Glad that he got to have 98 long years on this planet, RIP Eli Wallach.

He was also one of the actors who played Mr. Freeze on Batman.
