LOS ANGELES - Jack Palance, the craggy-faced menace in “Shane,” “Sudden Fear” and other films who turned to comedy at 70 with his Oscar-winning self-parody in “City Slickers,” died Friday.

Palance died of natural causes at his home in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by family, said spokesman Dick Guttman. Palance was 85 according to Associated Press records, but his family gave his age as 87.

From his biography:

Palance's face was disfigured when he bailed out of his burning B-24 in WWII.

Man...one of my all time favorite actors.

He was also a professional boxer and later a WWII bomber pilot who was severely burned when his bird was hit.

He'll be missed. He was one heckuva actor.

 

[Mr. Paul Caruso]

Please don't say heckuva. j/k

A great hero and actor.

RIP Jack
