My extra part was cut, but made it into the extras on the DVD/Blu-Ray.

"Ed Wood" deserved it's Best Picture nomination. Landau's performance in a Support role is one of the best performances ever in that category, too. But it's nothing like the background actors in "Lovely, Still". LOL

I had lost this. Taken at least 2 cell phones ago. I found it on David Macklin's site. He passed away this year too. Life long Hollywood liberal actor. Was at the party when Bobby was assassinated.

Marta and I have 100's of in person Hollywood star photos. We know to talk about good little remembered performances. I did my homework before going to the location in case I got close.

I did by accident.

With Ellen I said something about her own series and some classic TV. Then I half sang "the last time I felt like this, I was falling in love." A huge smile from her and she talked about working with Alan Alda on "Same Time Next Year."



Martin had talked with several people. Most mentioned Mission Impossible, Ed Wood, The Majestic, and a few other well known roles.

I told him how Marta has an 8x10 glossy from "Cleopatra" and his face lit up and he clearly enjoyed hearing about it


I mentioned him as a gunfighter in the Twilight Zone episode Mr. Denton on Doomsday.


Then I mentioned Marta's love of "The Wild Wild West.

I finished out with his being in an 80's episode of the twilight Zone and asked how he liked working with Alan Brennert? I got a wow how do you remember that. I mentioned Marta is on the credits for the 80's TZ release and gets along well with Alan.


There were 3-5 extras that didn't get paid, but had a great moment or two with two wonderful stars.

OS

RIP

I loved him as Captain Koenig in Space 1999, and thought he was so handsome. I think i was about 8 at the time. RIP.

And in Mission Impossible.
The Outer Limits.
Just everything.
I hope he had the time of his life.

Martin Landau on an old episode of Bonanza just last night. I remember the star from Space:1999. Wasn't a big fan of the show, but ...I thought he was pretty cool!

Check him out in Woody Allen's," Crimes And Misdemeanors".
RIP, Marty...you were a true artist.

I'll have to fix that.

The story line about Alda's character (which includes mischief generated by Woody Allen's character) serves as comic relief from the intense main story line about the two opposite-natured brothers portrayed by Martin Landau and Jerry Orbach.

As a kid, I thought that was the best show ever! He was a brilliant actor in whatever he did. Godspeed to him...

The other role i liked him in that popped into my head was as the law professor in Rounders.

He was almost Mr. Spock, before Leonard Nimoy was chosen for the role!

R.I.P.

It's one of those weird ironies

I was a kid but remember The Outer Limits. There were 2 or 3 episodes he starred in.

RIP

One where he played an ugly alien who could change his looks to get some Earthgirl. I think it ended badly....

so was Crimes and Misdemeanors

condolences to his family and friends

May he rest in peace.

Crimes and Misdemeanors was a favorite of mine.

watched it tonight with my significant other, who had never seen it. We then turned on the news and hear that he died.

This statement forgets entirely that he did Space 1999

That said:

he was a fine actor

now I'm gonna go watch crimes and misdemeanors just for the memories...

"Crimes & Misdemeanors." Only Allen movie I ever saw that I like.

Martin,

"Sleeper". Now that's a funny film highlighted by when Woody emerges from the "Orgasmatron". Must see TV!

RIP Mr. Landau. He and Barbara Bain made the first three years of Mission:Impossible. Too bad they both left the show due to the contract issues. Wasn't the same show without them.

RIP
