Eli Wallach, who a lot of us remember as the bandit leader Calvera from The Magnificent Seven, Tuco from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and outlaw Charlie Gant from How The West Was Won, has passed away at the age of 98. Mr. Wallach had a long career and many memorable parts including the traitorous Don Altabello in The Godfather 3 and the hilarious, half-blind hit-man Leon Little in the movie Tough Guys. He was one-of-a-kind. RIP. -- Al

Just as a matter of interest, Wallach's passing leaves only Robert Vaughn still living from the 8 main actors of The Magnificent Seven. -- Al

Wonderful actor: stage, screen, tv, you name it. The last role I remember him in was Wall Street II.
