Richard Widmark: RIP (age 93)

Richard Widmark as toomy Udo, Kiss of Death (1947) [1]Richard Widmark has died at age 93.  A great actor but could never match his debut performance:

March 26 ( [1]Bloomberg [2]) — Richard Widmark [3], the actor whose first movie role as a sneering psychopathic killer overshadowed his six-decade career playing gunfighters, lawmen, doctors and even a president, has died. He was 93

Then I hold that color and the end of film noir caused irrevesable damage to Widmark’s career.   Color didn’t do him too bad as Jim Bowie in The Alamo [4].  Filmography [5].

Addendum:
