Who died this date in 1994---with a link from one of our favorite blogs ever, EUROPEAN FILM STAR POSTCARDS:
IMPORTED FROM THE USA: BURT LANCASTER - Fame came to Burt Lancaster
(1913-1994) with his first film role, as the doomed Swede in Universal's
The Killers (1946), but the former circus acrobat knew better than to
leave his career in other hands. After less than two years in Hollywood,
Lancaster formed his own production company and took the lead in such
popular successes as the Technicolor swashbucklers The Flame and the
Arrow (1950) and The Crimson Pirate (1952), and the Western Vera Cruz
(1954). The athletic and handsome Lancaster remained a box office draw
for 20 years, winning a 1961 Academy Award for playing the corrupt
evangelist Elmer Gantry (1960). CLICK ON THE PHOTO, THEN READ MUCH MORE HERE
