I loved Streets of San Francisco when I was a kid & of course those American Express commercials. Whenever I used traveller's checks while I was on business, I thought of his warning: DON'T leave home without them! RIP Karl. Karl Malden was one of a kind.

So many great performances. My favorite -- SKAG -- TV series with Piper Laurie (as his wife). One of those TV series that was too good for TV. A great and gifted actor. So many great performances.

He was able to transform "Don't leave home without them" into a dire warning. RIP. He had great screen presence and a distinctive voice and could be quite funny.

I heard Michael Douglas once say that Karl Malden taught him so much about being a professional in acting. He said between Karl and his father Kirt, he couldn't have had better teachers. Gosh, what a world of difference between this guy and the circus around M Jackson. It makes me want to see "On the Waterfront" once again. The Streets is one of my all time favorite tv shows. It reminded me of Steve McQueen's Bullit. Thanks! The Streets of San Francisco was where I really got to know Karl, then thru years his wonderful performaces in the mentioned films.
