I'm sure he died a few years back.

I'm not sad .... he lived many lives - we will live only one (some not even that) ... but, I did enjoy his Films.

'The Boston Strangler' showed his depth of acting ability.

I think he is the only person to have a hair style named after him - I know its a piece of utterly useless information , but it is true.

Great actor, with a huge range. Born into abject poverty, he became a Hollywood legend. RIP Tony.

It was the standard hair style in those days-to go with the teddy boy jacket, drain pipe trousers, and brothel creepers!
