Counting one-two-three, I already have counted in Horst Buchholz (from the Mag 7 fame). He was probably more popular over here than in the English speaking world. Buchholz lived most of his time in a winter resort of Switzerland, actually not too far away from where I live, and I kept telling myself, one day I'm gonna look him up (a friend of mine did, and Buchholz was quite friendly) - and now I never did. Anyway, when he passed away, we already asked ourselves the (respectful) who's-next-question over here.

Another sad day.
In her biography, "I" she shared her fond memories of working with JW, describing him, not unlike Eula Goodnight in that last scene of "Rooster Cogburn", as a very descent human being. She said he remembered her of Spence.

I have just watched Duel in the Sun, and wasn't he great as the spoiled yet charming western outlaw?

I would have liked to see JW and Peck acting together. Have you ever noticed that director Henry Hathaway choose the same spot for Peck's scene in "How the West Was Won" - when he is working on a covered wagon with Debbie Reynolds and breaks into laughter because he got his hands dirty - as for the Fill you hands-scene with JW, 7 years later?

That leaves just Kirk Douglas as one of the great male stars.
