Jack Palance, the craggy-faced menace in "Shane," "Sudden Fear" and other films who turned successfully to comedy in his 70s with his Oscar-winning self-parody in "City Slickers," died Friday.
Palance died of natural causes at his home in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by family, said spokesman Dick Guttman. He was 87.
When Palance accepted his Oscar for best supporting actor he delighted viewers of the 1992 Academy Awards by dropping to the stage and performing one-armed push-ups to demonstrate his physical prowess.
"That's nothing, really," he said slyly. "As far as two-handed push-ups, you can do that all night, and it doesn't make a difference whether she's there or not."

He was an outstanding actor that will be sorely missed.

That's too bad. I read about his life and it's quite interesting to see all the things he's done. He actually had plastic surgery to repair his burnt face from a plane accident, which is why he's got that unique facial structure. I always assumed it was naturally masculine like that. Good ol' Curly...
