Legendary actor Karl Malden passed away yesterday.

Born  Mladen Sekulovich, Malden won an Academy Award for his performance as Mitch in A Streetcar Named Desire, and was nominated for Golden Globe and Emmy awards for his role as Detective Lt. Mike Stone in 1970s cop drama, The Streets of San Francisco.

Other notable roles include an Oscar nominated performance in On the Waterfront; Baby Doll; and Patton.

Malden died of natural causes at his home in Brentwood. He was 97 years old.

My prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends.
