American actor Richard Widmark passed away a couple of days ago at age 93.
He said something once I wish today's celebrities would take to heart: "I think a performer should do his work and then shut up."

Who?
Anonymous, Richard Widmark was an actual great actor. Run, don't walk, to the video store and rent "Panic in the Streets", "Judgment at Nuremberg", "Kiss of Death" and "Madigan", just to start.
Good choices, rondi. Richard Widmark was also in "Coma," one of my favourite Michael Crichton films.
Also great in Murder on the Orient Express.
