Eli Wallach

Eli Herschel Wallach (/ˈiːlaɪ ˈwɒlək/; December 7, 1915 –

June 24, 2014) was an American film, television and stage actor
Eli Wallach
whose career spanned more than seven decades, beginning in
the late 1940s. Trained in stage acting, which he enjoyed doing
most, he became "one of the greatest 'character actors' ever to
appear on stage and screen",[1] with over 90 film credits. He
and his wife Anne Jackson often appeared together on stage,
and were one of the best-known acting couples in American
theater. As a stage and screen character actor, Wallach had one
of the longest-ever careers in show business, spanning 62 years
from his Broadway debut to his last two major Hollywood
studio movies (which were released in the same year).

Wallach initially studied method acting under Sanford Meisner,

and later became a founding member of the Actors Studio,
where he studied under Lee Strasberg. He played a wide
variety of roles throughout his career, primarily as a supporting Wallach in 1976
actor.

Early life and military service

Eli Herschel Wallach was born on December 7, 1915, at 156 Union Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, a son
of Jewish immigrants Abraham and Bertha (Schorr) Wallach from Przemyśl (Poland). He had a brother and
two sisters.[3] He and his family were the only Jews in an otherwise Italian American neighborhood.[4][5]
His parents owned Bertha's Candy Store.[3] Wallach graduated in 1936 from the University of Texas with a
degree in history.[6] While there, he performed in a play with fellow students Ann Sheridan and Walter
Cronkite. In a later interview, Wallach said that he learned to ride horses while in Texas, explaining that he
liked Texas because "It opened my eyes to the word friendship... You could rely on people. If they gave
you their word, that was it ... It was an education."[7]

Two years later he received a master of arts degree in education from the City College of New York.[8][9]
He gained his first method acting experience at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New
York City, where he studied under Sanford Meisner.[10] There, according to Wallach, actors were forced to
"unlearn" all their physical and vocal mannerisms, while traditional stage etiquette and "singsong"
deliveries were "utterly excised" from his classroom.[11]

Wallach's education was cut short when he was drafted[3][12] into the United States Army in 1940.[13][14]
He served as a staff sergeant and medic[15] in a military hospital in Hawaii and later was sent to Officer
Candidate School (OCS) in Abilene, Texas, to train as a medical administrative officer.[13][15][16][17]
Commissioned as a second lieutenant, he was ordered to Casablanca. Later, when he was serving in
France, a senior officer noticed his acting career and asked him to create a show for the patients. He and his
unit wrote a play called Is This the Army?, which was inspired by Irving Berlin's This Is the Army. In the
comedy, Wallach and the other actors mocked Axis dictators, with Wallach portraying Adolf Hitler.[18]
Wallach was discharged as a captain following the war's end in 1945.[3][13][17] He was awarded the Army
Good Conduct Medal, the American Defense Service Medal, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic–
Pacific Campaign Medal, the European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and the World War II
Victory Medal.[13]

Career

Stage actor

Wallach took classes in acting at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School in New York City with the
influential German director Erwin Piscator. He later became a founding member of the Actors Studio,
taught by Lee Strasberg. There, he studied more method acting technique with founding member Robert
Lewis, and with other students including Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, Herbert Berghof, Sidney
Lumet, and his soon-to-be wife, Anne Jackson.[19] Wallach became Marilyn Monroe's first new friend
when she became a student at the Actors Studio, once insisting on watching him perform in The Teahouse
of the August Moon from the backstage wings, simply to see up close how experienced actors perform a
two-hour play.[20] She also became friends with his wife, Anne Jackson, also studying at the Studio, and
would visit the couple at their home and sometimes babysit their new child.[21]

In 1945 Wallach made his Broadway debut and he won a Tony Award in 1951 for his performance
alongside Maureen Stapleton in the Tennessee Williams play The Rose Tattoo.[22] His other theater credits
include Mister Roberts, The Teahouse of the August Moon, Camino Real, Major Barbara (in which
director Charles Laughton discouraged Wallach's established method acting style),[22] Luv, and Staircase,
co-starring Milo O'Shea, which was a serious depiction of an aging homosexual couple. He also played a
role in a tour of Antony and Cleopatra, produced by the actress Katharine Cornell in 1946.[23] He exposed
Americans to the work of playwright Eugène Ionesco in plays like The Chairs and The Lesson in 1958,
and in 1961 Rhinoceros opposite Zero Mostel.[22] He last starred on stage as the title character in Visiting
Mr. Green.[24]

The stage was where Wallach focused his early career. From 1945 to 1950
he and his wife, Anne Jackson, worked together acting in various plays by
Tennessee Williams. The five years following, he continued only working
on stage, not becoming involved in film work until 1956. During those
years, however, they were generally having a hard time making ends meet.
He recalls they were getting along on unemployment insurance and living
in a one-room, $35 a month apartment on lower Fifth Avenue in the
Village.[3] When he did get offered early movie parts, he turned them
down with no regrets, and very early in his career he explained his
reasoning:

What do I need a movie for? The stage is on a higher level in

every way, and a more satisfying medium. Movies, by With Maureen Stapleton in
comparison, are like calendar art next to great paintings. You The Rose Tattoo (1951)
can't really do very much in movies or in television, but the
stage is such an anarchistic medium.[3]

He said that the stage was what attracted him most and what he "needed" to do.[25] "Acting is the most
alive thing I can do, and the most joyous," he stated.[3]

Wallach and Jackson became one of the best-known acting couples in the American theater, as iconic as
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, and Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn,[22] and they looked for
opportunities to work together. During an interview, he said of Jackson, "I have tremendous respect and
admiration for her as an actress. . . we have a terrific working compatibility when we're in the same play,
especially when the play means something important to us."[3]: 159–160 When he did gravitate toward
accepting parts in films, he did so to "help pay the bills," he said, adding, "for actors, movies are a means to
an end."[26]

Despite the fact that he eventually acted in over 90 films and almost as many television dramas,[27] he
continued to accept stage parts throughout his career, often with Jackson. They played in comedies like The
Typists and The Tiger in 1963, and acted together in Waltz of the Toreadors in 1973. In 1978 they played in
a revival of The Diary of Anne Frank, along with their daughters, and in 1984 they acted in Nest of the
Wood Grouse, directed by Joseph Papp. Four years later, in 1988, they acted in a revival of Cafe Crown, a
portrait of the Yiddish theatre scene during its prime.[26] They continued acting together as late as 2000,
while he also took on roles alone throughout all those years.[26]
Film and television roles

Wallach's film debut was in Elia Kazan's controversial 1956

Baby Doll, for which he won the British Academy Film
Awards (BAFTA) as "Most Promising Newcomer."[28] Baby
Doll was controversial because of its underlying sexual theme.
Director Elia Kazan however, set explicit limits on Wallach's
scenes, telling him not to actually seduce Carroll Baker, but
instead to create an unfulfilled erotic tension.[29] Kazan later
explained his reasoning:

What is erotic about sex to me is the seduction, not

the act ... The scene on the swing with Eli Wallach Wallach and Carroll Baker in the swing
and Carroll Baker in Baby Doll is my exact idea of scene from Baby Doll
what eroticism in films should be.[30]

Wallach went on to a prolific career as "one of the greatest 'character actors' ever to appear on stage and
screen," notes Turner Classic Movies,[1] acting in over 90 films.[27] Having grown up on the "mean
streets" of an Italian American neighborhood,[31] and his versatility as a method actor, Wallach developed
the ability to play a wide variety of different roles, although he tried to not get pinned down to any single
type of character. "Right now I'm playing an old man," he said at age 84. But "I've been through all the
ethnic groups, from Mexican bandits to Italian Mafia heads to Okinawans to half-breeds, and now I'm
playing old Jews. Who knows?"[7]

Noting this versatility as a character actor, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences called him
"the quintessential chameleon," with the ability to play different characters "effortlessly,"[32] and L.A.
Times theater critic Charles McNulty saw Wallach's "power to illuminate" his various screen or stage
personas as being "radioactive."[31] The Guardian newspaper has written that "Wallach was made for
character acting," and includes movie clips from some of his most memorable roles in a tribute to him.[33]

In 1961, Wallach co-starred with Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift and Clark Gable in The Misfits,
Monroe's and Gable's last film before their deaths.[34][35] Wallach never learned why he was cast in the
film, although he suspected that Monroe had something to do with it.[21] Its screenwriter, Arthur Miller,
who was married to Monroe at the time, said that "Eli Wallach is the happiest good actor I've ever known.
He really enjoys the work."[1]

Some of his other films included The Lineup (1958), Lord Jim (1965) with Peter O'Toole, a comic role in
How to Steal a Million (1966), again with O'Toole, and Audrey Hepburn, and as Tuco (the 'Ugly') in
Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) with Clint Eastwood, followed by other Spaghetti
Westerns, such as Ace High. At one point, Henry Fonda had asked Wallach whether he himself should
accept a part offered to him to act in a similar Western, Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), which would
also be directed by Leone. Wallach said "Yes, you'll enjoy the challenge," and Fonda later thanked Wallach
for that advice.[36]

Wallach and Eastwood became friends during the filming of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and he
recalled their off-work time together: "Clint was the tall, silent type. He's the kind where you open up and
do all the talking. He smiles and nods and stores it all away in that wonderful calculator of a brain."[37] In
2003 Wallach acted in Mystic River, produced and directed by Eastwood, who once said "working with Eli
Wallach has been one of the great pleasures of my life."[1]
A pivotal moment in Wallach's career came in 1953, when he, along with Frank Sinatra and Harvey
Lembeck, tried out for the role of Maggio in the film From Here to Eternity. Sinatra biographer Kitty Kelly
notes that while Sinatra's test was good, it had none of the "consummate acting ability" of Wallach.
Producer Harry Cohn and director Fred Zinnemann were "dazzled" by Wallach's screen test and wanted
him to play the part. However, Wallach had previously been offered an important role in another Tennessee
Williams play, Camino Real, to be directed by Elia Kazan, and turned down the movie role. Wallach said
that when he learned that the play had finally received financing, he "grabbed" the opportunity: "It was a
remarkable piece of writing by the leading playwright in America and it was going to be directed by the
country's best. There really wasn't much of a choice for me."[38] The film, however, went on to win eight
Academy Awards, including one for Sinatra, which revived his career. Wallach recalled afterwards,
"Whenever Sinatra saw me, he’d say, 'Hello, you crazy actor!'"[4] Wallach, however, claimed to have no
regrets.

Film historian James Welsh states that during Wallach's career, he appeared in most of the "prestige"
television dramas during the "Golden Age" of the 1950s, including Studio One, The Philco Television
Playhouse, The Armstrong Circle Theatre, Playhouse 90, and The Hallmark Hall of Fame, among others.
He won the 1966–1967 Emmy Award for his role in the telefilm The Poppy is Also a Flower.[5][39] In
2006 Wallach appeared on NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, playing a former writer who was
blacklisted in the 1950s. His character was a writer on The Philco Comedy Hour, a show that aired on a
fictional NBS network. This is a reference to The Philco Television Playhouse, in several episodes of
which Wallach actually appeared in 1955. Wallach earned a 2007 Emmy nomination for his work on the
show.[40]

During the filming of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Wallach nearly
died three times. Once, he accidentally drank a bottle of acid which was
placed next to his pop bottle; another time was in a scene where he was
about to be hanged, someone fired a pistol which caused the horse
underneath him to bolt and run a mile while Wallach's hands were still tied
behind his back; in a different scene with him lying on a railroad track, he
was close to being decapitated by steps jutting out from the train.[41]

Wallach appeared as DC Comics' supervillain Mr. Freeze in the 1960s

Wallach at the 2010 TCM
Classic Film Festival
Batman television series. He said that he received more fan mail about his
role as Mr. Freeze than about all of his other roles combined.[42] He played
Gus Farber in the television miniseries Seventh Avenue in 1977, and 10
years later, at the age of 71, he starred alongside Michael Landon in
Highway to Heaven episode "A Father's Faith". Three years later, he
played aging mob boss Don Altobello in the Francis Ford Coppola's The
Godfather Part III.

On November 13, 2010, at the age of 94, Wallach received an Academy Honorary Award for his
contribution to the film industry from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[43] A few years
prior to that event, Kate Winslet told another audience that Wallach, with whom she acted in The Holiday
in 2006,[44] was one of the "most charismatic men" she'd met, and her "very own sexiest man alive."[32]

Wallach's final performance was in the short film The Train (2015). Wallach plays a Holocaust survivor
who, in a meeting, teaches a self-consumed and preoccupied young man that life can change in a moment.
The short was shot in early 2014 and premiered on August 6, 2015, at the Rhode Island International Film
Festival.

Between 1984 and 1997, he also performed voiceovers in a series of television commercials for the Toyota
Pickup.
Personal life
Eli Wallach was married to stage actress Anne Jackson for 66 years from March 5, 1948, until his death.
They had three children: Peter, Roberta, and Katherine. Roberta played an epileptic teenager in Paul
Zindel's The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds and appeared in several other movies.

Wallach was a strict teetotaler and once asked the director John Huston for advice on how to play a
"drunk" scene during the filming of The Misfits.

A few years before 2005, Wallach lost sight in his left eye as the result of a stroke.[32]

His niece is the historian Joan Wallach Scott (the daughter of his brother, Sam Wallach). A. O. Scott, a film
critic for The New York Times, is his great-nephew.[27]

Death
Wallach died on June 24, 2014, of natural causes at the age of 98. He was survived by his wife of 66 years,
three children, three grandchildren and a great-grandchild. His body was cremated.[26][45]

Katherine Wallach told The New York Times that Anne Jackson died on April 12, 2016, aged 90, at her
home in Manhattan.[46][47][48]
