LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Actor Jack Palance, who won an Oscar with his comedic self-parody in 1991's "City Slickers," died Friday.

Sad, yes but there are some interesting facts in this story I didn't know about the guy. And some good quotes:
"Most of the stuff I do is garbage," he once told a reporter, adding that most of the directors he worked with were incompetent, too. "Most of them shouldn't even be directing traffic," he said.
He was a professional heavyweight boxer in the early 1940s.
Palance was wounded in World War II and received a Purple Heart.
His acting break came after the war as Marlon Brando's understudy in "Streetcar Named Desire."
