Eli Wallach

Wallach was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Jewish family. He graduated from The University Of Texas At Austin but gained his first Method experience at the Neighborhood Playhouse .

Wallach made his Broadway debut in 1945 and won a Tony Award in 1951 . His film debut was instantly accomplished in Elia Kazan 's controversial '' Baby Doll '' and he went on to become a prolific player, although rarely in a starring role he was memorable in many of his early films, especially '' The Misfits '', '' The Magnificent Seven '' and as Tuco (the 'Ugly') in Sergio Leone 's '' The Good, The Bad And The Ugly ''. He also continued to work on the stage as well as doing made-for-TV films.

He has been married to acclaimed stage actress Anne Jackson (born 1926) since March 5 , 1948 , and they have three children: Peter, Katherine and Roberta.

TRIVIA

Although his '' The Magnificent Seven '' character (Calvera) and the rest of his bandits are eventually defeated in that film, he has ironically outlived all of the seven stars, except for Robert Vaughn who is still alive as of 2006 , despite being older than all of them besides Yul Brynner .

In ''. He mentioned that he didn't realize he was going to be "blessed" with that title until he saw the film. He mentioned it was an honor to work with Clint Eastwood , whom he praised for his professionalism. Wallach mentioned, however, that director Sergio Leone was notoriously careless in ensuring the safety of his actors during dangerous scenes. It was during filming that Wallach almost died when he accidentally drank from a bottle of acid that a film technician had carelessly placed next to his soda bottle. Wallach said that Eastwood sprang to his aid and washed his mouth out.

He is the subject of the song "Eli Wallach", on the album ''(Methods of Getting Rid of) Hiccups'' by Australian singer/songwriter Darren Hanlon .
