A fine actor, and anything he appeared in was, IMO, worth seeing.
I remember a story he told many years ago during a TV interview:
It was commonly known that when he was quite young (three years old), he lost his right eye due to a malignancy. Afterwards, he wore a glass replacement. As a young man, he was playing in a baseball game and was called "out" by an umpire when he felt he was clearly "safe," having beaten both the ball and the tag by the opposing player. He removed his glass eye and offered it to the umpire, saying "You need this more than I do!"
R.I.P.
Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
