Yes, Charles Durning was in Queen of the Stardust Ballroom, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, among many, many others. (Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and The Sting also come to mind.)

A fine actor, who pretty much kept working right up until the end.


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."
