Richard Widmark was an American actor who starred in over 60 Hollywood films during his 44-year career. Widmark made his debut in the 1947 thriller Kiss of Death in which he played the psychopathic killer Tommy Udo who, in the film's most memorable scene, gleefully pushes a disabled woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs to her doom. The sneer which Widmark patented in Kiss of Death appeared in many other movies, many of them, such as The Street with No Name, Night and the City, and Pickup on South Street, which helped define the cinematic style known as "film noir." Widmark also starred in such film classics as No Way Out (1950), How the West Was Won (1960), The Alamo (1960), Judgment at Nuremburg (1961), The Swarm (1978) and Against All Odds (1984). Widmark died in Roxbury, Connecticut on March 24, 2008, at the age of 93.
