A rivet-eyed, onetime prelim fighter from the Pennsylvania coal country, Palance (né Palahnuik) gave terrifying performances in Shane and Sudden Fear, has since become the hottest heavy in Hollywood. His face alone, as thin and cruel as a rust-pitted spade, is enough to-frighten a strong man; and to make matters worse, he seems to emit hostile energy, like something left overnight in a plutonium pile...
