HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Richard Widmark, who made a sensational film debut as the giggling killer in "Kiss of Death" and became a leading man in "Broken Lance," "Two Rode Together" and 40 other films, died at his home in Roxbury after a long illness. He was 93.

Widmark's wife, Susan Blanchard, said he died Monday. She would not provide details of his illness and said funeral arrangements are private.

"It was a big shock, but he was 93," Blanchard said.

Amen. I always thought he was a terrific actor, but I didn't know what a cool, decent,down-to-earth, un-Hollywood man he was until I read his obit this morning.

He was 93, and "it was a big shock".

(Something tells me they better read the Mrs his last will and testament a little slower than normal).

Maybe they meant it was a big shock to make it that long? I know I will be
