I believe he followed Brando as the lead of the Elia Kazin
directed Broadway version of 'Streetcar Named Desire.'

Imagine Palance shouting 'STELLLAAAA!'

Even his inhalations carried impact. Always made characters of his characters. So long, big guy!

A very interesting fellow. I assume you saw an extended obit, mentioning his career of being a poet, painter, boxer, and even sportswriter for the SF Chronicle! I won't say Renaissance Man, but he was multi-talented to be sure.
How do you prepare for the end of the world?
