Born in New York City on December 7, 1915, Wallach trained in method acting under Sanford Meisner and became a founding member of the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg. He won a Tony Award for The Rose Tattoo in 1951, then made his screen debut in Baby Doll (1956), taking home a BAFTA for Best Newcomer. What followed was Calvera in The Magnificent Seven, Guido opposite Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits, and the role that would shadow him forever: Tuco in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Over 90 films carried him through the decades - from How the West Was Won to The Godfather Part III to late-career turns in The Holiday and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. He died June 24, 2014, five months after his wife Anne Jackson - the woman he'd shared stages with for most of his working life.
