He was one of nicest guys you would meet . we got used to seeing him around Conyngham especially on Sundays during the flea market at the bowling alley . You almost forgot who he really was in fact 1 time while i was in the boy scouts in the 80's he let us camp for the weekend on his farm . This man was a genuine good soul.

Met the man once out of the blue at a restaurant I was managing. He was travelling for Kansas City to St. Louis and stopped with his manager for dinner. He was very gracious and met all of his fans and gave autographs to all that wanted them. When he paid for his dinner I apologized for the customers and employees bothering him. He told me "Son I never turn away a fan, they are the reason I have gotten to where I am today." he was most cordial and gracious in his attitude and in his demeanour. RIP Mr. Palance you will always be remembered.

Holly Palance was two years behind me at Beverly Hills High and in my best friend's class. Jack would always come to school events and was the nicest, most gentle man and very loving father. I have nothing but admiration for him on all counts.

I like how Jerry points out that his father lived long enough to see his son succeed, I think that really means a lot to a father.

Uncle Jack was always good to me as a kid. RIP uncle Jack.

I couldnt wait to watch Jack Palance in City Slickers! He was an awesome actor throughout the years. My co-worker and friend actually knew Mr. Palance as a neighbor and said he was a very nice man. Rest in Peace Mr. Palance.

Jack was the Real Deal one of my Favorite Actors. One Arm push-ups in his 70's unreal, he is a true bad ass.

I have always loved and admired Mr. palance!But after watching this video I have a whole lot more admiration for him because of the stance he took against Soviet union and the love for his motherland❤️ Rest In Peace.

I'm so glad that his dad lived to see Jack become a star. JP was a favorite of mine. Thanks, Jerry. You always hit it out of the park.

Man Jack was a man's, man. I still remember him doing one arm push ups. He was such a great actor.

One of my fav actors of all time That face Is undeniable…….his voice made your hairs stand up….. His eyes penetrated your very soul…..this man was the baddest of them all 🔥💯❤️ wonderful actor and gentlemen

A great actor. His TV roles alone would guarantee him immortality.

Actors like this, who have lived decently, are almost all gone now.

No one could have played the Jack Wilson character in the iconic western "Shane" the way Palance did it! About twelve lines of text, the rest body language - so frightening, that even the dogs would crawl away whimpering. A perfect "bad guy" if ever there was one. But also so much more...

My mother went to college with him in the 1940s. Even then she said he had this Presence about him and that he was going to go far in Acting. Respects. RH DDS

My mother in law was his private nurse. He once picked up my little girl and gave her one of his Teddy bears. Jack was a sweet man.

Jack Palance did a movie in the 80's in which he said he loved and played himself as a character... "Bagdad Cafe", truly a charming well done story about podunk town in the Western desert, and the eccentric characters who lived there. Palance fits in perfectly in this ensemble masterpiece.

i met him in a cafe in Switzerland in 19 60 what struck me then and i will never forget it was a super gentle person he was... a gentle giant. quietly spoken and so friendly. i still have his autograph . Thank you for this super tribute to a great man.

Jack's favourite line when speaking about becoming an actor......."with a face like mine, I couldn't sell insurance now could I?"

Both Jack and Charles Bronson were born into coal mining Ukrainian in PA, and escaped poverty and became famous through sheer hard work and talent. RIP Jack and Charlie!

Jack WAS the man. He remembered his roots which is wonderful. Great in Shane. Wow. Real dude. Real man.

I'll never understand why anyone would give Jerry's videos a thumbs down. Another gem documentary, Jerry!!

When Jack played a bad guy, audiences believed him to be the baddest. RIP

I greatly admired Jack Palance as an actor and a real-life human being. Several people have mentioned his film called "Attack." This war movie about a small infantry unit during WWII's Battle of the Bulge is one of my favorite films. I've always marveled at the roles played by both Jack Palance and Eddie Albert. They were superb, playing characters totally the opposite of the roles and characters they generally played during their long careers. For once, Palance was the hero/protagonist, tough and gritty, but really a truly principled and honest man, committed to welfare of his fellow soldiers, and to the ideals that he needs to honor as an American, fighting against the Nazi bad guys. Albert also played the reverse of his usual "good guy" persona; you know, the Green Acres "swell feller" that was predictably the type-cast character role he always seemed to get. Instead, Albert excelled in his portrayal of a cowardly, untrustworthy, disloyal, slimy, evil opportunist, mainly out to make sure of his own survival, committed only to keeping himself safe while betraying any and all of the members of the unit. Both men did a superb job of bringing their characters to life. Without spoiling the story, the ending grinds to the inevitable crisis and climax. At the end, you are totally blown away by the results these two characters bring about, in stark contrast to their usual roles. It's a gripping war story, so if you get a chance to see Attack, be sure to do so. Both actors are superb, and it's a fine film.

Thanks for keeping our heroes alive Jerry!

Jack Palance, A TRUE American Icon that Loved His Country and Where His Family came from, Ukraine. A Man's Man.

I bow to you sir. Integrity above all else. Resting in the Universe.❤

He always did a really good job at playing a bad guy . Wonderful to hear he was so proud of his heritage, a man of honor . These day most "STAR'S " sell their soul's for any award or recognition. Well done as usual Mr. Skinner thank you .

Today's generation of actors have no backbone and character compared to people like Jack Palance. RIP.

Another incredible story told like no one else can. Jerry, well done Sir.💎

This ole boy was a good ole actor for sure seen a lot of his movies over the years but not the one you mentioned.Thank you Mr. Skinner

My parents too came from eastern Europe...pride in our heritage has always been important. People should never forget the fortitude and courage our parents and grandparents were born with and past on to us. God bless freedom loving people across the world.

Very nicely done tribute to Jack. I didn’t know he was from Pennsylvania, my grandfather was a coal miner in Pennsylvania too. I knew him from his cowboy movies but I really fell in love with his acting performance as Dracula, it was superb! May he Rest In Peace.

Another wonderful production about an amazing actor, done by the legend himself, Jerry Skinner! 🏆⭐

Another great documentary about a great American and an irreplaceable talent. Thanks, Jerry!

Jack Palance had a menacing look that made him a star. What a career ! Thank you for posting.

Thank You Mr. Skinner. Jack Palance was very underrated. He is one of my favorite and respected actors.

Considering what Stalin did to Ukraine his feelings are perfectly understandable. Another excellent documentary, thank you Mr. Skinner!

A VERY NICE TRIBUTE ABOUT JACK PALNCE..

Your stories are so respectful and well done. And your voice is so peaceful and gentle, it is a pleasure listening to you. Thank you.

Remember when Jack Palance did several push ups on stage at the academy awards that year . A very Fit man for his age . A great man and actor .

What a story!! Jack was a real movie great, right up with the best, and had a tough life to get there. Great strength and powerful, he was what a real tough actor cold ever be. One of my favorite actors of all time. R.I.P. Jack Palance, you really entertained millions and millions THANK YOU!!!!

I remember those one-handed push-ups that he did on stage that night. A man of much strength and vitality even into his silver years. Bless his soul.

Wonderful video... I could listen to your voice forever... thankyou...

Wow, never knew Jack Palance was a fellow Air Force veteran--which makes me admire him even more.

One of my all time favorite actors. A real man's man! So sad about his son getting cancer and dying so young. And his daughters, WOW!!! Those two women sure did get the good looks on the family! RIP Sir!!!

Awww another great gentleman of the films. RIP Jack. Thank you Jerry yet again for another truly brilliant bit of story telling. Big Hugs, stay safe. xxx

Very nice to hear an actual human being nsrrating! Excellent too! Jack Palance was a tough cookie! RIP Curley!

Thank you, Jerry. It is always a treat when you release a new video. I have watched most of them 2-3 times. Listening to your voice is like being with family and gives a warm feeling that is very relaxing. Wishing you and yours well.

Very touching tribute to one of my favourite actors. His voice had a pull for me and I just loved him. He played the bad guy so brilliantly and yet he was one of the nicest persons you would ever want to meet by all accounts. I watched every episode of Ripley's Believe It Or Not when I was growing up. Thank you for sharing this video and I will be sharing it for my friends to enjoy as well.

I always like Jack Palance. Both from PA and he died a couple miles away from where I live. Small world. Very nicely done. Thank you, Jerry!

Thank you Jerry. Your films often make me cry.

A very touching and nicely done tribute to a great man. Thank you. 🙂

Another stellar performance-Jerry. I really enjoyed it as Jack was always one of my favorites and really enjoyed him in the all star cast of The Professionals playing Raza the bandit o.

Always liked Jack,I would have to say he was one of my favorite actors. Thanks.

Jack - Good Man, Good Family Man. Loved him as an actor. Another Hollywood Great that will be missed. Thanks Jerry for another fine video!!!

What a great actor! Thanks so much! Sad he lost his son to cancer.

As always Jerry Skinner~Well done on bringing our long time heroes back to the lime light. I love and admire your respect for the stars who have left us. I grew up watching this great man on a lot of Westerns in the late 50's and early 60's. Thank you for taking a 70 year old woman down memory lane.

Seamless. Always a joy. Thank you, Jerry. Hugs

You have never had a bad one Jerry...But this one is one of your best! Thank-you so much!

A wonderful tribute to the late, great Jack Palance. Thank you.

This was a wonderful tribute to a man and actor I enjoyed my whole life. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful tribute Jerry! Jack was a wonderful talented man. So glad you choose to honor him.

Well done Jerry! Enjoyable as always. Mr Palance was the genuine article

Another fine video biography, Mr. Skinner! Thank you!

Thank you, Jerry, for making this video! I grew up watching Jack Palance in Westerns and other movies he is missed. God Bless you and yours, Jerry.

Jerry Skinner...thank you so much for your wonderful stories on these great actors. They were so unlike the actirs of today....they all seemed to come from humble beginnings and this made them of good value...not spoiled as many of the selfish individuals running hollywood at the moment.

Your work is incredible. Thank you very much for showing these artists background. All Great people. Not too much of that today.

I was 10 years old when I saw the movie Shane. I was as old as Brandon DeWilde who played the boy lead. George Stevens directed the movie to be seen through the eyes of a 10 year old boy. I fell in love with the film and Alan Ladd as my father figure hero but when Jack Palance appeared in the film I was in awe of his presence. He was so good as the gunslinger he stood out far and away the best actor of the star studded movie. Jack Palance has left an indelible impression on me forever. I miss him

I really enjoyed that, Jerry. A beautiful and informative tribute to a great and enduring film icon. I can remember watching Jack in Westerns when I was a boy. He had great presence and wonderful timing. He may have played a lot of villains in his great career, but that smile of his could really light up the screen. He'll never be forgotten.

beautifully presented Mr Jerry Skinner.

Jack was easily the most convincing and scariest vampire ever. His rendition of Dracula is the best!

I love Jerry's documentaries!

His country and his childhood made him what he became. Good actor.

I am working my way through all of Mr. Skinner's videos. Soon as there's a new one, I jump on it. Great work, Mr. Skinner!

My favorite KZfaq channel hands down........I could listen to Jerry give history lessons everyday all day........somehow he takes me back in time like I was really there as these peoples lives were playing out.

I always enjoy your KZfaq videos, Mr. Skinner. Many thanks. This is one of my all time favorite actors. My mother actually met the man back in 1989 at DFW airport. She told him how much she enjoyed his acting and he actually dropped down right there in front of her and did ten push ups.

I always Learn something new when I watch your videos, Thank You for all your Time and Devotion!

Great job Mr. Skinner!!! Best documentary I've ever seen and I'm 70 year old!!!!

Proud to be Ukrainian and work in the film industry. Mr. Palance is a great role model for my people. Thank you very much for this documentary ❤️

Jack Palance is one of my favorite actor's.

Thank you Jerry for a beautifully narrated life story of a lovely man/actor. R.I.P. Jack, N..

WELL DONE. HE GAVE ME MANY HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE -- ALMOST A HALF CENTURY; AND I'D SEEN MOST OF HIS FILMS.

@JerrySkinner: I really enjoyed your video on Jack Palance & his life. I am a long time fan since a child watching his westerns & beyond. I always loved his low key snide remarks that made others shake in their boots in the flicks. Even in "City Slickers." Haha! Thank you for sharing.
