Even though Eli had a preference for stage acting over acting on film, he never had a bad attitude when the cameras stopped rolling. Everyone that worked with Eli considered him to be one of the kindest actors of his day. Given that kindness has always been an uncommon trait amongst actors, Eli stood out to his coworkers. Among those that have praised Eli over the years are Arthur Miller and Clint Eastwood. Eli met Arthur Miller while acting in a film that the latter had scripted, and met Clint while appearing alongside him in 1966’s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Eli’s turn as Tuco, aka “the Ugly”, in Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly has arguably gone down in history as the actor’s most memorable role. However, the actor continued working both on the stage and on the screen for many decades afterward. Eli’s final acting gig was in the short film The Train, which was released in 2015.
Eli married actress Anne Jackson in 1948, and the two remained married until Eli’s 2014 death. The two had been married for 66 years. Anne passed away two years after her husband, and their three children survived the couple. Join Facts Verse as we examine Eli Wallach’s life and death.
