Check out Maximilian Schell’s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
Maximillian Schell, is the # 86 most connected actor of the 1970’s.
I was planning to do a video on Maximilian Schell at one time but I think all the European films in his filmography put me off, ditto Max Von Sydow.
I’ve seen 12 of the 42 films on the chart. Favorites are – A Bridge Too Far, Cross of Iron, The Young Lions, Krakatoa, Vampires, Deep Impact and The Black Hole.
It’s been ages since I last watched Judgment at Nuremberg, it’s not a favorite but worth a look for all the great actors. William Shatner is in there too and that makes it a keeper. 🙂
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
