Born in Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, Palance served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. He attended Stanford University before pursuing a career in the theatre, winning a Theatre World Award in 1951. He made his film acting debut in Elia Kazan's ''Panic in the Streets'' (1950), and earned Oscar nominations for ''Sudden Fear'' and ''Shane'', his third and fourth-ever film roles. He also won an Emmy Award for a 1957 teleplay ''Requiem for a Heavyweight''.
Subsequently, Palance played a variety of both supporting and leading film roles, often appearing in crime dramas and Westerns. Beginning in the late 1950s, he would work extensively in Europe, notably in a memorable turn as a charismatic-but-corrupting Hollywood mogul in Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film ''Contempt''. He played the title character in the 1973 television film ''Bram Stoker's Dracula'', which influenced future depictions of the character. During the 1980s, he became familiar to a new generation of audiences by hosting the television series ''Ripley's Believe It or Not!'' (1982-86). His newfound popularity spurred a late-career revival, and he played high-profile villain roles in the blockbusters ''Young Guns'' (1988) and ''Tango & Cash'' (1989), and culminating in his Oscar and Golden Globe-winning turn as Curly in ''City Slickers''.
Off-screen, he was involved in efforts in support of the Ukrainian American community and served as a chairman of the Hollywood Trident Foundation. He continued to act in films until his death from cancer in 2006, at the age of 87. Provided by Wikipedia
