FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
BIO
A character
actor with a reserved intensity and often a mystique that belied his
everyday appearance. Landau made a name for himself with a masterful
supporting role in
Alfred Hitchcock's seminal
North by Northwest
in 1959, and followed up with another fine performance in Joseph
Mankiewicz's gargantuan production
Cleopatra.
After focusing primarily on TV work and only appearing occasionally in
film during the 1970s and early 1980s, Landau enjoyed a remarkable
career resurgence in the late 1980s and 1990s, starting with his Academy
Award nominated performances in
Francis Ford Coppola's
Tucker: The Man and His
Dream and
Woody Allen's
Crimes and Misdemeanors. He then
won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi
in Tim Burton's
Ed Wood (1994). Landau remained in high demand for the
rest of his career and continued working steadily until his death at age
89 in 2017.
