Academy Award-winning actor Maximilian Schell has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Schell was an actor of Austrian-Swiss descent, with his first feature film role coming in 1955’s German production Children, Mothers & A General<\/em>. Schell made a number of films in Europe during the mid-50’s, before moving to America to take on Hollywood. His debut Hollywood feature was The Young Lions<\/em> (1958), opposite Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift. In 1959 he was cast to play a role in the TV adaption of Judgement At Nuremberg<\/em>, about the post-war Nazi tribunal set up to pass judgement on war crimes. Both he and fellow cast-mate Werner Klemperer were cast in the film version based on their performances. It was for the film version of Nuremberg<\/em> that Schell won the Best Actor Oscar in 1961.<\/p>\n

A prolific film-maker, particularly in Europe, he produced and appeared in a number of independent films throughout the years, as well as continuing to appear in many Hollywood productions – memorably in the Disney sci-fi flick The Black Hole<\/em>, a ship’s captain in Krakatoa<\/em>, and a role alongside Lawrence Olivier, Vanessa Redgrave and Terrence Howard in Peter the Great<\/em> (1986). He won a Golden Globe for his performance in Stalin<\/em> (as Vladimir Lenin), in 1992, and would appear as Tea Leoni’s father in Deep Impact<\/em>, in 1998.<\/p>\n

Mr Schell passed away suddenly in Innsbruck, Austria, on February 1st. He was 83.<\/p>\n
