Actor Karl Malden -- perhaps best known for his role as Detective Mike Stone in the '70s TV series "The Streets of San Francisco" starring opposite Michael Douglas -- has passed away at 97, the Associated Press reports.
Malden won an Oscar for his role in the 1951 film "A Streetcar Named Desire" as Harold 'Mitch' Mitchell, and was president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences from 1989-92.
In addition to being an American Express pitchman in the '70s and '80s and starring in such big-screen classics as 'On the Waterfront,' 'How the West Was Won' and 'Patton,' the actor also had a cameo in the critically acclaimed TV show "West Wing" in 2000, where he played Father Thomas Cavanaugh.
