and on the flip side of the coin

Lt. Mike Stone walked the streets of San Francisco for 21 years. He is not going to be doing that anymore.

For the same amount of time, Karl Malden pitched the catchphrase "Don't leave home without them" to worldwide audiences for American Express. He won't be doing that anymore.

Mladen Sekulovich who changed his name to Karl Malden, to accommodate a career in theater, passed away at age 97. Malden, who appeared in critically-acclaimed movies such as 'On The Waterfront' and 'A Streetcar Named Desire', won an Oscar and an Emmy in a long career in the movies, on Broadway and on television.

He was married to his wife Mona, who survives him, for 70 years.
