But by that time he already had a deep resume in Hollywood, including appearances in such classics as "North by Northwest," "Cleopatra" and his Oscar-nominated role in "Tucker."

Before his death, he was the oldest living Academy-Award winner for the supporting actor category.

Landau died Saturday afternoon at UCLA Medical Center after a short hospitalization, his publicist said.

He had been working on a still-untitled memoir and a documentary is already underway about his life entitled "An Actor's Actor: The Life of Martin Landau."
