Cult-icon actor Udo Kier passed away just yesterday.
He played in every kind of movie, from horror-schlocks "Mark Of The Devil" (1970) and "Flesh For Frankenstein" (1973), to R. W. Fassbinder's drama "Lili Marleen" (1981), to blockbuster "Ace Ventura" (1994) with Jim Carrey, to "Barb Wire" (1996) with Pamela Anderson, to Rob Zombie's "Halloween" and Dario Argento's "Mother Of Tears" (both 2007), and many, many more. Udo Kier took on many roles, big and small, demanding and trivial, and was never afraid to lend his talent to both very commercial, major productions, as well as low-budget and niche films. Through his varied work, he became a highly respected actor, and beloved cult-icon with a unique screen presence, the successful fusion of personality, independence, art, elegance, skills, and commerce.
