The late actor Jack Palance was nothing like his usually villainous onscreen persona, says his widow Elaine Palance, and her Boerne home is filled with memoribilia, art and antiques that remind her of the couple’s 30 years together.
“Jack was nothing like the bad guys you saw him play,” Elaine Palance, 70, said recently during an interview at her home in Boerne, where she moved to be near friends and family after the actor’s 2006 death of natural causes at age 87. “Each piece I have here is like a memory.”
Signs of Jack are all over Elaine’s home, where she talked about her late husband for a feature on our premium site, Express-News.com.
Among the highlights:
A painting of the actor in the title role of the 1974 film “Dracula” on a rearing stallion.
A wood wall hanging carved by a fan and sent to the actor. Titled “Prove It,” it depicts a crucial scene in “Shane” when Palance’s character Jack Wilson, an unscrupulous gunfighter, taunts and kills an ex-Confederate homesteader.
An abstract white marble carving about the size of a football that looks a bit like a dove in flight. It was a gift from Michael Wilding Jr., Elizabeth Taylor’s son, who married Jack Palance’s daughter Brooke.
