Schwarzenegger Plays a Hoodlum
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today offered his condolences to the family of Robert Altman, the legendary director of "MASH," "The Player," "Nashville" and other great films. Altman died last night at age 81.
In his statement, Schwarzenegger mentioned that he worked with Altman on "The Long Goodbye," the 1973 film in which he played a hoodlum who tries to shake down detective Philip Marlowe. (In the movie, Marlowe threatens to call Gov. Ronald Reagan when police don't believe his story.) The future California governor is uncredited in the role. It was only his second appearance in a major film, after "Hercules in New York."
