MAX VON SYDOW, a seven-decade career

AN ODE TO LONGEVITY, RIP Max Von Sydow.

The Swedish actor, 90, died today. He had a seven-decade career, from Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957) , where he was a knight who plays chess with Death, to William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973), where he was the priest, and many, many, many more tormented, sinister, cool roles.
