Charles Durning has been in at least a hundred films, he is a World War II hero,dancer and award-winning actor. Today we can honestly say Charles Durning has lived a storied life. The 85-year-old added to that tale a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next to one for his idol, James Cagney.

Charles Durning has always been one of my favorite actors, he’s so versatile with a very warm personality that comes through even when he’s playing a desperate man.  I am very happy for him.
