Of Ukrainian descent, Palance was born in Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania. He was the son of a coal miner. In the late 1930s, he started a professional boxing career. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance reportedly compiled a record of 15 consecutive victories with 12 knockouts.
With the outbreak of World War II, Palance's boxing career ended and he joined the military. Palance's rugged face, which took many beatings in the boxing ring, was disfigured when he bailed out of his burning B-24. Plastic surgeons repaired the obvious damage but left him with a distinctive, somewhat gaunt look. After much reconstructive surgery, he was discharged in 1944. Palance graduated from Stanford University in 1947 with a degree in Drama; during that time he worked several jobs while waiting for his big break into acting. In 1947, Palance made his Broadway debut, followed three years later by his screen debut, in the movie Panic in the Streets (1950). He was quickly recognized for his skill as a character actor, receiving an Academy Award nomination for only his third film role, as Lester Blaine in Sudden Fear. The following year, Palance was Oscar- nominated again, for his role as the evil gunfighter Wilson in Shane. Several other Western roles followed, but he would also play such varied roles as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, and Attila the Hun. In 1957, Palance won an Emmy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Mountain McClintock in the Playhouse 90 production of Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight. While still busy making movies, in the 1980s, Palance also co-hosted (with his daughter Holly Palance), the television series Ripley's Believe It or Not. Four decades after his film debut, Palance finally won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on March 30, 1992, for his performance as cowboy Curly Washburn in the 1991 comedy City Slickers.
Palance's first wife was Virginia Baker. They had three children: Holly, Brooke and Cody. In May 1987, Jack married Elaine Rogers. Palance painted and sold landscape art with a poem included on the back of each picture. He is also the author of The Forest of Love, a book of poems, published October 1, 1996, by Summerhouse Press. Jack was a passionate and diverse collector, amassing a huge eclectic collection of art and antiques. During his travels worldwide he would spend his time off the movie sets adding to his collections and would ship his items back to the United States.
His massive accumulation of art and antiques is currently housed at the Holly-Brooke Ranch in Tehachapi, California. In this fantastic auction appealing to the arts and antiques community as well as film history collectors, more than 2500 items (approximately 1,400 lots) will come under the hammer with no minimum or reserve.
