(Variety) – Austrian-born actor Maximilian Schell, a fugitive from
Adolf Hitler who became a Hollywood favorite and won an Oscar
for his role as a defense attorney in “Judgment at Nuremberg,”
has died.

Schell’s agent, Patricia Baumbauer, said Saturday he died
overnight at a hospital in Innsbruck following a “sudden and
serious illness.”

regularly appear at horror flick conventions. Lisa studied literature and Louise
became a microbiologist.
