Eli Wallach as The Ugly in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

Eli Wallach gets one too, about damn time! Too bad the writer of the article was too lazy to check IMDB and figure out that Eli Wallach was also in Coppola's Godfather III, and he stole every damn scene he had. Is it too much to ask reporters to spend a couple of minutes researching the material they are writing about?
