Malden also played Gen. Omar Bradley opposite <a href="/people/025/000022956/">George C. Scott</a>'s <I>Patton</i>. In <I>Baby Doll</i> (1956), he played a horny husband whose gorgeous wife (Carroll Baker) refused to have sex with him. The film was condemned nearly pornographic by the Catholic church, for its shocking portrayal of young lust, but by present standards it's hardly titillating. <p> President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science from 1989 to 1993.<p><hr width=25% size=1 align=left><a name="FN1"><font size=-1>[1] <a href="/people/553/000022487/">Karl Malden</a> and Carla Malden, <i>When Do I Start?</i> (1997), page 15. </font><p><b>Wife:</b> Mona Greenberg (actress, "Mona Graham", m. 1938, two daughters)<br><b>Daughter:</b> Carla<br><b>Daughter:</b> Mila<br><p> <a href="/org/969/000205354/">Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences</a> President (1989-93)<br> <a href="/org/208/000135800/">Young Musicians Foundation</a> Celebrity Director<br> <a href="/honors/860/000048716/">Oscar for Best Supporting Actor</a> 1952 for <i>A Streetcar Named Desire</i><br> <a href="/honors/534/000044402/">Emmy</a> 1985 for <i>Fatal Vision</i><br> <a href="/honors/312/000044180/">Hollywood Walk of Fame</a> 6231 Hollywood Blvd. (motion pictures)<br> Endorsement of <a href="/company/028/000051872/">American Express</a> 1975<br> <a href="/lists/487/000050337/">Serbian Ancestry</a> Paternal<br> <a href="/lists/924/000082678/">Czech Ancestry</a> Maternal<br> <p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TELEVISION</font><br> <a href="/tv/674/000049527/">The Streets of San Francisco</a> Det.
