LOS ANGELES – Anthony Franciosa, whose strong portrayals of moody, troubled characters made him a Hollywood star in the 1950s and 1960s but whose combative behavior on movie sets hampered his career, has died, his publicist said Friday.
Franciosa was part of a new wave in the mid-20th century who revolutionized film acting with their introspective, intensely realistic approach to their roles.
Franciosa's assertive attitude extended beyond movie stages; in 1957 he served 10 days in the Los Angeles County jail for slugging a press photographer.

 News Feature
Franciosa, who won a Golden Globe award for his performance in "Career," a movie about an actor who gives up everything for success, died on Thursday at the University of California at Los Angeles medical center with his wife of 38 years, Rita, at his bedside, the spokesman said.
Franciosa, whose easy-going manner concealed an inner aggression, was a member of the 1950s wave of actors trained at New York City's Actors Studio who changed the Broadway stage and Hollywood with their energy and a new "method" style of acting that drew heavily on personal experiences.
Franciosa has also starred in numerous TV-movies and recently was cast as mobsters, albeit with a veneer of class, as in Harold Becker's "City Hall" with Al Pacino and John Cusack.

Langel, who stepped into the role as Cosette in the Broadway production of "Les Misérables" while still in college -- and found herself back in the ensemble eight years later -- was shocked to find that performers who had been her inspiration still struggled.
There are stories of childhood dreams of fame, wardrobe and technical malfunctions, sudden amnesia, obsessed fans, tiny apartments infested with cockroaches (and ghosts), and the nightmare of arriving at the theater to find the show has closed.
