Yes, all the good ones are going now. Schell was well-deserving of that Oscar for portraying a lawyer defending the most loathsome types in JUDGMENT, a role that many actors might find quite hard to do (IMHO).

He was a really fine actor, always brought great presence and style and ability to whatever he was in. Certainly will be missed.

Another good film he was in was the 1977 Sam Peckinpah World War II opus CROSS OF IRON, where he played an ambitious but somewhat cowardly German soldier out to earn the coveted Iron Cross during the German/Russian part of the war. He was in it with such solid fellow actors as James Coburn, David Warner, and James Mason.

I didn't know that he was also a concert pianist and conductor.
