I'm happy you mentioned his dying last week, (not because of his death) because I also do remember him dying a couple of years ago. I remember this was anounced on tv (8 o'c clock news here in the Netherlands) and they showed some footage and mentioned the character of Phil the Wire in the Lucky Luke comic who was Jack Palance as he appeared in many westerns.. the bad guy.

This is very intriguing, although admittedly I have no memory either way.  He was so old, so part of me feels like yeah, I can easily get a feeling around the idea of him already having died, I can imagine the scenario playing out and seeing the news, but yet I can't say that I have any actual concrete memories of it.   But that's only because he's not somebody of interest to me. 

I don't know...would be curious to read how many others remember him dying before. 

Reminds me of that other old famous dude that people here could have sworn died in Sri Lanka in the tsunami, but then some of us (myself included) clearly remembered news reports confirming he was indeed ok.  [EDIT:  Arthur C. Clarke....]  Memory's a weird thing, that's all I can say!

I could have sowrn that the lead singer from Depeche Mode had died from a heroin overdose and i was quite shocked to see Arthur C Clarke on TV as i could have sworn he died too. Strange though memory can be a funny thing.

I have to admit, I thought he had died years ago, too.  Strange...

I remember Palance because he could have given Christopher Walken a run for his money in the "naturally creepy" department.

I remember Jack Palance dying a few years ago. It seems distinct in my mind. I wasn't aware of him until I saw a movie called "Baghdad Cafe". I remember seeing him do a one arm pushup at The Oscars, I think it was. But yeah, I got a real twilight zone feeling yesterday when
I heard he'd supposedly died...again!  I seem to remember retrospective montages of his roles in Westerns,  and so forth. And the phrase "We'll miss you, Jack!" Huh. I'm going to read that
Tim Boucher article now.

Well that IS just freaky deaky, isn't it?  I just read the Tim Boucher article and it's not just him who remembers this...it's like, all his friends too!    Wow.    When I wrote in my initial post that I could imagine the scenario playing out, it's because it was this far away sort of "memory"...but yet I wouldn't necessarily call it that.  But the more that I'm reading everybody's input the more it seems to trigger some sort of something.  Hazy, but yeah, I get this sense of something to do with Jack Palance dying already.  Weird weird weird.

You know, I have actually experienced a timeloop memory, for lack of a better way to put it, and it was a scary moment because the implications about alternate realties and timeloops is overwhelming.  Especially the looping part, which is not entirely related to this topic, since this thread is more about the idea of alternate reality memories/parallel timelines.  But I know this stuff is real, so I wouldn't doubt if in another timeline/reality JP did already die, and for whatever reason, a chunk of the population still retains this distant, foggy memory....

Jack has died a couple times in my life and I've also had discussions on other message boards in previous years about him dying again. Time loop!
