After three rapid-fire film industry deaths this week already, Joe Mantell, who had over 70 film credits, including Marty and Roman Polanski's Chinatown, in which he delivered the immortal closing line "Forget it, Jake; it's Chinatown", has died at 94; Mantell had not appeared onscreen since 1990's Chinatown sequel The Two Jakes, but that one line could have been the only acting he ever did and he'd still be part of film history.
