BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Horst Buchholz, a German actor whose film roles ranged from a gunslinger in "The Magnificent Seven" and a Nazi doctor in "Life is Beautiful," died Monday of pneumonia. He was 69.
Buchholz, who was recovering from a broken thighbone, died in intensive care at the Charite hospital, spokeswoman Kerstin Ullrich said.
Dubbed "the James Dean of German films" for the rebellious teens he played in the late 1950s, Buchholz moved to the United States and scored his first Hollywood hit with a role in "The Magnificent Seven," the 1960 western with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and James Coburn.
