no, he is not. Martin Landau was a very good actor who loved to play creeps. And he could play them very well! I am really surprised to read his name here. And I am, until further proof or more rumours and stories, not buying it.

I know people who knew him and telling just nice stories about him. When he died everyone was sad and full of love. He was long time married to his wife until they got divorced in 1993. But they still were meeting and working together after the divorce. Landau was teaching at the "actor's studio" for ages. No nasty rumours about him there. And he kept distance to the Hollywood cesspit - guess, that's why he preferred to be a teacher and to stay with this wife all those years. History tells he and his wife always wanted to get hired together for a movie/TV series - probably because he knew about the "Weinsteins" at the movie sets...

Of course I cannot swear he's not guilty of this allegation - but it's hard to imagine and I think we need more proof and digging. And until now, it's the first and only story like that I hear about him.

Just some thoughts: "Lethal victim" is from 1987. So Kelly (born 58) was young, but not a little child anymore. And Landau was in best age for midlife crisis. The marriage of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain was divorced in 1993 - and they did have some marriage problems in the 80ties. And the early 80ties were not best time for his career....

So, these are just some thoughts... which do not excuse, if Kelly tells the truth about this incident. But maybe this also could tell another story - a story, which also would not be a glorious chapter in Landau's life - but not make him a notorious rapist and pedo.

Now, downvote, if you want. But we always should be careful with labelling people as pedos and creeps. Maybe some of them are (sometimes) just weak men in bad situations.
