RIP: James Garner aka Bret Maverick

[asu66]

Here we go again. One of the best of the TV era western series actors, James Garner, was found dead in his home yesterday evening. This one hurts anybody who grew up in the 60s and 70s. RIP, Jim.

Sorry to hear this. I still like to catch Rockford Files reruns from time to time.

One of my all time favorite actors --- great in TV and movies ---

[appfanz]

I was actually dreading this day.

[moehler]

wonderful actor, loved him in the great escape

IMO - His best role was in Barbarians at the Gate. He had some hilarious one liners.

[HkyMtneer]

This will surely sound corny but I really enjoyed him and Jack Lemmon in "My Fellow Americans" and my girlfriend knows him best from "The Notebook".

[moehler]

ya, remember Barbarians at the Gate, great movie, if you get a chance watch it.

Skin Game, 1971. He and Louis Gosset Jr. had me in tears. He will be missed!

And a lot of these were out there as well. Most folks were at one time convinced that these two were husband and wife.

He was great in the Great Escape and everything western. One of my fav's.

Feel like a part of me has gone.

My grandfather who was a professional heavyweight boxer(fought Max Baer and Joe Louis)became an actor after he left the ring. He was actually in an episode of Maverick with James Garner. Had nothing but great things to say about the man. Actually gets beat up in fight with Garner in the episode, which wouldn't have occurred in real life .

Below is another "bad ass" during the day (50s and 60s):

Garner was married for 56 years to the same lady. Ya don't see that much in Hollywood. He was just as advertised. A fine citizen and family man first and a fine actor second...
