James Garner, dead at 86.

Man, I loved "The Rockford Files".

Hell, I think I liked everything I ever saw him in.

:sniff:

:blackr:

I can remember, when I was a kid, I had to go to bed when Momdigr did. But, on Thursdays (I think, or whatever night it came on) I would stay awake till "The Rockford Files" came on, I'd hear his phone ringing at the intro, then get up and sneak back to the living room and watch with Popdigr til it went off, then sneak back to bed.

One of my favorites, James Garner was certainly versatile. He further endeared himself by taking on roles in which his character was quick on the clever rather than quick on the trigger. A career well done.

Rockford files was so cool. He had that answering machine and the awesome trailer on the water.

Well, he had a trailer.

And it was on the water...

The answering machine was way before anyone had them in the real world.

But really, he was what made that show cool

He was a good one. Loved Rockford Files as well.

In everything he was in, he was funny and never full of himself.

RIP Dick Wagner.

Robin Williams is dead, apparently suicide.
:(

Damn. :sniff:

Only 63. Thought he was older.

Depression takes another one. People who can survive anything...ANYTHING...can not always survive depression. It's sneaky and mean and the perception of it has to change. It's a disease. No one would ask for it. No one who suffers from it can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and put on a happy face. Not even a comedic talent such as Robin Williams. They can try and try and try. Sometimes they can make it. Often they do not.

My heart breaks.

Nanoo Nanoo, Mr Williams. I thought you were one who humor could help.

This is just so fucking sad. :(

Sorry to hear this news. His poor family .
