One of the actors who took George Lucas' corny ass dialogue and elevated it to the level of a cultural touchstone for generations. Also his first film also happens to be my favorite one.

September 29, 20241 yr comment_944594 First off - we were lucky enough to see James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave in Driving Miss Daisy in 2011. From row 3 in a West End (London) play. Vanessa Redgrave is still alive and voice over acting still at 87. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/oct/06/driving-miss-daisy-theatre-review We were not lucky enough ever to see Maggie Smith on the stage though - although that is how she started out as an award winning stage actor in the West End and the RSC.

September 29, 20241 yr comment_944648 Oof. RIP Kris Kristofferson. We're down to one Highwayman(!) This is about the coolest live video in existence. "Oh, hey. It's Willie Nelson. He's got that funny off-beat way of singing. He sure is a legend, though. What? Kris Kristofferson? He never seemed to age, in spite of all he put his body through. Did you know he once stole a US army helicopter?? Wait, did I just hear the 'Next up on The Dukes' voice? That's The definitive article Outlaw Country singer right there. There is literally no way this song can get any better." "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" Report

October 25, 20241 yr comment_946287 I cannot think of another Los Angeles Dodger whose death would move me at all, but this is sad. I had heard he was ill because he wasn't broadcasting during the playoffs and he was only 63, which feels very different as close in age as I am. Plus, my dad threw primarily screwballs. RIP Fernando Report
