    Thats really quite incredible. One of the reasons that films stands out still today and everybody remembers it. Makes me hate the CGI of today even more.

    Awful news. Searching for Sugarman really was brilliant.

    A true classicist of the New Hollywood era and also one of its top stylists - you knew a Willis film when you were looking at one. More low key than some others of that era - he dealt in subtle shades rather than "dramatic" colour and lighting but no less talented clearly.

    He was also older than all but one (Brynner) of the Magnificent Seven, but survived all but one of them (Vaughan).

    Total legend. He cropped up totally unrecognisable to me in How To Steel A Million too. He's actually a real chameleon.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ Sara Sticky Possum


    Pretty much the last of the old great cinema stars, bar Kirk Douglas there's no one of any real note left. He was one of cinemas finest actors whom never really received the recognition he deserved. Think I'll throw on the Magnificent Seven later on today, been meaning to rewatch it for awhile but the mood hasn't hit me. Think that followed by the episode of Murder She Wrote that he was in.

    Eli Wallach a great actor.

    Didn't know that! Guardian film pages (my usual haunt) are so full of fanboy superhero crap these days actual hard news slips by.

    He directed one of my favourite films - Harry and Tonto (1974) about an elderly man (and his cat) in New York who embark on a winding journey to see his son (Larry Hagman) in California. He really should have become a solid A grade director but hit the buffers after An Unmarried Woman apart from "Down and Out..."

    She did an episode of Just A Minute back in the way with Kenneth Williams and the gang, it was absolutely hilarious.

    Just hear James Garner has died, RIP. Grew up with The Rockford Files. Many great roles in a long career.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    Same here re Rockford files. I really liked James in a lot of roles. Grand Prix is a classic for car nuts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    :(

    Away from Rockford Files Support Your Local Sheriff was a Garner favourite, very funny.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,148 ✭✭✭rednik

    Away from Rockford Files Support Your Local Sheriff was a Garner favourite, very funny.

    It was very funny in contrast to Hour of the gun in which Garner gave a very good performance of Wyatt Earp.

    Watched again recently The Notebook, he was great in that


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    He was great in Maverick too, which is silly but really fun. Great cast too, James Coburn, Alfred Molina to name but a few.

    James Shigeta started off by conquering the American Idol of his day. The singer and character actor won first place on the 1950s staple The Original Amateur Hour, and that proved to be a launching pad for a career on stage and screen. Shigeta, whose long career allowed for memorable appearances in the likes of the 1961 musical Flower Drum Song and then 1988's Die Hard, has died. He was 81. "It is with great sadness that I report the loss of my long time friend and client James Shigeta," his agent said in a statement to E! News Monday. "James was the biggest East Asian U.S. star the country had known.
