Burt Reynolds once said you could work on a film for six months and hope people like what you did. Then Harry Dean Stanton shows up and works three days and gets an Oscar nomination.

I loved all of his performances. I would watch a movie if he was in it. Especially loved him in FOOL FOR LOVE. Sam Shepherd, the author and star, died the other day.

I also loved Strother Martin. He, too, was in COOL HAND LUKE. All the great character actors are are gone. Current stars are threatened by good character actors.
