... wasn't one of his eyes glass? Or was that Sammy Davis Jr?

In The Sons of Katie Elder, it was Dean Martin. Remember him wearing the patch and auctioning off his eye in the bar? After collecting the money from the highest bidder, he lifted up the patch, laughed, and winked!

While slightly off topic, the best glass eye scene I've ever seen in a movie was the one Jimmy Stewart did in FOOL'S PARADE (an odd, underappreciated film that also starred George Kennedy, Kurt Russell, and Strother Martin).

The news on Elam is indeed sad. Easily one of the top five character actors of all time and a personal favorite of mine.

R.I.P., Jack.
