He made his living in a profession he loved. May he rest in peace.

Burt Prelutsky is a fine story teller. That was a good read. I could visualize and hear every single scene.

I always liked George. I was glad he stuck around so long.

Awesome.
Sadly I didn’t see him in any of the westerns. But I thought he was a great foil for Leslie Neilsen in the Naked Gun movies.

That was a great/interesting remembrance of George Kennedy. Thanks for posting.

Burt is one of the sharpest Hollywood historians around, and a conservative too. He has a good book on the people he met there. Worth getting for entertainment buffs.
Burt: Edward Everett Horton was a graduate of my high school, Baltimore City College HS, I think it was the class of 1916. Later we had Garrison (Gary) Moore (Gary Moore Show), the school clown, according to my uncle who went to school with him. And then Michael Tucker, my friend, teammate and club-mate, Class of ‘62 - “Radio Days”, “Diner”, “LA Law” etc.
Ah, those were the days.
George Kennedy will be missed. Thanks for the nice send-off.
To: Loud Mime
Great read! Thanks for posting the whole article.

I thought he was great in the movie
Cahill U.S. Marshal is a 1973 American Western film. Also
Cool Hand Luke.
While J.D. Cahill (John Wayne), a widower and U.S. Marshal, is away from home, his two sons Danny (Gary Grimes) and Billy (Clay O'Brien) aid Abe Fraser (George Kennedy) and his gang to escape from jail and to rob a bank.
R.I.P., George Kennedy.

Burt: Edward Everett Horton was a graduate of my high school, Baltimore City College HS...City HS was once one of the two premier public high schools in Baltimore, the other being the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (Poly for short). City has unfortunately and regrettably declined, a perfect example of the public schools failure. Poly OTOH continues to thrive (perhaps its most famous alumnus is H L Mencken). Two of my B-I-Ls are City grads; I went to Poly.

Wonderful remembrance. Sorry to hear that Paul Newman was so... petty.

I think my favorite Kennedy role was as Ben Bowman in The Eiger Sanction.
