I had a great uncle (My grandmother’s brother) named Elmore. He went by “Woody”.
Korean War vet, head cheesemaker. Very rough around the edges, but a stand up guy.

Watched it just a few nights ago,
A really good war movie that i had never heard of.
I was really bummed when Egan died, no more cans of beans and hot women for that poor bastard.

Not sure, old memory frag, but I think Rip Torn and Carrie Fisher were cousins.

RIP Rip. I was sad to see this.
He was perfect on Larry Sanders, agree.

To: Clemenza
I saw that movie as a kid and I think that was the first time I saw him. Great actor.
To: fieldmarshaldj
Okay, but I don't remember anything about Sissy Spacek back when. OTOH, it may be the lumber got restacked up in the attic...
