Poor guy. Nobody to “book” where he’s going. RIP.
He was, also, awesome in The Longest Day.
I loved that show. I still remember the episode starring Wm Shatner as a private eye with a Texas drawl
Not to hijack, but did you ever see Tom Selleck as private eye Lance White in Rockford files? FUNNY STUFF!!!!
And the adopted son of one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses, Helen Hayes....
He was in two movies which were great entertainment. He played opposite Charles Bronson and an all star cast in Battle of the Bulge, and as Henry Fonda’s son in Spencer’s Mountain.
So sad, my childhood was made better by watching shows like this. Hawaii Five 0, Mannix,starsky and Hutch, Rockford Files what great entertainment from that era
As a side McArthur’s role I will always remember was as ‘Preacher’ in the underrated film Hang ‘em High.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
The new remake (Mondays at 9 CST) is surprising good. I didn’t expect it to be.
Must’ve seen the pilot of the relaunched series and dropped dead on the spot.
Remember Mannix’s ride? ‘Twas bad. A Super Bee convertible, yes?
One of the great lines in the history of television.
I don’t remember him in The Longest Day.
I think you mean Battle of the Bulge.
“What now Lance”......
he was married to F-Troop’ Wrangler Jane.
He also played Bomba the jungle boy.
