“Good Morning Vietnam” has signed off the air for his new heavenly posting.
Politically conservative despite the leanings of the actor who played him, Williams
His obituary ends:
Cronauer attended the University of Pennsylvania’s law school and went into the legal profession, working in communications law and later handling prisoner-of-war issues for the Pentagon.
“I always was a bit of an iconoclast, as Robin (Williams) was in the film,” Cronauer told the AP in 1999. “But I was not anti-military, or anti-establishment. I was anti-stupidity. And you certainly do run into a lot of stupidity in the military.”
I read his book many years ago.
Rest In Peace
I just watched the Blu Ray a week ago! Holy smokes. Cronauer famously stated he wasn’t the “liberal” as depicted in the movie and he’s a card carrying Republican.
RIP, Adrian. Say hello to Robin for us.
He was the voice of many recorded books.
Good Morning, Forest Lawn!
I was at a fundraiser for Ollie North years ago in Charleston,SC and he was there to speak and help his friend,, he and I spent nearly an hour talking one on one in the ballroom where the event took place,,as we waited for our rides,, everybody else had gone.. he wrote a lil note to my mom on a business card saying he wished she had been there,, a class act of a man!
“Good Night, Vietnam.”
RIP Adrian Cronaur
Amen.
