'Rockford Files' Star James Garner Dies at 86

Quote:
James Garner, the charming leading man from Oklahoma who made it look easy on NBC's The Rockford Files and in films opposite Doris Day, Julie Andrews and Sally Field during more than a half-century in show business, has died. He was 86.

Great TV actor, a main stay on 70s television and always seemed to be a cool guy. RIP.

Starred in two classic TV shows,"Maverick" and "The Rockford Files",and a lot of good movies too.
Never saw him give a bad performance.

RIP

Garner garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 1985's Murphy's War, costarring Sally Field. A charming and overlooked movie, a chick flick that even guys can enjoy.

James Garner looked like a John Buscema character.

I like the episode of Rockford Files where Rockford returns to town from a trip to find out that some screwball obsessed with being a private detective has been using Rockford's identity.

We were discussing Garner in another thread sometime over the past 6 months where I posted a YouTube interview with him telling how hard it was to continue with the show because of his bad legs. After hearing that I now notice Garner hobbling when he is running and it is obvious that it is not easy for him in some episodes. He also looks a lot older than he did when I was a kid, but I probably don't remember him well because that was the night that Dad made everyone leave the TV room so that he could watch his favorite show without any disturbance. He did the same for Charlie's Angels.

Goodbye, James Garner.

Played the best cowboy and then private detective ever to be put on the small screen, and backed it up with Latigo Smith, the best gunfighter to ever be on the big screen.


RIP
