A PSA about death?! It’s anti, I presume.

He was a wonderful character actor across fare as diverse as Magnolia and Kentucky Fried Movie.

A very sad state of affairs as of late. We lost Mary Travers of course as well this week, not to mention Patrick Swayze.

I love that WW clip. I was looking for a solid one from Long Goodbye or Nashville but couldn’t find one. There was a low quality one from Kentucky Fried Movie, a PSA announcement about death that either would’ve been wildly inappropriate or just the opposite, I couldn’t decide.

Forgive me for having said this elsewhere, but I just love the image of him slapping around Sterling Hayden in The Long Goodbye. And you believe it!

Here’s a clip of him hamming it up on Wonder Woman. Not his finest moment, but he seems to be having fun.

It’s not easy to be a badass in purple satin.

RIP
