One of my favorite movies where the business man is actually a good guy!

    James Garner was indeed a good man who apparently retained that quality for life.
    He did enjoy the fruits of life including driving race cars and playing golf.
    My only contact with him was at a Pro-Am golf tournament leading up to the Houston Open some years ago.
    Garner had finished his round and was heading for the clubnouse when he heard that accounting employees at the course had no opportunity to get out and see the action of the ProAm. He made arrangements to be taken to the administration offices to visit with the hard working people there. His visit was a highlight for everyone present.
    Garner was a real "Maverick" and he will be missed by many.

    Garner appeared to be the guy you'd like to have as your big brother (not the 1984 one). Macho guy with a sense of humor and an unflappable demeanor. I miss him already.

      Yeah, who knew that Gandalf Fitch would go on to become a famous Chef in Colorado?

      James Woods is tweeting quite a bit about Garner's passing. I guess they became close friends at some point.

      You can find reruns of the Rockford Files (I think on ME TV).

      Funny nobody mentioned Maverick (the tv series, not just the movie)... The Wheeler Dealers, Support Your Local Sheriff/Gunfighter... He even played Philip Marlowe.

      Tank, Victor Victoria, Sunset... movies of his that I liked keep popping into my memory.

    Amazing actor, married to the same woman for nearly 58 years. "The Notebook" is one of my favorite movies, partly because my hubby has Alzheimer's and is headed down that road, too, but mostly because Mr. Garner did such a believable portrayal of caring and sorrow.
