Good actor, Pink Jungle, and more. Thoughts?

Cool Hand Luke. Thunderbolt & Lightfoot. Dirty Dozen. He was a terrific actor.

He also invented the first microwave oven.

Overrated

The possum hell ya

Who's that? It's not Kennedy.

Kennedy was one of the most well rounded actors of all time. He did good guys, bad guys, comedy, drama, action, and most of the rest. He wasn't ever a screen romantic that I know of but he did about everything else.

I see he lived in Eagle, ID when he died. That's news to me. It's about 150 miles from here. I grew up very close to there. At that time, it was a tiny farm town. Now it's a bedroom for Boise.

George Jones wasn't an actor.

That's George Orwell.

He makes a good grill.

Sad what happened to his brothers.

My fave George Kennedy line; "Hey kid, why don't you go fuqk a duck" from Thunderbolt & Lightfoot.

It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have.

--George Kennedy in Rio Bravo

Hell of a boxer too!

Yes indeed

Never really cared for him.

He was ugly and gay. Chewed with his mouth open.

A cry in the wilderness, George gots the hydrophobia.

I hated him in Cool Hand Luke which means he was great. Loved him in everything else which means he was great. Had a show where he was a cop on the beat. Used his baton like a pro. Eiger Sanction. A+.

His daughter and son-in-law live in Eagle. Kennedy was ill and he came to live with them.

As an aside, Kennedy served in WW II in an infantry outfit under Gen. George Patton.

L.W.

The best Eiger clip, IMO.

He was a good actor Cool Hand Luke was my favorite.

Played good guys and bad guys pretty well. Spent a lot of time on “Gunsmoke” .. 😊

FWIW....
He actually died in a nursing home in Middleton Idaho, a small town a few miles west of Eagle.

He owned a Cessna 337 airplane and used to fly it to Wichita to get painted and other work done to it. He always specified that he wanted it filled up with many cases of Coors beer to be taken back to where he was from. His plane was a bright orange twin engine one in front and the other in the rear. They said he was a great guy. Many from other places also had their planes filled up with many cases of Coors beer to take back home.

Eiger Sanction:

Dragline... C'mon Luke!, Stretch that 'Ol Hog Belly!...

"The Blue Knight"... IIRC

Joe Patroni.....Airport

"They don't call them emergencies anymore. They call them Patronis."

I liked him in the A Team TV show.

He was also great in Lonesome Dove.
