One of my main movie heroes; when I first saw him in The Hustler, '61,
I ran to the local pool hall, sneaked in, and started to learn to shoot
snooker, 9 ball and billiards. He was fabulous in Cool Hand Luke and, in
about every role he had. I bumped into him in the bar of a so-so hotel
in midtown NYC, (maybe the Warwick?), circa 1977; he was having a
beer with Geo Kennedy. I had a beer with them: I could not fookin
believe it!
NEway, one of the great film and stage actors of our time, imo.
Hope that last race was fast, fun and painless. RIP.
