R.I.P. Georgann Johnson

Georgann Johnson IMDB

She played at least two episodes of the fugitive and many other roles where a wholesome and good natured wife fit the part.  It's sad to hear of her passing in 2018.

R.I.P. Julie Adams

Julie Adams - Creature of the Black Lagoon

I remember her in a number of her best parts and she was fun and very recognizable with her unique personality and intelligence.  Her standout early part still brings a smile to many faces as the girl kidnapped by the creature from the black lagoon.

Gene Hackman - Happy 89th Birthday

Gene Hackman IMDB

He's good, really good.  In The Outlaw Josey Wales he played such a menacing part that you could feel the stress that he gave to everyone around him on screen.  I remember him in movies going back to when I was a youth and never remember him in a second rate part even though he very often played the supporting role.

Angel - Rockford Files

Stuart Margolin - IMDB

He played the perfect weasel yet somehow you couldn't hate him.  He made you laugh.  It's good to see he's still out there somewhere going strong.

Bradford Dillman - R.I.P. 1930-2018

Bradford Dillman - Actor

The Day of the Comet - The Big Valley

I remember him in so many parts over the years that I didn't realize his early years were so productive.   Dillman played a great part as Mercer in this struggle for survival as a disgraced Officer from the Civil War who is being hunted down by some of his former company that blames him for their losses.

He is a great actor with a with a place in movies and TV that always had him in trouble, at risk, and appearing unstable or untrustworthy.  He played those parts well thanks to a voice, a look, and mannerisms that fit those characters.

Somehow to me he also seemed like a man who could smile and had an intelligence to enjoy his life.  I hope it was so.
