BrunoBrimley 86 Posted February 19, 2007 He made it! George celebrated his 82nd birthday yesterday. A simple meal, starting with a beef barley soup and soon followed with pork chops, lima beans, mashed potatoes with imitation butter, creamed corn, and baskets of buscits and tapioca pudding preceded a beautiful birthday cake which was decorated with an artists rendering of his favorite films; Nightmare At Noon (also released as Death Street) surrounded half the circumfrence and Dirty Dingus McGee the other half. On the top amidst the candles was a full color image of his favorite of all actors the marvelous Jack Elam who sadly left us in 2003. After the vittles were feasted upon, George regaled everyone with tales (some rather raunchy) of his wild past. Happy Birthday (a day late) George. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 874 Posted March 1, 2016 Damn. I though he could never die. A sort of male Betty White. I thought of him yesterday. I was bored and saw a link about the 50 most epic film scenes in history. One of them was the "failure to communicate" scene from Cool Hand Luke, for which he recieved an Oscar.
