I saw that this morning. Very sad news indeed.

DIMEMAN · July 20, 2014 3:38AM

Very very sad.......he was one of my favorite actors in both movies and TV.

bosco5041 · July 20, 2014 3:41AM

Sad news, I really liked him as an actor and in the movie "Notebook".

Rampage · July 20, 2014 4:04AM

I liked his role in My Fellow Americans.

ambro51 · July 20, 2014 4:06AM

He will live on in Film.

bsshog40 · July 20, 2014 4:09AM

He was a great actor!!

DaveWcoins · July 20, 2014 4:39AM

What a bummer. I hadn't heard about that.

I loved The Rockford Files as a kid.

Great actor.

RIP

Maverick, Grand Prix and Rockford Files.

I saw Grand Prix in the theater in 1966, became a lifelong auto racing fan because of it.

RIP, James Garner.

Right to the end he still looked really good. In looks he aged well.

What a great actor. Legend. RIP.

Never made a TV show or movie I didn't like.
Downloading some of his movies that I liked the most
Murphy's Romance is the first on my queued list. Great One.

Thank You So Very Much Mr. Garner

Coinsponge · July 20, 2014 6:20AM

James Garner. One of my favorites. So sorry to hear. I believe he was a genuine nice guy.

SAM5969 · July 20, 2014 6:23AM

If he laid down those quad kings, he likely would have been shot .. that wasn't just quads it was a pair of King of Diamonds

BigMoose · July 20, 2014 6:40AM

I remember him as the "chiseler" in "The Great Escape" with Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson. What a fantastic role!

OldIndianNutKase · July 20, 2014 7:16AM

James Garner will be missed. Thanks for posting the hand with four Kings....with two King of Diamonds. I had not seen that before.

Great actor. I loved almost very thing he acted in. RIP.

lordmarcovan · July 20, 2014 7:55AM

James Garner?

I thought he had died a few years ago. Didn't realize he had still been kickin' until now.

Agreed, he was a great actor, and memorable. Reminded everybody in my family of my Uncle Logan.

Unca' Logie died a couple of years ago, which may explain why I prematurely assumed that Garner, his Hollywood alter-ego, had too.

Finally someone saw the irony in my four kings!

He would have loved this thread!!

You remember as a kid? That really makes me feel old.

Deed it does, great memories of the man....God Bless Mr. Garner's soul.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 20, 2014 3:14PM

And may his family and friends know how much he's loved. I could always count on a good scene when he was in it.

toyz4geo · July 20, 2014 3:55PM

Ditto to all that has been said. The Legends are leaving the building....

magikbilly · July 20, 2014 4:16PM

Excellent in Great Escape too. RIP

I can't recall right now which message board it is, but there is a member Maverick and I thought he had died from this thread title.

joeykoins · July 21, 2014 3:39AM

Yeah sad!

I too loved him as an actor. Murphy's Romance was my favorite! The role Mr. Garner portrayed makes me think how the gentleman really was in real life. Well mannered, laid back and old fashion. Like in the scene with Sally Fields, when they both leave the movie theater, after seeing a horrible and gory fright movie. When both agree, " they didn't like those kind of movies!" Some other well known actors in the movie must be feeling the same as us here on this thread. He'll be missed.

telephoto1 · July 21, 2014 4:23AM

As a teen kid I was always a fan of that Firebird he drove like a maniac in the Rockford Files...
One of the local stations ran Maverick reruns in the afternoons back then as well. RIP

An appropriate picture of tribute for this forum!
(Found on the web....Not mine).

(Can't say much for the artistic qualities, however. Looks more like Bill Clinton.

Cool Maverick spinner. Were these available to the public or just studio/network promo items?

<< <i>Cool Maverick spinner. Were these available to the public or just studio/network promo items? >>

Here's the auction link, if you are really interested:

Appears to be a promotional item for "Kaiser Quilted Foil"....some type of aluminum foil??

telephoto1 · July 21, 2014 5:39AM

Yep, competitor to Reynolds Wrap back in the day. I vaguely remember seeing a roll of it at my grandmother's house as a kid. Thanks for info.

RIP Maverick...
