James Coburn died yesterday of a heart attack.
::::Sigh:::::::
As I said in the other thread:
Damn.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!
That really sucks. Dammit.
I had dinner a couple of times with his daugher & her daughter in Carmel. No offense, but from what I learned, I don’t think I would want him to be my dad. Sure, that guy is a great actor, esp. Cat Balou, but at home, well…
Cat Ballou?? That was Lee Marvin.
…no, it was Jane Fonda. Coburn just didn’t have the figure for those corsets.
Lee Marvin is Also Dead.
I always got Lee Marvin and James Coburn mixed up.
Now it’s the “Magnificent Six.”
Er, “Magnificent Three.” Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen are dead, too.
Funny, I always got James Coburn mixed up with Jason Robards.
“I always got Lee Marvin and James Coburn mixed up”
Looks like me too, but :
“James Coburn came to Hollywood during the same period that one-time movie villain Lee Marvin was being promoted to stardom; producers took advantage of Coburn’s slight resemblance to Marvin, casting the young actor in the sort of secondary “heavy” roles”
