James Garner: 1928 – 2014
Some people make an impression on you without even trying. They just can’t help it. Tall, dark and handsome James Garner was one such individual. No doubt, you will fondly recall him in Maverick and The Rockford Files. Remember the role he played in 1963’s The Great Escape? If you didn’t see it, rent it. It’s worth two hours of your time.
I loved him in Murphy’s Romance. He and Sally Field were perfect together. He was her first love; she was his last. Then, of course, there is The Notebook. It’s time to watch it again…after I buy some tissues!
Rest in peace, James Garner. You made this world a better place. Here is his biography. He didn’t have an easy early life but I’m thankful there was joy and success in the end.
I think I will buy some old fashioned popcorn this afternoon – you know, the kind you pop on top of the stove – and curl up and watch a James Garner movie tonight! Just me with my memories of James Garner…

I agree with every word you said. I love James Garner. My favorite movie is also Murphy’s Romance. My favorite scene was where they are at a dance and he winds up dancing with Sally’s husband – so funny..

Oh, I just laughed out loud remembering that scene, Lillian! That was hysterical! I want to see The Great Escape next.
