Finding out later that it was Mr. Milner's estate, and learning more about him, we fly the flag with pride. He had a lot of patriotic/bicentennial swag at his estate. Also, a Welsh flag, much smaller, that I bought. He and his wife lived unpretentiously, in a very plain house in San Diego county. They must have been nice, down to earth people. It certainly was a comfortable home, not a glitzy one.

I don't think I have a single image of him in my mind -- and that is kind of a marvel, where the innocent young men roles, the goofy types, the super cool Todd from ROUTE 66, and then the knowing mature, no-nonsense guy in his later TV years -- he's all of those things to me.Jacqueline T.

Way back when, watching that movie on TV one afternoon that scene made my second baby sister Maureen scream. Whenever I watch "Marty" I always think of that moment and it makes me laugh.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-45438246313804501782015-09-10T17:38:44.940-04:002015-09-10T17:38:44.940-04:00Hi, Raquel.

Perhaps among Boomers more than younger film fans, who are especially familiar with his work on the two series from the 1960s and 1970s, and a long string of guest spots. For those of us who remembered, or discovered, his earlier film work as well -- an added bonus, to be sure.Jacqueline T.

I really want to explore his work now. I always appreciate an actor who is charming and consistent in a non-showy way, as you described.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.com
