He starred in 'Move Over Darling', 'Grand Prix' and other flicks.
He was James Garner and sadly, he died at the age of eighty-six.
He starred as Wyatt Earp in 'Hour Of The Gun'.
Six years later he starred in 'One Little Indian'.
He starred in a cameo in 'Alias Jesse James'.
Many years later he starred in 'Skin Game'.
In 1960, he starred with Natalie Wood in 'Cash McCall'.
Three years later he starred as Doctor Boyer in 'The Thrill Of It All'.
He worked with Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman and Dennis Weaver and that was cool.
This talented man also starred in television shows, one of which was '8 Simple Rules'.
He had charm that his fans couldn't resist.
Now Garner is dead and he will be missed.

[Dedicated to James Garner (1928-2014) who died on July 19, 2014.]

For me, and for many, he will be remembered for the Rockford Files. Terrific actor who never seemed to take himself too seriously. Dare I say, also underestimated.

Yes, the Rockford Files for me was James Garner. Such a lovely, humorous and gentle (in spite of the body count) series. Maybe they'll show it again as a memorial.
