Wow, thanks for making me feel ancient. I remember, as a kid, watching Brown as "the young one" on LAWMAN, one of my favorite of many westerns that I watched back then. And he was 80? Ouch.
I really miss the old days.
RIP
1958-59...11 westerns on the schedules of the 3 networks...how times have changed.
I probably watched most of them.
I like this bit from the obit: "In Foxy Brown (1974), the boyishly handsome actor portrayed a bad guy who is castrated by men hired by the revenge-seeking title character (Pam Grier), with his severed genitals being presented to his girlfriend (Kathryn Loder)."
All obits should be so good.
I sincerely hope that your eventual obit will have no mention of severed genitals, Bill.
