On the other hand he smoked five packs of cigarettes a day, as did Rod Serling, and, like Serling, it's impossible to find a photo of him without a cigarette. (Remember how Serling smoked through the on-camera Twilight Zone intros). And they both died very young.

It's terribly sad. I hate tobacco; I think it's the evil-est force on earth, just beating out Scientology. You pay them to kill you and they spend the money on lawyers, advertising and laboratories that make the product more addictive.; November 6, 2015 at 8:28 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I need to retell the story about how my father gave me a cigarette when I asked for one when I was about six. I got very sick from it but it fixed me from ever smoking in my life. Well, a little Old Toby but that is totally different. I don't puke from a car or club filled with that kind of smoke. But tobacco my body naturally reject, violently.; November 6, 2015 at 9:16 PM

Debra She Who Seeks said...: He was a handsome man alright. I remember him from Westworld too but also The King and I, of course. And some movie about Ukrainian cossacks -- Taras Bulba or something like that.; November 7, 2015 at 6:44 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: He was great in everything. I love his whole vibe. If I could be ONE actor it would have been him. I saw him in the King and I once in New York when I was a teen and he was the man.; November 7, 2015 at 7:00 AM
Margaret Benbow said...: Do I remember right that, after he knew he had terminal cancer, he did a televised message that put the blame where it belonged: on cigarettes. Brave to the end.; November 7, 2015 at 9:45 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: It will break your heart that commercial. He is so sincere and so wishing he could stop the whole world from smoking.; November 7, 2015 at 10:59 AM
