Hello David- Great article! On a human level, I wanted to share my one-time, personal unique
interaction I had with him.. Just over 30 years ago, I was in LA for charity international conference . On my last day in the hotel in Santa Monica we stayed in, I saw him in the lobby... I then had a tape recorder with me- as we were taping PSA's with well known people for our upcoming Radio Telethon. I, off the cuff, found and called his hotel room from the lobby- explained I wanted to tape a quick PSA with him and he then immediately invited me to his suite. His wife Betsy opened the door and they spent over 30 min's taping and retaping his voice over-which ended up being a big hit back home in Montreal. He was warm, open, kind and completed un-full of himself. He offered us tea and shared the beautiful view from his suite....Easily one of the great, unplanned, special moments in my life! GREAT actor- but more importantly, VERY nice man-when it mattered.

An actor for the times, not equaled by present standards.
