James Garner

James Garner passed away a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed his televisions shows like Maverick and The Rockford Files because he came across as a guy who was easy to be around. I did some checking and it turns out he actually was. Mr. Garner was an atypical Hollywood star. The word most commonly used to describe him was “affable” which means he was pleasantly easy to approach and talk to, friendly, cordial and warmly polite. Tom Selleck was quoted in Variety.com saying that, “…every actor should take “star lessons” from James Garner.” Mr. Garner also got married once and stayed that way. He was just a few days short of his 58th wedding anniversary when he died. Such is the legacy of a man who was comfortable in his own skin and saw no need to put on airs.
