I was thinking that a lot of my favorite actors are older and might not be around long. I think of Burt Reynolds, Bruce Dern, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman. I'll miss them. Who would you miss?

Well I love Gene Wilder, he just recently passed. Christopher Lollyd is one I'll miss whenever he passes.

Yeah! I almost forgot to mention Betty White too. She cracks me up.

All my favorite actors happen to be in their 70's and 80's.

Well we can't stop time that's for sure.

All my favorite actors may be dying soon.

Well let's hope not too soon. You'll still get to enjoy all the work they've done.

one of my favorite actors is Gene Hackman. i think he retired. I think he's around 88.

Haven't seen or heard much from him in awhile. What's your favorite film of his?

Gene Hackman is so great. I don't know where to start.

Gene Hackman won an Oscar for "Unforgiven".

I think James Garner has already passed. I grew up watching the Rockford Files.

The was a great movie - Gene Hackman plays bad guys so well - did you ever see the movie "NO way Out" with Kevin Costner?

I saw "No Way Out". Good movie.

I was thinking that a lot of my favorite actors are older and might not be around long. I think of Burt Reynolds, Bruce Dern, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman. I'll miss them. Who would you miss? I already miss Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley. I'll miss Willam Shatner. I was lucky enough to catch the last film that Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglass appeared in together at the theater. The director wouldn't have made the film if one of them had been missing, he said. I know they were already old at the time (1986 ) but nowdays Hollywood "actors" leave a lot to desire. Also, it doesn't help when the studios are involved in the politics of the day : Feminists killed Star Wars, plagerised Ocean's Eleven and showed their true colors with the flop remake of Ghostbusters. I'll miss Sidney Poitier, James Garner, Jean Paul Belmondo, Allain Delon, Christopher Plummer, Sean Connery, Robert Duval, James Earl Jones, Robert Redford, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Robert Davi, Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley.

I miss Gary Cooper too - also Gregory Peck - that voice!
