Cliff Robertson RIP

Even though he won an Oscar for Charly it really isn't that good a movie. Despite winning that, he never really achieved super stardom. Here he is a few years earlier co-starring in The Best Man with Henry Fonda, one of his best performances. Since it is the whole movie I didn't embed the video in case anyone wants to watch the entire movie full screen.

Re: Cliff Robertson RIP
 

You just spoiled my laughs from Street Trash. I've only seen three of his films, as far as I can recall, but I liked him; far too young an age at which to die.

Good work, Will!

Was wondering if anyone made an entry for Cliff Robertson's demise. The guy was a damn good actor--seems he could play anyone. But what I liked most about him was that he was an avid and skillful pilot who really loved aircraft. Also liked that he had the guts to blow the whistle on a studio exec who was scamming money by forging actors' names on checks. Didn't like the fact he apparently had a bad drinking problem, yet he managed to tie that experience with his flying experience and do a great role as an airlines pilot with a drinking problem in a film I think was made for TV. He was a good actor who was his own man--a rare combination any time in Hollywood.

Did I also mention he too was from Texas?
