Kirk Douglas is still alive. Tony Curtis, although he may not have the stature certainly a contemporary...

Kirk Douglas was mentioned earlier. Debbie Reynolds. Ernest Borgnine.

I know there are many on this board who hated the man for his later-in-life politics, but I personally have no doubt that his rich film legacy will stand the test of time, with new audiences enjoying his films for decades after his NRA spokesman days are long forgotten.

He is my favorite actor of all time, and I never even got to meet him.
Here is a crappy scan of a print of the original watercolor I sent to Heston the Friday before he died:
Unfortunately he will never see it...

His wife Lydia and his children and grandchildren will. It will mean more to them since it is postmaked before his passing. Nice work!

I remember how sad I was to hear that Molly Ivins had died, and right here there soon started up some ugly vitriol against her; some folks just couldn't resist tit for tat.
After her death, President George W. Bush, a frequent target of her barbs, said in a statement, "I respected her convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words, and her ability to turn a phrase. She fought her illness with that same passion. Her quick wit and commitment to her beliefs will be missed."

Bill Warren or someone should cite the story about him during the filming of The Naked Jungle

That isn't quite true. As a left-winger and a Jew I should hate him for his support of white supremacists ... Jessie Helms.

Thank you for that quote, ArmandV101. A very graceful remark by the President about a talented writer.
