#4  What a loss. Normally, I don't care about TV or movies, but if Hal Holbrook was in it, I made a point to watch it.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Holbrook.

Gawd, his death makes me feel old.

#3  Good ones NN2N1.
I always liked this HH line from Wall St. - "Man looks into the Abyss, and there's nothin' staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character, and that's what keeps him out of the Abyss."

#2  A Great Actor...
His role in a Dirty Harry movie came across as if he had actual done it in life prior to acting.


But his quotes seem to contradict the stated political position he was a Liberal loving socialist. I get the general feeling he may have toed the Hollywood political line for career reasons.


Either way, his quotes...

#1
"We live in a democracy. We have this extraordinary opportunity to use our mind and say what we think, speak as we think. Sometimes what we say is objectionable to other people. But that is part of a free society."

#2
"I got a feeling about political correctness. I hate it. It causes us to lie silently instead of saying what we think."
