Actor Sam Shepard, 1943-2017

One of my favorite actors passed yesterday due to complications from ALS, Sam Shepard who was a very talented man with a sizable filmography. A number of us here remember him portraying General Chuck Yeager in 1983's "The Right Stuff". R.I.P.

Thanks for posting this; I too will always think of him as Yeager.

I remember seeing him in the film "Blackhawk Down", his role in that venue was excellent.
