• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

James Whimore Dies

Yes, this was a fine generation of actors. It may sound trite- but they don't make 'em like that anymore. They were grown up men.

Don't know if his name was on that great list posted by p14u2nv but Robert Montgomery- another great actor from that era (and Elizabeth Montgomery's dad) worked for my old man during the war. My dad really liked him. Said he wasn't the greatest naval officer in the navy but he made himself useful and thats what mattered.

James Whitmore we will miss you. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to reminisce. Always loved you as Gus Minissi in "The Asphalt Jungle" with Sterling Hayden, Jean Hagen, Sam Jaffe and Marilyn Monroe in her very first and un-credited roll. Great flick. Also and forever, as Sgt. Ben Petersen in "THEM!".

RIP and Happy Trails!
