I don't think he defined an era. I think he reminded us of what being totally involved n your craft is all about. His whole self was in every role he played, regardless of how silly the part was. Those performers and performances are rare not only for us as an audience, but for a performer as well. It's hard to explain if you aren't a performing artist. Those moments of total involvement, body, mind and soul are hard to forget on both sides of the aisle.

I think he defined an era all right.

He sure did Laura. I was explaining to my kids why I was feeling sad today. I told them that I probably wouldn't be a brokie if not for this man. I'm sure they can't quite get this, but they gave me a big hug anyway.

I like the part about his curiosity... I felt that from him, benevolence too.
I am so glad I have interviews and what not saved on my DVR... such a special person.
LauraGigs:
Sounds like you sure have some sweet kids, Bell. :-*

That's very nicely written, thanks for posting it Leslie! I also liked Mick Lasalle's tribute.
