    George Kennedy - Proper Legend RIP

    Now George was the real deal, proper tough guy actor! In so many of my favourite films. Dirty Dozen, Cool Hand Luke, The Flight of the phoenix, Eiger sanction.

    RIP George

    He was in some cracking films.

    I watched The Dirty Dozen on one of the classic film channels the other night, he was great in that. Looking at his cv on IMDB I'd forgotten some of his great roles - Cool Hand Luke, Airport, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Death on the Nile...

    RIP.

    Good actor.

    He was great in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, tussling with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges.

    Indeed he was, one of my favourite films. I watched it again recently and still enjoyed it. Sad day.

    "If my boy says he can eat 50 eggs...he can eat 50 eggs". My introduction to George Kennedy.

    RIP George.

    A great innings at 91, but still very sad to hear of his passing - a staple of my childhood. Red Leary in Thunderbolt has to be one of the best psycho performances ever.

    Pretty sure he's one of the chaps saying "I'm Spartacus" too, a very early role!

    RIP.
