Information

Regarding the death of Earl Holliman.

Transcript

"Never once an uninteresting or a faulty presence in American film, he was one of those overlooked actors who wasn't ever taken in by Hollywood tinsel. His sandpaper voice and his natural virility are masculine traits that are ridiculed now (or only in demand when wars are invented and someone is required to lay down their life for no reason whatsoever.) He never married, and there is no record of even a girlfriend or a boyfriend … in other words … the perfect life. I dropped a note through his gate two years ago - asking if I could shake his hand. He was wise enough not to reply."
