MITCHELL!!!

RIP.

Never heard of her

why would someone want to do this with Mitchell, Joel????

That was one of my fav movies as a kid. I always watched it whenever I was fortunate enough to catch it on TV.

Rest well sir and thank you.

RIP bad guy from Fletch.

He was in 3 different Bond movies under two different Bonds.

I JUST WATCHED THE OLD WALKING TALL FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SATURDAY.

It was damn good, but damn it's sad as ****.

He did a good job, RIP.

And of course...

He had a tough guy presence all the time. Charles Bronson, Robert Mitchum, John Wayne all carried that through their careers.

He was a cool dude who lived a long life.

R.I.P. and God Speed

Oh man, Walking Tall was the shit!! RIP :(

RIP Joe Don, Billy Jack was big news in my HS days. Kids even dressed like him lol. Even though that movie was embellished and The Drive By Truckers exposed Buford Pusser in a song.
