RIP

Ben Gazzara

I've been a fan of his for 50 years. Wait, is that right? Yep, at least. He was in Anatomy of a Murder in 1959. But the one I really remember is The Strange One, (1957), set in a boy's school. He was a badass early on. He was also in Saint Jack, based on a Ross Thomas (as Oliver Bleeck) novel (and I collect Ross Thomas). And there's my guilty pleasure, Roadhouse, with another fave Sam Elliott.

I'll miss him.
