    Lmfao at being remembered for Naked Gun. Think he'd probably more like to be remembered for Cool Hand Luke!

    Good job you are not on Pointless (or doing one of my quizzes)...

    I must admit I wasn't aware that he was still with us. RIP

    One of my favourite bits of Naked Gun is when Frank is congratulating him on being with the same woman for 20 years, whilst he has to make do with loads of shallow sex with strangers.
    The look on George's face and his foaming at the mouth still makes me chuckle.

    Agreed - and others such as The Dirty Dozen, Flight of the Pheonix, The Sons of Katie Elder, The Eiger Sanction and quite a few more.

    Used to love his acting.
    Appeared in a few Clint Eastwood films. His acting in 'Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' when he gets 'kissed' by Jeff Bridges is superb, as of course is his part in 'Cool hand Luke'.

    RIP - could have sworn he was in Airplane but just found out he wasn't at all.

    Didn't realise he was that old (91). Cool Hand Luke is one of my favourite films & enjoyed Charade as well. He shifted into comedy really well too and definitely had the facial expressions for it. Rest in Peace Mr Kennedy.
