Thanx

I always had a difficult time accepting Crawford

IMO, he was fat and ugly and a complete violation of my candied indoctrination to Hellywood stardom

Only in later years did I learn of his fabulous and valuable voice in radio .. (the first Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke")

And of course when MY fat complimented MY ugly .... wellllll ....

I thought William Conrad was the radio voice of Matt Dillon?

When I was a kid watching those shows, I never paid attention to looks. A cop was a good guy, and bad guys were bad guys. I rooted for Crawford to catch the bad guy. Never really noticed that he looked like an old, fat fighter who'd taken too many punches and thrown down too much bourbon.

Mr. Crawford loved cops and could be found at LA watering holes with them.
