didn’t garfield have a hole in his heart or something? I remember hearing something about him- He sure died young- at prime of his career too-
I’m not sure about the hole in his heart. I did read that his doctors told him to take it easy, which of course he totally blew off. The day he died he was playing strenuous rounds of tennis. Went to dinner with a female friend and felt ill afterwards. She pushed him to see a doctor. He blew that off too. Said he just wanted to lie down, so she took him to her apartment, and left him alone for the night. The next morning when she went in to check on him, he was dead. He was also one of the actors who was questioned by the U.S. Congressional House Committee on Un-American Activities about communist leanings.
