Herbert "Cowboy" Coward, who as the sadistic toothless man in John Boorman's Deliverance terrorized canoeists and audiences alike with the chilling line, "He got a real pretty mouth, ain't he?," has been killed in a car accident. He was 85.

Coward died Wednesday when the Nissan he was driving was struck by a pickup truck driven by a 16-year-old in Haywood County, North Carolina, North Carolina State Highway Patrol officials told WLOS-TV.

Yes

It stereotyped hillbillies as rump rangers forever

When reality they are about as likely to be queer as an AB at Lompoc

Don’t know if that was addressed to me, but I split with my Carioca in 2018 (divorce took three years), remarried in 2021 and now have a son for first time in my life. Much of my dad’s extended family moved to Wroclaw after WWII when the borders moved west. Interestingly enough Polish/Portuguese marriages are relatively common in North Jersey where I live now. Hope your son is enjoyoing himself!
