Yep, reminds me of RGB. Hopefully it won’t take a month to hear that she died.

Yep, I’ll always remember Darren McGavin for three things: Tribes, Kolchak, and the “Old Man”.

YIKES!
Gee, thank goodness he found some hair dye, otherwise people would have suspected he’s old.

My Wife’s Family knew him when he was a Teenager. He was buddies with her Cousin.

The Girls thought he was a handsome devil back then.

The guy had a difficult life. RIP...

He was in pretty bad shape whenever that pic was taken, I can only imagine it got worse in a hurry.

"OMG. Talk about taking a toll. He looks worse than 40 miles of bad road."

Well, he's been dead for about a month now.

Yes, did not mean to imply that Conrad is dead, was just relating that Conrad had also been in a serious car crash, that’s pretty well debilitated him.

And Conrad is the lucky one. The 26-year-old in the other car lived 2 more years.

He was interesting in a small role as the Bowling alley manager in ‘Buffalo ‘66’ with Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci.

It’s a wonder he lived to see 74.

Tribes was a movie of the week

Hippie in boot camp basically

I was I think ninth grade

Revolting draftee

Begrudgingly sympathetic drill instructor ....Darren McGavin

Pretty typical Hollywood treatment but some nuance to its credit

I remember seeing “The World’s Greatest Athlete” in the early to mid-1970s. Also had Tim Conway. One of the funniest movies I ever saw and a great memory from my youth.

I recall a 60 Minutes (or 20/20) story on him where they found him in the backwoods of NC living in a trailer with no electricity, etc. looked like a meth addict, but may have simply been schizophrenic or bipolar... really sad.

My grandfather had a camp there briefly

Fishing

Lake Bruin was much better

Water skiing

Eagle Lake is near great deer hunting though
