---SNIP--- Andrew Breitbart was Orson’s son-in-law. When I toured Israel with Andrew in the summer of 2007, I asked him to convey our invitation to Orson to write something for Power Line. In response to our standing invitation, Orson provided the following account of “why I wrote this book” for Power Line readers. Orson wrote:

For most of my life I didn’t believe in God. Who had time? I was too busy with things of this world: getting ahead, getting laid, becoming famous. For most of my adult life I’ve been at least somewhat famous. Not so famous that I had to wear dark glasses to walk down the street, but famous enough that head waiters would give me a good table.

Your welcome. I never knew Mr. Bean was such an interesting colorful character. I am going to have to read his biography.

a lot of people ‘find God’- but do they also ‘find Jesus’ which is what saves folks?

Kirk Douglas ‘found God’ but there is no evidence He ‘found Jesus’

5. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:40).

Orson Bean's father George Frederick Burrows was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU),
and a fund-raiser for the Scottsboro Boys' defense.

The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American teenagers, ages 13 to 20, falsely accused in Alabama of
raping two white women on a train in 1931. The landmark set of legal cases from this incident dealt
with racism and the right to a fair trial.

Orson's daughter by his second wife, Suzannah, was married to Andrew Breitbart in 1997.

Good stuff

Great story.

Though getting run over by a car takes some of the wind out of it.

“That is between Him and God...
Judge not, lest Ye be judged”

Sounds like you’re judging him.

Another interesting article on the subject. I thought I remembered him on the radio some years ago talking about being a Christian.
