RIP, hubby just told me this.
Used Cars is a classic movie.
Are they burying Michael McKean with him?
I never watched one minute of that show but I was always told I looked (and acted) like the girl that wasn’t Penny Marshall. The other one.
When work was lean did he have to take a job as a backup singer for Sha Na Na?
It says he was married to the same woman for 41 years.
"That price is too f'n high"
Squiggy! rip
My DVD’s signed by the college student driving the ‘77 copper Celica! ‘Couldn’t be prouder.
Thanks, been a while since I heard that myself!
You know you are getting old when your favorite actors/actresses of your childhood are dying. RIP, Squiggy and prayers to your family...
May he rest in peace.
“Used Cars” is my favorite Kurt Russell film.
