And call Bill Murray what you will but he was a very kind and gentle person. The best story I ever heard about him was from here in Alaska. This husband and wife/boyfriend girlfriend whatever picked up a guy that was hitchhiking on the side of the road because he was broken down. His rental car quit and he was driving from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Anyway, these people picked him up and when they got to Fairbanks he asked if they would want his autograph or something from him. They had no idea who was sitting in the back of their car. He was so kind and so sweet and until the end he did not let on to who he was.

Harold Ramis objected to the casting of Bill Murray as Phil Connors in Groundhog Day because Ramis hated working with Murray on Caddyshack and Ghostbusters. But Ramis relented. He rationalized, at least Bill Murray wouldn't have to change his personality when playing Phil in Groundhog Day. Murray could just be himself.

Here’s a short video of him describing a life changing experience.

We ate at his restaurant, Murray Brothers Caddyshackin Rosemont, Illinois, near Chicago a few years ago. Lots of movie memorabilia and personal family pictures adorning the place. GREAT Chicago style hot dogs. I recommend it.
