This remark strikes me as only common decency, but common decency seems to be very uncommon, especially in Hollywood, so give him some credit.
Huh? Please don't shoot the messenger.
Robert Conrad gets lots of credit for being able to breathe, walk and talk after he happily consumed enough ethyl alcohol to register three times the legal blood alcohol limit.
Conrad gets even more credit while in same inebriated state, he was able to guide the ignition key straight into the ignition of his Jaguar, and then drive his Jaguar awhile before he plowed it straight into another car driven by a young man who suffered injuries requiring hospitalization.
A Hollywood stunt man couldn't top all that and live to make a "decent remark."
Conrad's remark was decent but his actions weren't.
Robert Conrad does not live anywhere near Hollywood.
