Shaw got some good lines, too.
“Here lies the grave of Mary Lee,
She lived to the age of 103.
For 40 long years she kept her virginity,
Not a bad record for this vicinity.....”

Remember the line, “You must lead a charming life.” to Frog #2 when he came by auto impound to pick up his car?
Never understood how they stripped that car down to the rocker panels, then restored it completely, so quickly.

The part about him being a typical leftie was, I thought of interest as this board occasionally discusses politics...
The part about his character in Marathon Man being gay, was, I thought just interesting. I had never noticed it until I read an interview with Scheider in which he revealed that he was interested in the role because it was so complex, and that the character being gay was part of what made the character so. I then watched the movie again, and could pick up on it, but it was very subtle.
He passed away in the early 80’s IIRC.
I also thought that was a blown line. Thought he should have said, “You must be leading a CHARMED life”.
I care about political discussions on this board only when it comes to politicians' stances and professional political analysis. I don't care about actors and their politics - whatever their views may be. I especially don't care about an actor's politics when he's passed away and barely cold! That's just the way I feel about it. No offense intended.
I live in Little Rock and the morning paper said Roy had been at our fine UAMS Medical Center on and off for the last two years being treated for skin cancer, He died of a Staph infection. Very sad. I absolutely loved watching Roy in movies and he will be missed. Very underrated Actor.
I remember seeing him in that movie and thinking, "Now that's a man! He is totally hot!" And I was at least 20 years younger than him.
RIP, Roy. Your fans will miss you!
I had no idea and I saw that film twice!
Oh great, that just blew my young girl fantasies to hell!
I agree. Remmeber the scene where one of the crewmembers found some "outlawed" hamburger and was cooking it secretly in his room?
Another crew member came in and said "What is that awful smell"

Maybe that's because Gene Hackman never really grew old, and Scheider was always a little bit younger.
“Stay healthy. We need you.”
Doin’ my best in Massachusetts,but it isn’t easy around here.
“The Wages of Fear” is of an order of magnitude greater.
I saw part of it once, but not enough to decide whether it was better.
