Wouldn’t it be fun if we knew each other. I loved the WHI. Salisbury is a beautiful town. Actually though I read the article wrong, and assumed it was the Bancorp in Litchfield, and he is from Salisbury. So although I did spend a lot of time in Lakeville and salisbury, it isn’t my hometown at all. lol

Ragamont, oh my goodness, I haven’t thought about these places in years. Like a walk down memory lane!

He’s lost his mind. Too bad, he was a good actor. I think he’s been arrested twice fairly recently for drunk driving and now this. Wow.

Elmore "Rip" Torn, born Temple, Texas. "Rip" is a family-tradition name for all males in the Torn family for generations.

His cousin is Sissy Spacek, his mother's niece.

His second wife was actress Geraldine Page till she died in 1987. They had three children. Now married to a minor actress....they have two children. All his children are grown.

Dennis Hopper pulled a knife on him in an argument on a movie set. The judge awarded Torn half-a-mil plus another half-a mil in punative damages.

The little gray cells go kah-plooey from the booze.....I've witnessed this many times in my life, as have a lot of us, I'm sure.

He was a good actor and a very good-looking dude in his heyday.

It would have been cool had he yelled out, when placed under arrest, “Cinco Skully’s Catches of the Day!”

(What can I say, I watched Summer Rental 10 times on video in the summer of 1986 or so.)

I can’t imagine Salisbury being a very big town. Did he actually think he could get away with it? Christ, even Butch and Sundance knew better than to rob banks from the same town they lived in.
