He brings a smile to my face too. I had a huge crush on him when he was on Rawhide. :)
He was quite the dude back then. I can see why.
I’m a guy, so it’s not the same for me, but I’ve always liked him. He played a good character on Rawhide. I was too young to fully appreciate his role, but I did come away with a positive image of him.
It remains to this day.
