He left Company soon after it opened because he objected to it morally I guess. It was one of the first Broadway musicals to deal with adult themes - divorce etc...

Thanks for that URL, it was an inspiring article. Dean Jones may have started off on the moral wrong foot, but he ended up just fine, as one can see.

Thanks for the post, I confess I haven’t followed Dean’s career as perhaps I might, but now I have an incentive to reacquaint myself with his work and perhaps others will too.

He and Buddy Hackett in The Love Bug was as good a pairing as there ever was.

For some reason I was thinking Tommy Lee Jones is his brother. does anybody know about that??
To: Borges
Met him once at the studio when they put his hands in cement. Loved the Herbie movie with Buddy Hackett.
Great guy. R.I.P.

I grew up with Dean Jones’ movies and my favorite one was, “The Ugly Dachshund.” Oh, if only such decent movies were mainstream today. RIP Dean.

For some reason I was thinking Tommy Lee Jones is his brother. does anybody know about that??Wikipedia has Tommy Lee Jones parents as His mother, Lucille Marie (née Scott), was a police officer, school teacher, and beauty shop owner, and his father, Clyde C. Jones, was an oil field worker.
Dean Jones parents are Andrew Guy Jones, a traveling construction worker, and Nolia Elizabeth White Jones.
So, I guess it's possible ;)

Love that movie. So much so that I have a Siamese named “Canoe” and an original movie poster framed.

As a child, I had wanted to own a Volkswagon. RIP, he was an actor who only wanted to entertain audiences, had no agenda otherwise.
