4. James Garner was always a favorite of mine. Just saw a bunch of western films I'd not seen p

previously with Garner. Whether playing the "good guy" or the (sort of) "bad guy," he always had a bit of a twinkle in his eye and a humorous edge.

He was just a very entertaining actor.

5. Garner was a great Democrat (see photo below with Dianne Carroll at March on Washington)

I love the "Rockford Files" still. The scoundrel "Angel" character is a favorite of mine.

8. Just like Dick Clark, he never aged.

Well, I mean until he died.

Maverick shows up on one of the old TV show networks. Grit TV probably. Let's see. Oh, it's on MeTV:
