Sad news this morning, James Garner died at home yesterday.
According to the obit, Mr. Garner had a stroke back in 2008, so I can only assume his passing yesterday was not unexpected.
I always liked James Garner in the movies.Garner, who built a six-decade career playing ruggedly charming, good-natured anti-heroes and received the highest honor of the Screen Actors Guild in 2004, was found dead from natural causes on Saturday night at his Los Angeles home, according to police.
There were no further details immediately available on the circumstances of his death. Garner underwent surgery for a stroke in 2008, two years after appearing in his last big-screen role as a wealthy grandfather for a film adaptation of the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift".
