11. For those younger DU members...
The 6'4" Kennedy worked in TV westerns beginning in the 50's until his first movie in the 60's after which he worked in both -- over 200 credits! He won an Oscar for Cool Hand Luke. He got to work with many of the greats including Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood and Bette Davis. |

14. Wasn't he in many disaster flicks.

All those airport flicks. Certainly he made at least one of them. Yup! He was in all four Airport flicks as the same character.
And I forgot about Charade with Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Walter Matthau. A great flick! He played the guy with the hook on one arm.
