I enjoyed Garner's autobiography 'The Garner Files.' Garner did not have the movie star ego and was a true professional, but he admits that he was quick tempered and insecure as well. He wasn't afraid of using his fists and did so on a few occasions. One of them was when he knocked out Anthony Franciosa. Franciosa was a hot tempered guy who was acting like a jerk to the stuntmen during the filming of A MAN COULD GET KILLED [1966]. Garner told him to knock it off, Franciosa didn't, so Garner knocked him out.

He was BORN on the SAME DATE as someone I KNOW and LOVE! THIS person is STILL ALIVE!!

Although Garner had a temper, he did not have the Hollywood ego that Douglas and Curtis had. Garner would never have put up with their arrogance. He put some like Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and Anthony Franciosa in their place [Franciosa literally].

Agree. He was so 'not Holllywood', but real. Unlike the phonies of today and even in his day. Actors like Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, and the rest were big headed assholes.

No **** Sherlock.
But he didn't just try it he kept on smoking it, you clueless dolt.
And you have a problem with this???

This is an interesting interview.
He really was a wonderful actor. He's another who could do drama as well as comedy.
I loved Murphy's Romance.

Garner punched his stepmother and almost choked her.
I think this led to his hatred of bullies. He described punching a few of them in his autobiography [including actor Anthony Franciosa].
And yes, Sally Field said Garner was the best kisser.

He's a favorite, so handsome
I did hear about his step-mother's abuse of him. People who abuse children are the lowest forms of life

I read Garner's autobiography. He had a tough upbringing, but he came through it modest and successful. He never let stardom go to his head.

If you haven't already, you might want to check out his memoir,
The Garner Files
(co-written with Jon Winokur). Well done, shows him to be quite modest, good-humored, without being self-serving - he seems like a really nice person. Amazing - though not entirely uncommon - how someone with such a rough childhood could grow up to be so warm and kind, with so little gentle behavior modeled for himit almost makes you think people are innately good. (His mother died when he was very young and his father didn't protect him or remarry well until the father's last marriage.) I like James Garner's politics, both personal and global. I agree, a real class act. Too rare overall and I think especially rare in Hollywood.
Also, check out
Duel at Diablo
. I'm not even a fan of westerns, and it's one of my favorites. The first 10 minutes establish Garner's character (as principled and compassionate as Garner seemed) beautifully. Great score, too.
RIP, Mr. Garner. And
thank you
