James Garner of 'The Rockford Files' dies

#4

They don't mention his role in the epic racing movie "Grand Prix".  The story behind it is amazing.  It was so realistic that when Enzo Ferrari saw outtakes from the production he gave his blessing to involve Ferrari in shooting the movie. But what was even more notable was the praise Garner received from the veteran race drivers involved in the production.  Garner actually drove race cars during shooting.  Several said that Garner could have been a successful Formula One driver had he chosen that path.  

I always enjoyed his on-screen personas.  He provided realism by portraying characters who would rather talk their way out of a fight, and occasionally lost when they couldn't.
