James Arness (1923 - 2011)

Sad news today.  After my lighhearted post about Glenn "Sam the Bartender" Strange yesterday, I just saw the news that James Arness passed away today of natural causes.  He was 88 years old.

This is just a year after his brother, Peter Graves left us.  Graves was 83.

Those two were giants in Hollywood, in more ways than one.  The brothers were both over 6 feet tall.  They brought me a lot of pleasure over the years, with quality acting in everything they touched.

They were not Bit Actors in any way, and they will be missed.
