I was sad to see that a favorite actor of mine had died today. James Coburn died of a heart attack at his home while listening to music with his wife. His wife said he died in her arms, but died “fast and happy”.
Ever since I saw him in The Magnificent Seven, I’ve liked him. He had this aura about him that commanded respect. Even in his comedies, he had it. He still had it in his later movies like Maverick and Payback as well. It was the way he held himself, his voice and cool manners.
Rest in peace, old timer.
