Joe Patroni, err, George Kennedy, dead at 91

[FWAAA]

George Kennedy has died:

George Kennedy, the burly character actor who won an Academy Award as a chain-gang leader in Cool Hand Luke, threatened Audrey Hepburn as a hook-armed villain in Charade and was a crusty mainstay of 1970s disaster films before veering into satire as a clueless policeman in the Naked Gun film series, died Feb. 28 at a nursing home in Middleton, Idaho. He was 91.

Looks like a Kennedy marathon for me tonight. RIP, Mr Patroni.

I met him in the late 70's when I worked at Neiman Marcus in Dallas.  He was a BIG man...super nice though.

Great character actor and was in one of my all time favorite Clint Eastwood movies, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
