i cant remember ever seeing james garner give a bad perfomance , everything he did on tv & film are just great.
J.G. was a class act. But still gave you the impression he was just a regular joe. 👍💪
Yep ....he even killed Bruce Lee on film .
I’m related to him he was my great grandmas cousin
Oh I love him!! I have all the episodes and all seasons of Rockford files
@@KNBARON In "Marlow". :D
People had him on their cover as "The last real man." Strong, humorous and a gentleman. He was always fun to watch.
Tom Selleck had a recurring role on the Rockford Files......he took note of how James treated
everyone on set. When he was given the role of "Magnum" the producers wanted his character
to be a dashing ladies man. Tom convinced them that Magnum should be just a regular guy, flaws
and all. Very much like Jim Rockford. Good move.
Selleck's character "Lance White" was performed brilliantly. He and Garner were great together.
@@dougpoulton5544 Would have been nice to have Garner on an episode of "Magnum".
"Lance, is that you.....what's with the mustache?
@@burgcarli929 This gave me a good laugh! You wrote it just the way Jim would say it! Golden.
Interesting thing about actors. Tall actors generally act amongst themselves selves.
You never saw a John Wayne, and James Cagney, or Humphrey Bogart movie.
I love James GARNER BECAUSE HE WAS A NATURAL
A good person, also; not a jerk, like Eastwood.
The Theme from The Rockford Files was one of the greatest tv themes.
Peacock has the Rockford Files.
I’m a 78 year old Englishwoman and I was ‘in love’ with James Garner for YEARS ❤️😘
I always adored James Garner, watched his TV shows with my Mom and enjoyed every movie of his I saw. No surprise he was just a good all around guy
He worked very hard on Rockford, overseeing virtually every aspect of the show. Giving Noah Berry Jr .(Rocky) a payday during his latter years illustrates the humanity of Garner.
He was just a good guy, always liked on screen
Mr. Garner was on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson one evening. Mr. Carson asked him what he contributed to his long-lasting relationship with his wife. James said, "The success was being able to say just two words often, those two words were, 'yes dear." I took those words to heart and I can say it has helped with my relationship with my wife.
Mine too; my wife and I've been married over 30 years and, thanks be to GOD, still going strong.
My favorite James Garner movies are Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter.
If you havent seen them, I recommend them
He was great in Comedy roles
Just Super a truly Great person..
He and Jack Elam were a riot in the sheriff flick, watch it anytime it’s on. 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Not just handsome, but honest and humble as well.
Very insightful. I'm watching "Rockford Files" now and I see the charismatic charm of Garner as the heft which makes every episode entertaining. Brando is overpraised considerably while Garner is the real deal with versatile expressions that may seem faked but are not. Brando is terrified to be thought weak while Garner plays himself relaxed knowing he's strong within.
I have always loved James Garner! My father reminded me of him. ♥️
Always carried the flavor of an Oklahoman. Oklahoma, the most American of states.
My husband and I had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks on the set of “Decoration Day” with James Garner and Bill Cobbs in June of 1990. Our little tin roof pre Civil War little home was used as the home of “Gee” played by Mr. Bill Cobbs. Both Mr. Garner and Mr. Cobbs were true gentlemen. Both men made very nice company. They were polite to everyone working on the set and to my family and friends who visited. I had three horses in the pasture. Someone left the barn door open and my horses just walked out of the barn and into the yard among the cameras and other expensive equipment. I could picture the horses bumping into a camera. Mr. Garner and I were talking between shots when we saw the horses coming. Mr. Garner and I turned around and walked them back to the barn without incident. The barn door was wide open. While closing the door Mr. Garner looked at me and said something like “One if these city slickers must have gone in to pet the horses and didn’t have enough sense to shut the gate.” We both had a bit of a laugh about it. We had a great time that I’ll never forget. He told me that Julie Andrews and Doris Day were his favorite ladies to work with. He told me about accidentally breaking Ms, Day’s ribs while picking her up while making “Move Over, Darling” She was giving Polly Bergen a rough back rub in the scene and he pulled her off of Ms. Bergen. When he picked her up he didn’t know that her broke her ribs, and she finished the scene in great pain and no complaints . He said that she was a real trouper. He talked about Ms. Andrews and Ms. Day like he was a little bit in love with both of them, but I could tell how much he loved his wife. He talked very sweetly about her and Gigi. RIP friend.
James was one the good guys from when I was a kid and continued through out his long acting career. And I respected him ,because like Paul Newman they where faithful to their wives. I do miss the real actors and actress of that Era. Keep up the good work love your videos and your accent too. 👌❤🌞
James Garner was a class act. My parents were married for over 50 years but I always suspected my mother would ditch my dad for James.
He had such a good style to his acting and was always a pleasure to watch his movies and tv shows. I would say he is overall my favorite actor and the world is a better place for having him. I loved the Rockford Files and Support your local Sheriff.
For me,James Garner is in a way the person I see him on screen,pleasant looking,honest,funny and very likeable.His faithfulness to his marriage as one of Hollywood top celebrity of his time speaks a lot about him.For me,he and Paul Newman are just some of the exceptionally few morally good n great actors of Hollywood.
"James Garner Thought that Steve McQueen Was His Bother"....How much of a bother was he?
James Garner's likeness was the model for Troy Tempest star of 'Stingray' created by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson.
Yes, I know what you mean, once it's been pointed out you can see the likeness; if you were a fan of "Stingray" as a child then "Rockford Files" as a teenager/adult you would probably have already made the connection.
I always thought that!
Two very attractive men!!!!! James Gardner, and Steve McQueen great video as normal, James Gardner a great actor and nice person, Happy Christmas to all, hope santa brings you what you want!!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I doubt he will get the motorbike i like down the chimney haha
@@frantrictantric Hi Dave, now if I was Santa I would get it down the chimney LOL Have a fantastic Christmas & stay safe . Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺😊 P.S. he is Magic after all 😎
There is a handful of truly fine, great actors and Jim Garner had to be number one. He never made a bad film and he reminded me, in ways, of Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda, maybe Glenn Ford. Anyway, on my list of the greats who I liked very much, and watch over and over, never tire of them...James Garner. I watched Murphy's Romance with my girlfriend a "zillion" times...Sally Field was so excellent, esp. in that picture.
I was fortunate enough to have metJames Garner in 1961 I caddied in his group, he was introduced to me by the young boy he has a caddy we were all 13/14 at Roy Rodgers 9 hole course in Chatsworth, Ca he walked right up to me and said hello and shook my hand. There was Maverick right in front of me talking to me and being very nice. He told us “boys I have a temper and you may have chase a few clubs.” . He even told my golfer what to pay me. Great memory.
He was great to watch on tv and the big screen
I love James Garner and Steve McQueen 💙
Steve once gave a young actor advice...said avoid dialogue. He did avoid dialogue
Garner was always one of my top 5 favorites....especially since he could have been my fathers twin brother!!! Looked just like him, acted just like him, even sounded just like him!! And fortunately I got a lot of my Dad's looks also.
I used to love those old Poloroid commercials with him and Hartley.
I would have loved a race car movie with Garner & McQueen!
Love your narration and accent
McQueen was jealous of Jim Garner when he got the lead role in the 1966 movie Grand Prix. Supposedly McQueen wouldn't speak to Garner for one year as he wanted the race car driver role himself.
Which McQueen got in "LeMans".
the hell with egotistical Steve McQueen. Garner was a better actor and person. Way better looking too.
That is true
Not true, McQueen turned down the role on Grand Prix. He was just upset that his good friend Garner would accept the Grand Prix role when he knew McQueen was going to do LeMans.
I loved James Garner, his role on Maverick was AWESOME with Jack Kelly. Loved his movie work too EXCEPT the Victor/Victoria.
L loved Victor/Victoria 💖💖💖💖💖
One of James Garner's best roles was in the 1964 film 36 Hours which also starred Eva Marie Saint and Rod Taylor. Garner played an American Major involved with the D-Day Invasion and stopping the German's efforts to defense against it.
"Every sane person's favorite movie star". I like it!
Love James Garner for many reasons. Just love him still.
I'm pleased that my Auntie Gloria had the opportunity to work w/ Garner on a couple of TV programs just prior to his break-out "Maverick" series. (She also appeared w/ McQueen on several other shows as well.)
He was a good actor and Rockford Files was a great show. Loved his role in Maverick and his cameo role in the movie.
My Dad loved watching him.
James was certainly my favorite and for so many years!!!!!! I did love him!
Cool how he voiced (against type) the villain in Disney's Atlantis film. He starts out as just one of the team, then halfway into it shifts superbly into Mister Nasty.
Garner never thought that Mcqueen was his brother.They were friends and later neighbors.Mcqueen had a bad temper and had a ego issue.
Both brilliant and oozed charisma.
One of my favorite actors. I love his character on Maverick and the Rockford files and on movies one of my favorites is Victor/Victoria.
James Garner was a good old Oklahoma boy..
Why don't the photos shown match up with the people you are commenting on?
I see James Garner... I have to click... jimbo! RIP
Except no one ever said Garner was a spousal abuser or an alcoholic.
Wonderful quotes from Garner's admirers.
McQueen's last wife said James Garner , Lee Majors knocked on their door the first week of living together . She came in from shopping and Paul McCartney was sitting at their table having coffee with McQueen.
That is awesome, wow! 🙂
James Garner was a decent good human, too.
That photo of Garner, McQueen, and Coburn together has a thread--- the latest fad pinned to their macho images : the martial arts ; all students of Bruce Lee.
According to McQueen's bio, he and Garner were next door neighbors at one point.
James and Steve best of the best
He was from my home state of Oklahoma and he was, without a doubt, the coolest guy we ever produced.
One Grew Up Oklahoma and the Other Missouri. Both Fine Actors.
Garner was a Class Act
Please one of these about David Janssen
I always liked both James Garner and Steve McQueen
I love that newer generations in my age bracket were introduced to him through newer movies like The Notebook. I remember watching The Rockford Files on reruns with my mother when I was a kid. Great actor and stunningly handsome even with age.
Thumbs up. Nice narration.
Well, didn't Robert Blake think he saw Steve, in New Orleans, with a shot gun once? Steve must look like a lot of people.
I thought Steve was my brother -- we both drink Lucky Lager! Cheers, wsj
A sign of Garner's terrific personality is that he remained friends with also Steve, who antagonised other strong male actors - not just dark-haired!😁 e.g. Yul Brynner on the Westworld movie shoot, haha.
Maverick! Drool.
But I liked his "brother" best. Though, I liked the Kodak commercials, which then led to his other TV programs. Hmmm.
The Rockford Files.
Hi Age of Vintage, how are you going? This is a fascinating insight into the lives of James Garner & Steve McQueen. I loved him in the TV show The Rockford Files. He was brilliant in The Great Escape, A Movie version of Maverick starring along side him was Mel Gibson & Jodie Foster. Victor /Victoria with Julie Andrews. One of his standout performances was in the film The Notebook, playing alongside him were Rachel Mcadams, Ryan Gosling, as the young lovers & with Gena Rowlands & himself when they got older. He was a very handsome, charismatic, faithful, & just an all round affable guy who was an extremely gifted actor. His problems with Steve McQueen, was based on Steve always wanting top billing, was never happy if he thought someone else had a better character than him, he actually could be quite a pain on set as he always wanted the best of everything, it has been commented he was quite jealous of any other actor who played in the same movie as him. James Garner passed away at the age of 86 in 2014, he is survived by his wife Lois Clarke & his two daughters. Another Hollywood Great gone forever, thank goodness for DVD's & television. Love Love from Australia 🇦🇺💙💙💖💖💛💛💜💜💚💚📽📽🎬🎬⚘⚘⚘💋24.12.2020.
Great actors. James Garner was a great nice person
@@dalehall2067 Thankyou for your reply Dale. Totally agree with you. Cheers Ruth from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Ruth! 🙂 ❤️
@@AgeOfVintage Thankyou so much for you're lovely reply as always Love Ruth 🇭🇲📽🎬💖💚💛❤💋💋
Bother=Brother on 'Age Of Vintage' anyway?
I grew up watching him because of my Mother, grew up to enjoy his work on my own.
My favorite actor hands down
A true Oklahoman from Norman. They are bit quiet but give'm a challenge they will make you look great with egg on your face.
...and they will look great even with egg on their face.
Kool guy, Garner was!!!
I ran into McQueen on the way to the beach at a gas station in Hollywood. He had one of his sports cars with him that day.
I looked at him and you could tell he was unapproachable, chip on his shoulder. He didn’t know I was the son of one of legendary jazz drummer who he was a big fan of, had he known, maybe it would have been different.
LOVE GARNER
💎💜💎
McQueen was just a teenage crush.
Great in the movie Marlove.
Crystal Gayle/Loretta Lynn, Shirley MacClain/Warren Beatty, Helen Slater/Christian Slater, James Arness/Peter Graves (the family last name was Aurness).
Loved James Garner and Tom Selleck together. This added to Garner, oh well, attitude of his character. He also was a Vet.
The Great Escape
Garner was an “outstanding person and performer” ! McQueen was indeed an ornery “little shit”, but we all loved him ! When I was a teenager a friend of mind and I rode our bicycles over to the Okla State Fair to see Jim make an appearance in his Maverick outfit, he was his usual “cool self”.
Another time he was surprised to be on “This Is Your Life”, and an old friend came out and said that once Jim had given him his coat to which Jim replied that’s ok I probably stole it anyway ! Great man, husband, and father ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m confused, you say that there was animosity and then they were good pals, which is it?
Both
You can care for a person but not like the decisions they make. People who are insecure tend to lash out at others a lot and that can be very wearing.
Never heard of him but he seemed to be a pretty brave, solid, stable, cool guy and very driven. 👍👏
Never heard of which one of them now?
@@kevinbergin2225 James Garner ! Everybody knows Mcqueen.
Amiable but not to be pushed around.
I loved everything Mr.Garner ever played
I wished he had done more
Movies
AMIABLE...
The Rockford Files was one of my favorite shows.Here's a strapping guy a who behaves the way a real person his size who actively uses his interject does - reason it out and use force only when absolutely can't be avoided, then run away. He is a private eye who's keen of consequences for causing a fracas.. He just wants to get the job as low key and with the least amount of muscle used.
I think most would find Hunter a watchable show- I'd start with the pilot, which starrs Brian Dennehy in a notable role.
When Rockford punched someone he threw his whole body into it and immediately wrong his hand in pain.
That's a real reaction there!
I liked that MacGyver (1985-89) did the same.
Would have been prudent if the still(!) photos illustrated the spoken narration - and the contradictions in the description of Garner & McQueen's relationship doesn't improve the credibility of the information throughout.
Otherwise, a comfortable voice and an interesting story.
He's SUPER!!!!!!!
Some earlier photos of young James would have been nice.
you blow by some photos and dont mention they were at the march on washington. i think he is with dianne carol
Along with Charlton Heston, Harry Belafonte Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, etc.
Great actor
Of course, I too was a little in love with James Gardner. Practically every one of his characters he played I fell in love with. As for James Gardner the man, I definitely was not in love with. I didn’t know him at all. Maybe if I had met him and got to know him I might’ve been in love with him a little bit or a lot. One thing that always talked at my heart was a man that was loyal to his wife. Without fail out fall in love with them, due to the fact that they are in love with their wife. This love is not a romantic love. But a cherished love out of respect.
Sooo Steve McQueen was just a Giant Tool! Great to know! But good guys finish last JG! Love ya man!
NBC 's Hunter (1984-90) seems inspired by Rockford Files with three exceptions:
1. Hunter worked in law enforcement
2. His humor was Dryer (pun)
3. Hunter had regular run-ins with his dad who is a crime boss who keeps appealing for his son to join him and /or "look the other way." How are those for bonding moments?
Did you know you can edit titles to correct them?
James was a gentleman.
James's Garner Steve Mcqueen His Brother,?? REALLY!!!! From UK 🇬🇧.
James was a gentleman
Tall, dark, and handsome. Always a weakness for me.
How about fixing your headline typo.
Rockford files, Columbo, and Twilight Zone. Rewatches.
I've heard Garner say McQueen looked up to him like an older brother .
Garner badmouthed McQueen and Charles Bronson in his autobiography.
Waited untill they'd been dead a few years .
That is not nice... 😟
@@AgeOfVintage You forgot to mention that Gerry & Sylvia Anderson used James Garner's likeness as the model for Troy Tempest the star of 'Stingray'.
McQueen and Bronson both had very rough childhoods that probably effected them for the rest of their lives. Bronson's family was so poor during the depression that when he was five he had to wear a hand me down dress from his older sister because they couldn't afford to buy clothes for him.
Brother or bother? Which is it?
Both
"Bother"? 😅
