“Personality. Gotta have some kind of personality and you don’t wear your personality on your body. It’s gotta come from someplace.”
–James Coburn

i have appreciated him ever since “the great escape.”
i now worship the hat he is wearing in the first picture.
interesting to see what delicate hands he had in his youth which were later ravished by the effects of rheumatoid arthritis…he was definitely the style-setter of the 70s!
JC was indeed the MAN back in the day. From Flint to the President’s Analyst to Giù la testa. They don’t make ’em like Coburn anymore…
