Cinderella Liberty opposite Marsha Mason.

RIP Mr. Caan.

I was there too. It's a forgettable film, probably not worth Duke's participation. I remember the audience cheered when a character mentions that the fictional Eastern State University beat UNC.



Yeah, I'm his #1 fan. He lent some gravitas to the otherwise silly TV show "Las Vegas".

Pretty sure no one else remembers this, but "Will & Grace" makes a bizarre James Caan reference:



So now every time I think James Caan, I think shorty robe.

Didn't his son, Scott play Danny on the now cancelled Hawaii Five O?

Yes. Scott also was in Varsity Blues. I know this because my daughter watched that movie 100 times.

It was mentioned in the first post.

Had forgotten his time in "Bottle Rocket."

I read a great article about how he mentored everyone in the film that launched the careers of Luke and Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson.

But he's still a good guy.

Misery. Poor guy.
RIP Mr. Caan.

Could have been worse. In the book she uses an axe (or ax if you prefer).
