[chrissa1]

James Garner has died, at 86 years old. A great actor. RIP.

loved him in Maverick... funnily enough I have no recollection at all of brother Bart or who played him.

86? Seems like y'day I watched TRF. R.I.P. James

RIP Jim Rockford. I loved watching that show as a ki, let's hope his passing prompts some repeats.

Sorry jordyboy, it is Sunday and I had just woke up when I logged on here... No need to get your knickers in a twist, fella. ;)

jno, I do recall Roger Moore playing one of them.

I liked James Garner in all his tv series and films, sorry he has died, we never think that favourite people/ film stars can grow old and die.

Just googled and here's what I found:-

James Garner as Bret Maverick; Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick; Roger Moore as Beau Maverick; Robert Colbert as Brent Maverick.

Wow, I didn't even know there were FOUR Mavericks, I thought there were only three.

Anyway, not wishing to detract from the purpose of this thread...

R.I.P. James.

R M played a relative Beau I think.
