Free For All Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Terrible news! He's one of my favorite actors, I love his work. I hope his recovery is speedy and complete. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 strangest thing is that he was driving a 1997 car - newer ones, which I hope he can afford, are much safer - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiern Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Back in the'70s, I saw him regularly at Jim and Andy's, a NYC hangout for jazz musicians--he is obviously into the music. Here is an item from the NYT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieB Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 have read some encouraging news that although he has some fractures, it doesn't look like there's anything life-threatening. hope this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sounds like he may have reached the age where he shouldn't drive anymore. In any case, I hope he recovers quickly and completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sounds like he may have reached the age where he shouldn't drive anymore. In any case, I hope he recovers quickly and completely. 71 isn't THAT old. I don't know what happened, but people can drive badly/crazy or just have an accident at any age. Hope I don't have to quit driving when I hit 71 - though if my driving skill have eroded, I hope that I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILLYQ Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Good thing he had his seatbelt on! If it's true that he dozed behind the wheel, it's a shame and something that happens all too frequently. Driving while tired is a real grind and in this case, dangerous. I recently did a 6.5 hour drive while sick(massive congestion) & tired. I had to make frequent rest stops and a few times I started drifting into the next lane- it was scary.
