[@deeanthony7713]

OK...I did not see nor hear anything about ''The Awful Truth''.....WHAT 'Awful Truth'? I, dearly, loved James Garner in EVERYTHING he was in, but he pulled on my heart strings with '' Maverick''. Even though I was a child, back then....in fact, a tot/baby, I DEARLY LOVED HIM!!!! I use to tell my parents I was going to marry him, someday. I am 67, and even, to this day, he makes my heart sing!

[@davethorstry6700]

Exactly, it was "great good truth" how he kept his marriage and family together despite the challenges. No mentioned here, and by, his own admission, he smoked marijuana from a early age until late in life.

[@deeanthony7713]

@@davethorstry6700 Smoking Marijuana, I am 100% sure, is what helped him keep him sane, in a, really, insane job.

[@blueskysailing]

I had a crush on him, too. 😍 He was such a handsome guy. I liked him best in, The Rockford Files.

[@trishkosky7966]

Me too wish ALL NEN were like him!!!!!❤❤❤

Beautiful comments ❤️

While attending UCLA, I was hitch hiking back to school one afternoon. I was picked up by Mr. Garner. About a 5-minute ride down Sunset Blvd. I mostly knew him from The Great Escape (a wonderful motion picture) and other films. We engaged in conversation. What a pleasant and friendly Man! He clearly loved acting. What a great experience for an 18-year-old guy (now 67). You touched many lives Mr. Garner.....Including mine.

1. In the mid-nineties, I knew James Garner’s cousin & wife. 2. Frank & Karen Bumgarner. 3. Frank & James’ fathers were brothers. 4. Wonderful people who spoke highly of James. 5. They showed me photos with them & James on the set of “Murphy’s Romance” with Sally Fields.

One of the FEW that were dedicated to family and didn’t have a bunch of crap said about him. True gentleman.

[@montyforster3370]

Rockford of course. Could have used ten more seasons. Hell never be replaced

[@ddigitalsavant4327]

he made more money off the syndication

[@donalddube3145]

Apparently he had to quit making the series because of all the injuries he got from doing his own stunts.

[@FactsVerse]

We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?

[@BrianPatterson-tl8xc]

@montyforster3370 Who knows? Maybe less time since would have robbed us of some of the cool reminisces we remember of them.... Who knows?

[@lynsilva7037]

I think James Garner had integrity, intelligence, looks, compassion, honesty. I think what you saw on the screen is also what was inside that man. From everything I read about him seems to back up my beliefs. My favorite actor, and person as a good one. Loved Rockford Files with Noah Berry and the movie Murphy’s Romance with Sally Fields.

[@FactsVerse]

Beautiful words, thank you for your message for James. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?

[@alicegordezky5264]

There is no awful truth. Why the exaggeration? Another clip bait title. Shame on you.

[@RX552VBK]

Exactly! Bait click!

[@RedheadLondon]

The titles often say 'tragic life and end' of such and such an actor, and it is nothing but their life story, which has the same struggles we all go through. I saw one which said the death of Rod Stewart, and I had to Google it to check and see if he was still alive!

[@allahalibaba9063]

One of a kind in Hollywood.. The industry could use and have more of this kind of actor.....

[@Veronica-vero252]

I soo LOVED him in Murphys Romance! My all time favorite movie. He was such a talented actor. ❤

[@wallymarcel1]

I worked with him on 8 Simple Rules. He was fantastic, personally and professionally.

[@robyndonaldson2290]

James Garner was always my favourite Actor I absolutely loved the Rockford files and he is always how I picture him a wonderful dad and husband ❤

[@eviegill942]

One of my favorite actor. Good husband and father.

[@FactsVerse]

Glad to know that you're a fan of James. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?

[@caroltanzi29]

I had the good fortune of meeting James Garner on the set of Maverick. I was 15 years old. He was charming and so good looking. I remember it like it was yesterday. I like both roles, but of course, Maverick had more personal meaning to me. However, I watched Rockford too. Carol from California

[@FactsVerse]

We're very happy to know that you had a chance to meet James. Thank you so much for sharing your life story. We're also a big fan 💗💗

[@DeniseBates-c4t]

I've always loved James Garner in every role he played. He always reminded me of my own Dad. It turns out that he was just like me Dad. My Dad was in the Navy and in the Korean War and got blown off a ship only him and one other man survived. The rest of the crew perished. But my Dad was always a dedicated family man to My Mom and my brother and me. He was a handsome guy just like James Garner. He passed away when he was 68. The same age I am today. He had Parkinson's Disease and he passed away from a massive heart attack. But I have to say that every time I saw James Garner when he was still acting and believe me I watched everything he was ever in including The Gift with Brian Dennehey and Abigail Breslin and that young man Drew Fuller. I felt the comforting words of my own Father through James Garner. One of the best actors that ever lived. We just don't have men like that anymore. 😘🙏❤️💙😇😇

[@FactsVerse]

You're a true fan! Thanks for sharing. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

[@tomgrant3893]

The story I heard him tell was that he basically fell into acting through an agent at a strip mall office, with no formal acting training, a vet actor I liked said that he was such a natural that the formal wasn't necessary. I've seen and like Maverick, my favorite is the Rockford files. I watched with my stepdad who loved Noaah Berry who that he was great at playing the dumb dad who was actually way smarter than he let on. I miss those kind of shows.

[@FactsVerse]

He was from my city and he is well-respected here. There is a large statue of him next to the train station to honor his memory. We knew about his childhood & other things and it didn’t lessen our respect for him.

I did love Maverick and rockford files... but really loved him as Zack, in Tank, and as Shep Walker in the "...yaya sisters" where he stayed thru thick and thin with his wife portrayed by Helen Brsyton (which would have had a normal man running into the night).. he was a wholesome family man in those movies..TFS ❤❤❤❤

[@charlesharper2357]

What "Awful Truth"? Stop suggesting sleaze to get views...

[@johnkrieger185]

Sorry, but I didn't catch the "awful truth".

[@equine2020]

Reports back then had him abusing Lois, his wife. He had a temper. She left him 3 times. Went back till he passed. Read his book. His childhood affected him.

[@gerryring]

His legal battles pertaining to "The Rockford Files" was with Universal, NOT Warner Bros.

[@rongendron8705]

Warner Bros. 'ruled' over their acting stable of players, with an 'iron hand', paying their top stars as little as $500. a week! Garner did balk at this & I believe, may have been suspended, once! I met James Garner in 1963 & also spoke to Clint Walker, ( on a radio show) 2007, about Jack Warner's treatment of his 'fantastic' array of young & talented players!

[@jennifermorgan8348]

Of course I never met him but I always thought that if I did we would become best friends because he had that sort of personality.

[@lindauribe6872]

In a few words....I liked him. Some of his movies like The Notebook were my favorites.

Support your local sherif and Murphy's romance are probably my favorites, but to be honest, I loved him in every role. My fellow Americans with Jack Lemon was such a hoot. I've got his autobiography and in it he comes across as the man of integrity, which I always believed him to be, so phrases like 'reveals the awful truth' and 'what did Gigi endure behind closed doors' are an OUTRAGEOUS SLUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elaineproffitt1032]

I loved everything he did! So handsome and such a good actor! I bet Doris Day loved working with him. But he was great in drama too. RIP Mr. Garner!

You need to fix this title, real quick, please. The picture of his daughter looks Photo Shopped. THANK YOU for your research on James!

I agree. There's no need to make Garner sound like he was a bad person to get people to watch your video. That's the furthest thing from the truth. He was a very caring and generous man.

My brother was friends with one of his mistresses back in the 70’s I met her once, while he was a married man. I was married to an actor so I know how many of the men cheated even holding a rep for being a great family man! I heard all the stories from my husband about the huge number of men he knew had mistresses or just constantly bedding random women, if you don’t believe it that means your not in a show biz family!
