Hal Holbrook RIP (1 Viewer)

[Terp152]

Hal Holbrook died at age 95. Famous, aside from many movie and tv appearances for his one man Mark Twain performances. We saw that in the Louisville Rocco Palace Theater yrs ago. He had a looooong pause during the monologue which became uncomfortable after a while. Never knew if it was part of the act or he had forgotten his lines. Nevertheless the show was magnificent. And of course he played Capt John Rochfort in the original Midway movie. Chris

He had a long career but I remember him for some reason for a small role in "The Fog." He played Father Malone a depressed priest who drank a lot and waited around for ghost pirates to murder him. Quite a plot. Great music in that one as well.
