Thread Name: OBIT James Coburn (2002)
Subject: RE: OBIT James Coburn
A fine actor, and IMHO one of the best "movers", for want of a better word, that I have ever seen on screen. He moved with a unique cat-like grace, ( a quality he also shared with Yul Brynner, but possessed by precious few actors these days).
He further endeared himself to me by revealing in some British chat show interview (Parkinson or Wogan, probably ) that he talked to trees. The host seemed to think he was joking, but Coburn soon set him right.
