for James Garner's Health" under Starpulse Entertainment News. Sounds
like good recovery is distant.

Wasn't that report from August of 2008?
AlbertClarkson
Yes, it's over a year old. No news may be not good news in these
matters, but hopefully that's wrong and we'll get a better report one
of these days. (I haven't come across a more recent one myself.)

Al, last I read, Jim recently did some voice-over work. How recent,
I'm not sure. I also read that he'll be playing Charles Dickens in a
production of "A Christmas Carol" come this December. I think it's in
Maryland.
Also, I noticed that the imdb has nothing listed for Jim since
2007,...acting-wise, that is. However, he is listed as being an
associate producer for something called "Chemistry" from this year.
If all of this is accurate, I'd say Jim is doing very well.

Hey, Brian, thanks! That's good news. BTW: It's interesting that some
scriptwriter has inserted Dickens into his "A Christmas Carol" given
that so far Dickens has never been there because he never put himself
there! "A Christmas Carol" is a seminal story that, as they say, has
always and will always speak for itself (which is the whole idea
anyway). Or maybe James Garner as Dickens isn't in Dickens's drama but
talks to the audience as an impersonator of Dickens before and/or
after the drama to give an imaginary idea by some panderer today--
probably a Larry King and Access Hollywood fan--of how Dickens, a dead
celebrity or "deleb," might have "framed" his own story, which I'm
strongly guessing Dickens wouldn't have liked since he figured the
story did that itself; otherwise Dickens could have written an essay
or just given an interview to the London Times about showing
compassion and humanism, especially during Holidays, though an essay
and/or interview would have been forgotten long ago. I'm glad Garner
got the role, but the role sounds dopey. Time for a Duquesne.
Where the hell is RNEILL? I miss stuff like "the dam book."

Indeed. First I'd heard about it, but Mr.Garner has ballooned nicely
over 70 and lives life like a Cherokee Production.
Knowing so little about his personal affairs (outside a few of the
sordid ones), my question is who will get the estate?
You watch ... then the books will emerge to vaporize all the
illusions ... sort of like the DVD and the interest in this topic.
