James Coburn died

[Guest Dmann2000]

Didn't see anyone start this, but Coburn was a real cool actor and he had that great gravely voice. Damn, my dream of him playing John Huston will never be realized now. At least I heard he died listening to music with a smile on his face.

So who are the other 2 celebrities that will die?

[Guest Ravenbomb]

that's, what, four of the Magnificant Seven left?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

3 left, Robert Vaughan, Charles Bronson and Brad Dexter. Steve McQueen, Yul Brenner, Jorge Martinez de Hoyos and now James Coburn are all dead from the original film. Eli Wallach who played the bandit Calvera is still alive.

 

Coburn was really a great actor who walked that thin line of trading on his image and being recognized as a fine actor to a T. His voice and face were instantly recognizable and I guess this leaves Jack Palance as the most grizzled man in Hollywood.

[Guest Choken One]

What happen to Palance since City Slickers 2?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Palance has pretty much just made a bunch of forgettable tv movies and direct to video crap. Recently he played Ted Danson's father in the CBS mini-series Living with the Dead.

[Guest ryankeast]

I actually thought Palance was dead as well.

 

Yes I agree that Coburn was a great actor - a great screen presence

[Guest dreamer420]

Coburn was a great talent. I really enjoyed him in Maverick for some reason.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Coburn was one of the two along with Charles Bronson to escape in The Great Escape.

 

He was also starred in the first Bond movie spoof. Our Man Flynt.
