James Gardner

His last name is Garner, dipshit.

I have to agree. He was cute even into old age. I had a major crush on Jim Rockford, even as a little kid.

The handsomest man who ever lived.

Gardner McKay, OTOH...

OP is probably confused between the two of them.

James Garner was one of the sexiest hunk of man to ever grace the screen, back in the day.

His old series 'Maverick' is on every Sunday on MeTV. I rarely miss it.

I own a little vintage clothing shop in LA and have a pic of him hanging on the wall. A regular customer told me after a few visits she was James' daughter's best friend. She said James was always so kind and warm. A good Democrat and he raced Mini Coopers-I LOVE him.

He was gorgeous as Maverick and even more handsome as Rockford. One of the few actors who could transition between movies and TV.

He was quite the stunt driver. There's a maneuver called The Garner that he perfected. It's hard to explain but I'll try: It's braking a speeding car and pulling a 180 so it's aiming in the other direction.

Yes, R9, decades before Garner did it on The Rockford Files, it was known as a bootlegger's turn. I call it the Rockford 180. He did it quite well, but the maneuver has been around almost as long as automobiles have.

His sister, Ava Garner, was pretty hot as well!

Classic. This should be on the thread about shows that defined a decade.
