Marc

One of my favourite actors.
He was 91 years old.

May he rest in peace.

He is in David Lynch's The Straight Story for only about 5 minutes at the end, but it was worth the wait!

I learned from him never to go looking in dark, isolated compartments for a cat.

Oh no! We were just discussing this in a film thread earlier this week, Cato. What a great scene.

I will always remember Harry as the father in Pretty in Pink (sorry, I grew up in the 80s) but mostly from this scene in Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas...



If you haven't seen this film, watch it. But this particular scene is beautiful.

Indeed.
