RIP Red Buttons


Recommended Posts

For all the entertaining that guy has done, it's a small shame that the first thing that pops into my head when I see his name is the Shelly Winters death scene in "The Poseidon Adventure."

At least it isn't the scene where she's swimming through the water with her skirt billowing out around her sizable frame. Skeered me as a kid.

 

I didn't realize until last night that Buttons won an Academy Award.

For the two others here who might have known him, Sam Myers passed away on Monday. RIP to a great bluesman.

 

His long-time collaborator, Anson Funderburgh, may look familiar to many of you. That's because Anson's former bassist and long-time friend was a man by the name of Mike Judge, who used Anson as a "human model" for one of his early cartoon characters...

He did a lot of cool stuff, but I really liked his character in "And Justice For All."

I really liked him in "Used Cars" with Kurt Russell. He played 2 roles."I'm Roy B Fuchs GD it!" :D Very good comedy with some late 70's humor....

:P
