..The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. I haven't seen it in years but I recall it had that element of surprising, absurd violence that shocked and delighted simultaneously.

He was so accessible on the screen. As a boy, I was thrilled and genuinely inspired by his adventurous, bigger-than-life, playful portrayals.

He is sometimes criticized for never full inhabiting his character, remaining above the role, winking at the audience, so to speak. I felt this quality of his was strongly attractive and contributed to the vital, enduring connection between him and the audience.

He lived life artfully. He was a genuine STAR.
