how frequently does the letter "g" appear in:
don knotts has died at age 81. knotts died friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications at cedars-sinai medical center in beverly hills. i interviewed him twice. once over the phone and once in person at a music theater in pigeon forge. he was such a charming and gracious man. he used his life to make others laugh. now that's a life well spent.
when i heard the news just a little while ago about don knotts, i thought to myself...i bet terry has something to say about him. and you did. he was the funniest guy--his barney fife was such a classic character, it's no wonder he won 5 emmys for playing him. i bet he was a sweetheart to interview. so glad you got that opportunity, terry!
omg, i just blogged about this story. and i can't believe you had the honour of meeting and interviewing him. i envy you for that. i loved his mr. furley.
he will be fondly remembered. :-)
he's mr. furley to me too.
my favorite: furley ordering food in french.
"i'll have the soup doo-jer and the escargots."
lol! i forgot about mr. furley! the hair piece and those really bad 70s clothes were great!
how about the ghost & mr. chicken? that's one of my all time favorite movies.
don knotts will always be barney fife to me especially since i've recently become a "revenuer". we'll have to look to someone else to "nip it in the bud". i enjoyed the matlock's when he was reunited with andy.
mark evanier over at news from me met don a couple times and tells some stories and says knotts in real life was more like mr. furley than barney fife.
