Joe Burdette ( Claude Akins ) , brother of rancher Nathan Burdette , watches as a barfly ( Myron Healey ) , tosses a silver dollar into a spittoon . Presidio County , Texas , Sheriff John T. Chance ( John Wayne ) appears and kicks the spittoon away , looking at Dude with disgust . Dude is shamed by his plight and takes out his anger on Chance , knocking him out with an ax handle . Joe begins punching Dude , then shoots and kills an unarmed bystander who tries to intervene . Joe heads to his brother 's saloon , where a bloody Chance comes to arrest him for the murder of the bystander . Another patron draws his gun on Chance , but Dude shoots the gun out of the man 's hand . Joe is locked up in the local jail . Chance is willing to deputize Dude , provided he can stay sober . Both remember how good with a gun Dude used to be . Chance 's friend Pat Wheeler ( Ward Bond ) and his wagon train of supplies stop in town , with a young gunslinger , Colorado Ryan ( Ricky Nelson ) , riding guard . Inside the jail , Stumpy ( Walter Brennan ) , Chance 's game - legged deputy , keeps watch over the jail and Joe , who knows that Stumpy holds an old grudge against Joe 's wealthy and powerful brother . Joe warns his jailers that Nathan Burdette will not like how his brother is being treated . A mysterious woman nicknamed Feathers ( Angie Dickinson ) is in the saloon , playing poker . In the meantime , Dude and Chance patrol the town . Hotel owner Carlos ( Pedro Gonzalez - Gonzalez ) stops the sheriff , saying Wheeler has been talking too much about Chance needing help . In the saloon , Chance implores Wheeler to stop , as it will draw attention from the wrong people . Wheeler suggests that Colorado could be of assistance , but Colorado politely declines , saying he wants to `` mind my own business '' . Colorado also promises not to start any trouble without telling the sheriff first . Feathers leaves the poker game a winner . Chance follows her up to her room and confronts her as a card cheat , with his evidence three missing aces from the deck of cards being used in the game and a handbill indicating she is wanted for card cheating . Colorado intervenes , saying another participant in the game is the real cheat . They confront the card cheat and prove his guilt . Chance refuses to apologize to Feathers for doing his job , but is no longer in a hurry to make her leave town . As Wheeler is walking back to the hotel , he is shot dead by a Burdette man hiding in the stable . Colorado offers to help , but is angrily turned away by Chance , who says , `` You had a chance to get in this and you did n't want it . '' Chance and Dude flush out the shooter , who escapes into Nathan 's saloon after Dude wounds him . Dude believes the man has muddy boots , but everyone in the bar has clean boots . Two of Burdette 's men suggest Dude needs a drink and one throws a silver dollar into a spittoon . The bartender puts a beer on the bar , but Dude notices blood dripping into the glass from above . He turns , fires , and kills the shooter . Chance goes back to the hotel to sleep . Without his knowledge , Feathers stands guard at the door to keep him safe , then returns to her room when he awakens . Chance discovers what she did and advises that she should leave on the next stagecoach . Nathan Burdette ( John Russell ) arrives in town with his men , intent on seeing his brother Joe . Dude is standing guard and confiscating all guns . One of Burdette 's men ignores him until Dude cuts one of his horse 's reins with a single shot . Nathan agrees to turn in their guns until they leave . Carlos says Feathers will not get on the stagecoach . She tells the sheriff she does not want to leave , then gives him a kiss . He indicates if he were not in such a fix at the jail , things between them might be different . Colorado visits the jail to tell Chance the meaning of a song , `` Degüello '' , or `` The Cutthroat Song '' , that Nathan is paying men to play at his saloon . The song , reported to have been played by Antonio López de Santa Anna 's men at the siege of the Alamo , indicates that `` no quarter '' will be given to one 's enemy , no mercy . Dude is trying hard to stay sober . He is given back his guns ( the ones he had before he left town , sold by Dude , but bought back by Chance ) , as well as some clothes he left behind . The next morning , while Dude is standing guard at the town entryway , four Burdette men attack him from behind and tie him up in a stable . Others get the drop on Chance , whose rifle is just out of reach . From inside the hotel , acting on Colorado 's instructions , Feathers throws a flower pot through a window a moment after Colorado steps out on the porch , distracting the Burdette men . Colorado quickly throws Chance 's rifle to him and the two men shoot the three Burdette hands . Chance decides to have his men hole up in the jail , as it will take several more days for the United States Marshal to arrive to take Joe to the Presidio . Dude 's nerves are shot , but as he is about to take a drink , the sound of `` The Cutthroat Song '' played by Burdette 's musicians steels his resolve . He and Chance go to the hotel to round up additional supplies , but Carlos and Consuela are captured by Burdette 's men , who trick Chance into charging and falling over a rope tied at the bottom of the stairs . Dude and Feathers are unable to help . Chance is ordered to take the men to the jail to let Joe go . He is reluctant to do so , but Dude implores Chance to cooperate , saying that Stumpy is alone and has no food or water to hold out very long . The remaining Burdette men at the hotel take Dude hostage and Nathan Burdette offers to trade him later for Joe . Stumpy opens fire at the jail , holding off Burdette 's men . Chance and Colorado then take Joe to make the trade for Dude at a warehouse , leaving Stumpy behind because of his bad leg . During the trade , walking in opposite directions , Dude tackles Joe and they scuffle while a gunfight erupts . Stumpy turns up and helps even the odds . Dude overpowers Joe . The lawmen throw dynamite sticks at the warehouse where Burdette and his men are based , shooting the sticks to explode them . After a few explosions rock the warehouse , the criminals surrender . All is quiet in town as Chance gets reacquainted with Feathers , who models a skimpy new costume she will be wearing in her new job singing at the hotel . After a pair of sheer tights comes floating from a window to the street , a delighted Stumpy retrieves it , but Dude cautions him to mind his own business . Cast ( edit ) John Wayne and Angie Dickinson in Rio Bravo John Wayne as John T. Chance Dean Martin as Dude Ricky Nelson as Colorado / Ryan Angie Dickinson as Feathers Walter Brennan as Stumpy Ward Bond as Pat Wheeler John Russell as Nathan Burdette Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez as Carlos Robante Estelita Rodriguez as Consuela Robante Claude Akins as Joe Burdette Joseph Shimada as Burt Malcolm Atterbury and Harry Carey Jr. also receive a screen credit in the film 's opening , but their scenes were deleted from the final film . Production ( edit ) Ricky Nelson performing the song `` Get Along Home , Cindy '' in Rio Bravo Exteriors for the film were shot at Old Tucson Studios , just outside Tucson . Filming took place in the summer of 1958 , and the movie 's credits gave 1958 as the year of production , although the film was not released until 1959 . Rio Bravo is generally regarded as one of Hawks ' best , and is notable for its long opening scene which contains no dialogue . The film received favorable reviews , and was successful , taking in over US $ 5.5 million . The musical score was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin . His score includes the hauntingly ominous `` El Degüello '' theme , which is heard several times . The Colorado character identifies the tune as `` The Cutthroat Song '' . He relates that the song was played on the orders of General Antonio López de Santa Anna to the Texans holed up in the Alamo , to signify that no quarter would be given to them . The tune was used the following year in Wayne 's film , The Alamo . Composer Ennio Morricone recalled that director Sergio Leone asked him to write `` Dimitri Tiomkin music '' for A Fistful of Dollars . The trumpet theme is similar to Tiomkin 's `` Degüello '' ( the Italian title of Rio Bravo was Un dollaro d'onore , A Dollar of Honor ) . Because the film starred a crooner , Martin , and a teen idol , Nelson , Hawks included three songs in the soundtrack . Before the big showdown , in the jail house , Martin sings `` My Rifle , My Pony , and Me '' ( which contained new lyrics to a Tiomkin tune that appeared in Red River ) accompanied by Nelson , after which Nelson sings a brief version of `` Get Along Home , Cindy '' , accompanied by Martin and Brennan . Over the closing credits , Martin , backed by the Nelson Riddle Orchestra , sings a specially composed song , `` Rio Bravo '' , written by Tiomkin with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster . Nelson later paid homage to both the film and his character , Colorado , by including the song `` Restless Kid '' on his 1959 LP , Ricky Sings Again . Members of the Western Writers of America chose `` My Rifle , My Pony , and Me '' as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time . A brief clip from Rio Bravo was among the archive footage later incorporated into the opening sequence of Wayne 's last film , The Shootist , to illustrate the backstory of Wayne 's character . High Noon debate ( edit ) The film was made as a response to High Noon , which is sometimes thought to be an allegory for blacklisting in Hollywood , as well as a critique of McCarthyism . Wayne would later call High Noon `` un-American '' and say he did not regret helping run the writer , Carl Foreman , out of the country . Director Howard Hawks went on the record to criticize High Noon by saying , `` I did n't think a good sheriff was going to go running around town like a chicken with his head cut off asking for help , and finally his Quaker wife had to save him . '' According to film historian Emanuel Levy , Wayne and Hawks teamed up deliberately to rebut High Noon by telling a somewhat similar story their own way : portraying a hero who does not show fear or inner conflict and who never repudiates his commitment to public duty , while only allying himself with capable people , despite offers of help from many other characters . In Rio Bravo , Chance is surrounded by allies -- a deputy who is brave and good with a gun , despite recovering from alcoholism ( Dude ) , a young untried but self - assured gunfighter ( Colorado ) , a limping `` crippled '' old man who is doggedly loyal ( Stumpy ) , a Mexican innkeeper ( Carlos ) , his wife ( Consuela ) , and an attractive young woman ( Feathers ) -- and repeatedly turns down aid from anyone he does not think is capable of helping him , though in the final shootout they come to help him anyway . `` Who 'll turn up next ? '' Wayne asks amid the gunfire , to which Colorado replies : `` Maybe the girl with another flower pot . '' Reception ( edit ) In the United Kingdom , Rio Bravo was not originally even reviewed for Sight & Sound ; in August 1976 , Leslie Halliwell gave the film two out of four stars , describing it as a `` cheerfully overlong and slow - moving Western '' that was nevertheless `` very watchable for those with time to spare '' . The film was taken more seriously by independent British critics such as Robin Wood , who rated it as his top film of all time and wrote a book on it in 2003 for the British Film Institute , publishers of Sight & Sound . It now has a 100 % Rotten Tomatoes rating and was the second highest - ranking Western in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics ' poll of the greatest films ever made . In 2008 , the American Film Institute nominated this film for its Top 10 Western Films list . Remakes and inspirations ( edit ) Remakes ( edit ) Howard Hawks went on to make two loose variations of Rio Bravo , on both occasions under a different title . Both of these remakes were directed by Hawks , both starred John Wayne , and in each case , the script was written by Leigh Brackett . All involve lawmen working against an entrenched criminal element , partially by `` holing up '' in their jailhouses . The first remake , El Dorado , was filmed in 1966 , but its release was held up by Paramount until the late summer of 1967 . In this film , Robert Mitchum played the Dean Martin role , Arthur Hunnicutt the Walter Brennan character , and James Caan the Ricky Nelson role . Hawks again named the Nelson / Caan character after a state ( in this case , Mississippi ) and in a wry , humorous twist on the original film , Hawks made him inept with firearms , but skilled with a knife . The second remake , Rio Lobo , was made in 1970 with a plot much further off the original mold , starting with the absence of a lawman - turned - drunkard character . This began with a Confederate train robbery of a Union gold shipment during the American Civil War , then moved to a postwar Texas county thoroughly controlled by a rich , arrogant rancher . The heroes , with the exception of an old man similar to Brennan and Hunnicutt 's characters in the previous pictures ( Jack Elam here ) , were complete outsiders . Along with Wayne and Elam , this movie starred Mexican film star Jorge Rivero ( as Frenchie ) , Christopher Mitchum ( Robert Mitchum 's son ) , and Jennifer O'Neill . Inspirations ( edit ) Feathers ' dialogue was occasionally inspired by the character of `` Slim '' ( Lauren Bacall ) in the 1944 To Have and Have Not , as when , after the first kiss , she says : `` It 's better when two people do it , '' recalling the phrase `` It 's even better when you help ; '' and again later when she says , `` I 'm hard to get -- you 're going to have to say you want me , '' recalling Slim 's `` I 'm hard to get , Steve -- all you have to do is ask me . '' L'homme à l'étoile d'argent ( The Man with the Silver Star ) , a 1969 album from the French comics series Lt. Blueberry was directly inspired by Rio Bravo . The plot is virtually the same . Blueberry plays the role of sheriff John T. Chance ; McClure , a whiskey - adoring old man , combines the roles of Dude and Stumpy ; Dusty plays the role of Colorado ; Miss March , the teacher , plays the role of a less morally challenged Feathers ; and instead of the Burdettes , it has the Bass brothers . John Carpenter 's 1976 film Assault on Precinct 13 , though not a remake of Rio Bravo , was inspired by the film . Carpenter borrowed some elements from the earlier film 's plot , but set it in 1970s Los Angeles . He also paid homage to the original film by using the pseudonym `` John T. Chance '' , the name of Wayne 's character , for his editing credit . This film was also remade in 2005 by Jean - Francois Richet , starring Ethan Hawke , Laurence Fishburne , Gabriel Byrne , Maria Bello , Drea de Matteo , John Leguizamo , Brian Dennehy , and Ja Rule , moving the film 's setting to Detroit . Ghosts of Mars , a 2001 film also by Carpenter , retains many of the elements that were developed in Rio Bravo and Assault on Precinct 13 , but takes place in a science - fiction setting . The Nest , a 2002 film by Florent Emilio Siri , starring Samy Naceri , Benoît Magimel , Nadia Farès , Pascal Greggory , and Sami Bouajila , is a quasi-remake of Assault on Precinct 13 . Borrachón : A Prequel to Rio Bravo , by Kevin Cullen , 2016 . This book is a prequel to the Rio Bravo story and film and provides the complete background leading up to the classic tale .

Perry played college football for Clemson University , and was recognized as an All - American . He was selected in the first round of the 1985 NFL Draft , and played professionally for the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL . In reference to his imposing size , he was popularly known as `` The Refrigerator '' or , abbreviated , `` The Fridge . '' Perry also occasionally played at fullback at the goal line due to his size and power . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early years 2 College career 3 Professional career 4 Beyond football 4.1 Business ventures 4.2 Music 4.3 Media appearances 4.4 Trivia 5 Personal life 6 References 7 External links Early years ( edit ) Perry was born in Aiken , South Carolina . He has stated in an interview that `` Even when I was little , I was big '' ; by the time he was 11 years old , he weighed 200 pounds . Frequently ridiculed for his weight while growing up , Perry took advantage of his athleticism to silence his critics . He attended Aiken High School and played as a 295 - pound nose guard on the school 's football team and ran on its track team . During an exercise in which his coach instructed all of his fastest players to line up for a 100 - yard dash , Perry joined the group of running backs , wide receivers and defensive backs and eventually was timed as the 6th fastest runner on the entire team , with a time of 11.00 seconds flat . He was also able to run the 100 meters under 12 seconds , and competed in the shot put event , recording a top - throw of 16.44 m ( 53 ft 11 in ) . He could also execute 360 - degree dunks on regulation basketball hoops and perform complicated dives into the swimming pool . College career ( edit ) Perry 's athletic performances earned him a full - ride scholarship to attend Clemson University in Clemson , South Carolina , where he played for coach Danny Ford 's Clemson Tigers football team from 1981 to 1984 . He was a member of a national championship team in 1981 , and was recognized as a consensus first - team All - American as a junior in 1983 . As a freshman in 1981 , he earned his `` refrigerator '' nickname when a fellow player could barely squeeze into an elevator with Perry and their laundry which they were taking to be washed . The player , Ray Brown , said `` Man , you 're about as big as a refrigerator . '' Professional career ( edit ) In 1985 , he was selected in the first round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears ; he had been hand - picked by coach Mike Ditka . However , defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan , who had a highly acrimonious relationship with Ditka , called Perry a `` wasted draft - pick '' . Perry soon became a pawn in the political power struggle between Ditka and Ryan . Perry 's `` Refrigerator '' nickname followed him into the NFL and he quickly became a favorite of the Chicago Bears fans . Teammates called him `` Biscuit , '' as in `` one biscuit shy of 350 pounds . '' While Ryan refused to play Perry , Ditka decided to use Perry as a fullback when the team was near the opponents ' goal line or in fourth and short situations , either as a ball carrier or a lead blocker for star running back Walter Payton . Ditka stated the inspiration for using Perry as a fullback came to him during five - yard sprint exercises . During his rookie season , Perry rushed for two touchdowns and caught a pass for one . Perry even had the opportunity to run the ball during Super Bowl XX , as a nod to his popularity and contributions to the team 's success . The first time he got the ball , he was tackled for a one - yard loss while attempting to throw his first NFL pass on a halfback option play . The second time he got the ball , he scored a touchdown ( running over Patriots linebacker Larry McGrew in the process ) . About halfway through his rookie season , Ryan finally began to play Perry , who soon proved that he was a capable defensive lineman . His Super Bowl ring size is the largest of any professional football player in the history of the event . His ring size is 25 , while the ring size for the average adult male is between 10 and 12 . Perry went on to play for ten years in the NFL , retiring after the 1994 season . In his ten years as a pro , he regularly struggled with his weight , which hampered his performance at times . He played in 138 games , recording 29.5 sacks and five fumble recoveries , which he returned for a total of 71 yards . In his offensive career he ran five yards for two touchdowns , and had one reception for another touchdown . Perry later attempted a comeback , playing an unremarkable 1996 season with the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football ( later NFL Europa ) .

Music ( edit ) During his popular tenure with the Bears , Perry participated in the recording of two rap records , both in 1985 , in addition to the team 's very popular `` Super Bowl Shuffle '' . Walter Payton and Perry recorded an anti-drug , pro-peace rap tune entitled `` Together '' which was written by four Evanston , Illinois teens . It was re-released in 1999 with part of the profits going to the Walter Payton Foundation . Media appearances ( edit ) Perry participated in a World Wrestling Federation battle royal at WrestleMania 2 in Rosemont , Illinois in 1986 . In 2006 , he returned to the Chicago area to be inducted into the `` Celebrity Wing '' of the WWE Hall of Fame by John Cena . In 2000 , he was defeated by Bob Sapp in a toughman boxing competition on FX . In 2002 , he lost in the third round to 7 ft 7 in ( 2.3 m ) former NBA basketball player Manute Bol in a charity boxing match on the Fox Network 's Celebrity Boxing program . In 2003 , he appeared in Nathan 's Hot Dog Eating Contest as a `` celebrity contestant . '' He stopped eating 5 minutes into the competition . This was parodied in an episode of TV Funhouse from the November 11 , 2006 episode of Saturday Night Live in which Takeru Kobayashi plays a hot dog eating superhero . After Kobayashi saves the day by eating a lot of hot dogs , a cartoon William Perry makes an appearance saying `` Damn ! '' in Japanese . He participated in the 2006 Lingerie Bowl as the super sub . He made a guest appearance in the 1980s television show The A-Team . In the 21st episode of the 4th season ( The Trouble with Harry ) `` Fridge '' signs into the same hospital The A-Team is using to help their friend Harry recover . Throughout the episode , Perry only has a few lines -- including the funny : `` They 'll never catch him '' , referring to his NFL playing days -- but he gives out `` Bears '' caps in the final scene .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A 30 - something man ( XXXX ) , is a London underworld criminal who has established himself as one of the biggest cocaine suppliers in the city , with effective legitimate cover . Considering himself a businessman and patience as a prime virtue , XXXX leaves the darker aspects of the business to his henchman Morty , a man having recently ended a 10 - year prison sentence for murder . Once he has earned enough to ensure his long - term financial security , XXXX plans to retire . On the evening XXXX intends to set these plans into motion , his sponsor and powerful supplier Jimmy Price puts two crucial missions in his hands . The first is to track down Charlie , the teenage daughter of Jimmy 's associate Eddie Temple , who has fled a rehabilitation centre along with her drug - addicted boyfriend Pinky . XXXX decides to enlist two con men , Cody and Tiptoes , to perform this task . They investigate , and find the boyfriend dead and Charlie apparently kidnapped , although no ransom has been demanded . The second mission Jimmy assigns to XXXX is to organise the purchase and distribution of one million ecstasy tablets from a low - level gangster who styles himself `` The Duke '' . Unbeknownst to XXXX , the pills had been stolen from a gang of Serbian war criminals based in the Netherlands , a massive drug production outfit with an honour - avenging bent . XXXX encounters the Duke 's out - of - touch nephew Sidney at a bar and becomes attracted to his disillusioned girlfriend Tammy . XXXX tries to broker the sale of the ecstasy pills to Liverpool gangsters Trevor and Shanks , but they refuse , informing him of the drugs ' purloined nature , and that in response the Serbs have sent an assassin , known as Dragan , to find the pills and kill those responsible for their theft . Duke had mentioned XXXX 's name to the Serbs beforehand , so he too is in danger . Members of the Duke 's gang soon start turning up dead and the Duke himself goes missing . XXXX arranges a tryst with Tammy , but before it can be consummated , he is kidnapped by henchmen of Eddie Temple , father of Charlie , the missing girl . Eddie informs him that Jimmy Price has recently lost £ 13 million in a failed investment in Africa and planned for XXXX to find Charlie so Jimmy could take her hostage until Eddie could get him his money back . Jimmy was also hoping to sell the pills to recoup his losses ; Eddie then plays XXXX a recording indicating that Jimmy has been a long - term informant for Scotland Yard and intends to betray XXXX to the police as soon as the deal is done , planning to gain clemency from the deal and also take away XXXX 's wealth . Eddie demands that XXXX sells the pills to himself instead . A furious XXXX shoots and kills Jimmy at his home , but does so with a gun that Gene , Jimmy 's henchman and his main liaison with XXXX , had used to commit a prior murder , putting Gene under police attention . XXXX then discovers that his accountant , who operated his legitimate front and was referred to him by Jimmy Price , has stolen all of his money and disappeared . Gene and Morty initially suspect XXXX of foulplay ; after being shown the evidence of Jimmy 's snitching , the pair acknowledge XXXX as the group 's new acting boss and show him the corpse of the Duke . Gene killed him along with girlfriend and crime - partner , Slasher , when the latter threatened to alert the police about the pills . To recoup something from the fiasco , XXXX tips the police off to the Duke 's hideout , who then conduct a raid . XXXX is intentionally present during the raid to feign purchasing the pills from the Duke 's crew , and Dragan , who has been following XXXX , witnesses the raid from afar as the police confiscate the drugs while XXXX and Duke 's surviving crew escape . Meanwhile , XXXX has arranged for Cody and Tiptoes to infiltrate the raiding police and con the unit out of the pills . XXXX delivers the severed head of the Duke to Dragan as a peace offering , who reports back to his Serbian boss that the police have seized the drugs . Cody and Tiptoes return the drugs to XXXX in exchange for a fee , and XXXX in turn looks to sell them to Eddie Temple as planned . However , during the handover at the latter 's bonded warehouse , Eddie 's henchmen rob his crew of the drugs at gunpoint . To end XXXX 's faux assignment given by Jimmy , Eddie reveals that his daughter Charlie 's boyfriend died at his men 's hands ; she was recovered before Jimmy Price ever tasked XXXX with finding her , and Eddie had her put back into rehab all this time . To mollify XXXX , Eddie gives him a `` Welcome to the Layer Cake '' : a membership to the Stoke Park Country Club of which he is ( and Jimmy was ) a member . Expecting betrayal , XXXX successfully arranges for Trevor , Shanks , and young Dizzy to steal the drugs back from Eddie 's men . The gang assembles for lunch at the Stoke Park Club , honoring XXXX their new boss . However , he declines , stating his intention to stick to his planned retirement all along . When leaving the club with Tammy , mentally running through the names of his fellow murdered businessmen he hopes to avoid joining , XXXX is shot by a heart - broken Sidney . XXXX collapses bleeding , and he lies twitching on the front steps while contemplating his possible death .

The opening sequence includes a shot of Lord standing on a penthouse balcony of The Ilikai hotel . Chin Ho Kelly , the name of the police detective played by Kam Fong , was a tip - of - the - hat to Ilikai developer Chinn Ho . Lord 's catchphrase , `` Book ' em , Danno ! '' , became a part of pop culture . He was instrumental in the casting of native Hawaiians , instead of mainland actors . Lord insisted his character drive Ford vehicles ; McGarrett drove a 1967 Mercury Park Lane in the pilot , a 1968 Park Lane from 1968 -- 1974 , and a 1974 Mercury Marquis for the remainder of the series ( this very car was shown in the 2010 remake ) . Lord was a perfectionist . At the airing of its last episode , Hawaii Five - O was the longest - running cop show in television history . When series creator Leonard Freeman died in 1974 , the show 's ownership was shared among Lord , CBS and Freeman 's estate , with a contract that made Lord executive producer and gave him complete control over content . He was a hands - on partner who paid attention to minute details , and was known for battles with network executives . Artist ( edit ) During his years at NYU , Lord and his brother Bill opened the Village Academy of Arts . Jack 's childhood dream was to become an artist . His first professional sale was in 1941 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for his two linoleum cuts , entitled Vermont and Fishing Shacks , Block Island . Personal life ( edit ) Lord 's first marriage to Anne Willard ended in divorce in 1947 . Lord met his son ( from his first marriage ) only once when the boy was an infant . The boy was later killed in an accident at age 13 . Jack met his second wife while house hunting in upstate New York . On January 17 , 1949 , Lord married Marie de Narde , who gave up her career in fashion design to devote her life to him . Marie designed Lord 's off - camera wardrobe , as well as her own . Lord was a chain - smoker who failed at traditional methods of quitting . According to Lord , it was his faith in God that broke his habit . Lord and a friend visited a Catholic church where both knelt while Lord promised God he would stop smoking . Lord was known for being a cultured man who loved reading poetry out loud on the set of his television show and for being reclusive at his Honolulu home . Popular culture ( edit ) Cinematographers sometimes refer to a 50mm lens ( `` 5 - 0 '' ) as a `` Jack Lord '' in reference to the name of the show that made him famous . Actress Traci Lords chose that stage name because he was the first man to make her `` hot . '' Death ( edit ) After his series ended in 1980 , Lord kept a low profile , rarely making public appearances . His final TV appearance was that same year in a failed pilot for a new CBS series called M Station : Hawaii which he also directed . Lord suffered from Alzheimer 's disease for seven years before his death . He died of congestive heart failure at his home in Honolulu , on January 21 , 1998 , at age 77 , leaving an estate of $40 million . He was a philanthropist and the entire estate went to Hawaiian charities upon his wife Marie 's death in 2005 . Lord 's death was not widely covered by the media ; accordingly , Randy Cassingham used this as the start of his Honorary Unsubscribe featurette in his online newsletter This is True . Memorial ( edit ) A bronze bust of Lord by Hawaii sculptor Lynn Weiler Liverton was unveiled in a ceremony at the Kahala Mall on June 19 , 2004 . The Lords lived in a condominium in the Kahala area , and they were known to frequent the neighborhood mall . The nonprofit Jack Lord Memorial Fund , which raised the money for the memorial , was co-chaired by British Hawaii Five - O fan Esperanza Isaac and Lord 's co-star Doug Mossman .
