He didn't have a phony bone in his body. When the cameras weren't rolling, he was just one of the guys. Great fun to be around & an equally great sense of humor. One of the more enjoyable shows to work on. Especially fun was driving those Pontiac Firebirds. We used three cars each season. They were base models, with formula engines. Many mornings, I had breakfast with Noah Beery,Jr., who played Rockford's dad, Rocky. Very easy-going guy. Noah was Wallace Beery's nephew.

I've read the book (twice now) and never want it to end each time. There was another Garner 3 hour interview, done a long time ago, posted on YouTube. It started out with a female interviewer for the first part, then a male for the consecutive parts. It was ok (a lot of questions asked, but not good ones like yours!) It would have been so much more itneresting if YOU wold have been the interviewer. I really like your style.

Respect him all the more for guarding his privacy, but interesting to learn a little more about someone who has a special place in many lives.<br />(Jenna)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-29666995005480191992011-10-30T23:23:04.277-07:002011-10-30T23:23:04.277-07:00Now I gotta get that book.

Given his private nature, I doubt he'd be doing any joint book signings (but I hope I'm wrong). Heard of any coming up?
