Always enjoyed him particularly in his most famous appearance, as Jane Russell's boyfriend in GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES. Does Laura Wagner have a blog/website?

Brock Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm still in denial until there is a news source or official obit...but his memorial banner is ready to roll in case it is true. Feel like watching Move Over Darling or The Thrill of It All tonight in his honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 He is one of my favorite character actors too. Reid also appeared in Lucy Visits the White House and Milton Berle is the Life of the Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 This is so strange. The L.A. Times had his obituary up for about half a second and now it's offline again. I suppose it is now official, however. !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 The LA Times mentions Reid's impression of JFK, I assume that he was the one to do the President's voice in Lucy Visits the White House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Underlined for emphasis?? Nope, as much as I LOVED him, it's just my computer doing these stupid ass things like underlying, switching to small print, xxxing everything out, getting a capital E instead of a ? And such.
