Zilch. :lol: Of course, Ryan O'Neal had just inadvertently burned down the room the night before (why they didn't kick him out immediately after the fire is anyone's guess. :P)

Oh I didn't make that gif (the source link's Tumblr did), but it's literally John's only scene in the movie and he's so memorable. :D

Indeed!

What better way to celebrate the Mr. Hillerman's big day than by remembering the Birdman of Budapest!

For those who haven't seen it, here's John in the Hawaii Five-O episode "A Stranger in His Grave". (Thanks to Rembrandt's Girl for pointing me to this in the Pahonu thread. :))

Edit: Here's John's other episode "Man on Fire", also guest-starring Pat Hingle and Alan Fudge. :)

I just saw a Murder She Wrote episode (1992 - Murder on Madison Avenue). Hillerman starred as an eccentric toymaker and he had ballooned in weight. He also looked much older than his 60 years at the time. Some of it could have been makeup. I have heard that his health was not that good and there was an internet death hoax just recently as well as another recent report that he just split from his wife. I never know what to believe any more. [sigh]

If Mr. Hillerman is in Texas right now, I pray he's being taken good care of with the hurricane approaching. From what I'm seeing, Harvey is gonna be a big one.

(Higgins is planning defences against the approaching storm)
Magnum: This isn't a war you know. I mean, once nature sets it's course, you can't do anything to stop it.
Higgins: You can if you're British!

He comes from good DNA, hopefully he is taking a break from his all on assault of Harvey and enjoying a Whiskey without any bloody damn ice.......
