Seemed to me that he was half Higgins, half himself. The accent was there, but not very strong. Fun to see these old award shows.

Maybe it's me, but every time I see an update in the John Hillerman section I get nervous.

Conch, buddy. It is NOT just you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Once I see the little yellow flag, I prep myself for an "oh mannnnnn"

Hi CR..I agree with both you and Doc's thoughts when I see that yellow flag.

Not a big deal.

Some of you may remember that Hillerman's Waikiki condo was for sale again.At the time we saw the listing photos of the condo.Two years ago I found these pictures of Hillerman taken inside his condo.It was just three photos of Hillerman and I tried to match them against the listing photos.

Ha! I love Hillerman's expression in these photos.

Is that a little toy koala grasping the lamp on Hillerman's desk?

Is that a fire extinguisher? What kind of cocktails was he making?!?!

LOL! In case something goes wrong with the Flaming Volcano, perhaps?

Do you know when those pictures of Hillerman were taken, and if they might have been taken around some kind of interview with a magazine or something?

My guess is Hillerman was in an ad for Donaldson clothing.

Hi No need to know

I remember seeing an interview with Hillerman back in the 80's on one of those "Entertainment Tonight" type shows from his condo.All I remember is Hillerman sitting at a table on the lanai.

The 3 previous photos and the 2 new ones were done by a Michael Ochs who was a big deal Rock photographer. From Wikipedia.

The Los Angeles Times called Ochs "America's preeminent rock 'n' roll photo archivist"[2] and described his archive as "the dominant force in the rock image marketplace";[3] The New York Times called it "the premier source of musician photography in the world".[1] Ochs sold the archive to Getty Images in 2007....

Hey CR....I noticed in the Getty images pages the info on the photo may say..."Gillis Collection" and the credited photographer..Luther Gillis.

The best I can come up with is Ochs named his photos...Donaldson Collection..here is a link.
