Timothy Bottoms


Timothy Bottoms is dreamy in this movie----

I know... He was cuter in Last Picture Show, but it's a shame he didn't achieve superstardom. I guess with no high profile girlfriends or wives he didn't grab the attention of Hollywood.

I love his name too. I always thought it would have been funny if he had a boyfriend with the last name Topps. "Hi, I'm William Topps and this is my boyfriend Timothy Bottoms..." haha

I thought he made the movie (not Houseman).

She is a lot like you, the dangerous type...

I wouldn't necessarily use the reason, "he had no high profile girlfriends or wives'. His brother Jeff is extremely successful (Won the Oscar and several nominations as well) and has been married to a "civilian" since the late seventies. A lot of it is just luck, timing and the roles you're offered and subsequently choose. Tim had a a few well received films/performances in the seventies and wasn't able to capitalize on the success and ride on it into the Eighties etc. It's a shame, he's talented, handsome and has a nice quality about him.

What does his brother Jeff do?

Something major happened to his career after this. Not clear what. Male actors don't usually just disappear like this.

That post would make more sense if Timothy Bottoms were Beau Bridges.
