91 is a pretty good run for someone that smoked their entire life!

Fingers crossed!

Jonesy? Meow! Here, kitty, kitty.

He was also great in Escape from New York and Christine. When it was his birthday, I couldn't believe he was 91! I thought it was a typo!

"Enough of that kitty crap, hey Jonesy!" Don't people watch movies in the future? If they did, then Brett would have known that when one character is separated from the group, he's almost sure to bite the big one.

Remember the scene when Brett stops, looks up and lets the dripping water wash over his face?
I have the DVD and when the director Ridley Scott describes the action, he says that when Harry Dean Stanton saw that scene he thanked him for the close-up. He did have a great moment there. One of my favorite scenes in the movie.

A great character actor. He will be missed.
