James Caan is DEAD to ME!

He had a good, long career.

A primo stud in his day.

I mean, I'd fall off a building for that dick!

So fucking hot in The Godfather

So fucking hot until around For The Boys time. Then not so much.

He survived being leading man to both Streisand and Midler.

But something tells me he was no walk in the park either.

I never understood his stardom. He always seemed like a full-of-himself Hollywood boy to me.

yeah, daddy

Awwww. What a shame.

I must admit though I thought he died in a car accident in the ‘50s. Either way, he was fantastic in Rebel Without a Cause.

He terrorized that old hag in an elevator too, don't forget!

So young.

Will Scotty come out now?

I mean, his Dad can't browbeat or lay hands on him ever again, so...

My sympathy to his sister, Chaka.

Lol, r13!

I'm Going To Put On My Liberace Records!

He was preceded in death by sister Madeline and father Genghis.

At least he and Madeleine are together again.

I would’ve ate his ass.

This will be so hard for Mindy. She's the only one left now.

Caaaaaaaaan!

Mmmmmm

He was a Dirty Birdie!

Sad.

"Brian's Song," starring James Caan and Billy Dee Williams in breakout roles for both, remains a classic.

So many great roles. What a career you enjoyed! Rest in peace, Mr. Caan.

It's nice he got so much love before the end though -- an entire annual film festival devoted to just your work! How cool would that be?

So young.

A moment of silence for Mr. Caan.

And for that poor young man who James flung off the balcony after fucking him in the ass.

R9 I think that was Montague Clit.

[quote] I would’ve ate his ass.

Oh, dear.

Is this real?

What’s that about, R26?

So hot in El Dorado.

He is very hot (and scary) in THE GODFATHER, which probably remains his best performance onscreen.

But IMHO, he's sexier and more appealing (and less crazy) in FUNNY LADY. LADY is not a good film (as even Babs admits) but he and Babs are very winning and very sexy together.

r30, I had to Gogle that reference.

/I Googled it also after I Gogled it.

One of the hottest Jewish guys ever. A good actor too - my favorite movie with him is Thief. He kind of got lost in the shuffle with Pacino and De Niro.

R29 I hope so!

[quote]"Brian's Song," starring James Caan and Billy Dee Williams in breakout roles for both, remains a classic.

I forgot he was in that movie, though clearly his most memorable role was in The Godfather

Wow - I never heard the story about the guy falling out the window. Seems questionable at best

Hope Scott is as hung as his dad

He had really bad hair.

Fuck you, dad!

Among my many favorites of his, I loved him in "Cinderella Liberty" with Marsha Mason -- Caan as a sailor and Mason the prostitute he meets while on leave.

"I love Brian Piccolo."

Silent Movie (1976)

RIP

[quote]So many great roles. What a career you enjoyed! Rest in peace, Mr. Caan.

He can't hear you!

Re. rest in peace... is there really an alternative?

His son has a hot ass, but he couldn’t live forever.

"My wife is crying upstairs. I hear cars coming to the house. Consigliere of mine, I think you should tell your Don what everyone seems to know."

[quote] Fuck you, dad!

I'm sure with Scott it's more like...."fuck me, dad!"

sex on a stick

RIP Santino, I also loved "Cinderella Liberty" and Caan did a lot of good roles. One was a gambler/coach fixing a game to pay off his bookies. I remember him doing a great job in that.

On a more "DL" note, he often used to hang out at the Playboy mansion. Apparently he had a thing for eating pussy.

He was close friends with Don (Maxwell Smart) Adams and spoke at his memorial.

He was no Gene Hackman.

My mild dyslexia had me see

[quote]James Caan is DEB to ME!

and I thought several old mysteries finally made some sense.

So young.

He owned that wifebeater even if he was only beating his own sumptuous meat

I think of him each time someone brings up the book "You'll Never Make Love in this Town Again" where the hookers claim all he ever wanted to do was eat their clams for HOURS on end.

Thank you for bringing up the book then, R57, on your own behalf!

I'd forgotten that. Probably because I laugh until I choke when I see it. Your all-caps - sublime.

r26 Pardon?!😲

[quote]R6 I never understood his stardom. He always seemed like a full-of-himself Hollywood boy to me.

Producer Julia Phillips was casting “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and Spielberg said to her, “What do you think of James Caan?”

“Bad nose job.”

She was a good girl. Her hot ass couldn't live 4evah.

I was expecting more like 260 replies about Scott rumors by now.

Young man falls from James Caan's balcony. He was asleep. Knew nothing about it.

We’re gonna start seeing this whole generation of actors (the only one that matters imo) drop like flies in the next couple years. They’re all around the same age. Sad.

With DL icon Tuesday Weld.

Notice how her acting is both more grounded and free than his. She’s just trying to be there while he’s trying to “deliver”.

According to the AP article posted above, the cops interrogated Caan for about 9 hours and came to his apartment pointing guns. Sounds like Caan did not get any star treatment from the cops. But, he did not get arrested and charged, so, there's that.

Really bad Jewish hair done in a 70's comb over until late in life.

And pretty short, I'd say 5'7" at best.

There is/was a DLer who said their husband’s dad was friends with James and that James went to him for advice about having a gay son. I always loved that story and would like for that poster to tell that story again for those that haven’t heard it.

[quote] He was asleep. Knew nothing about it.

"asleep"

[quote]Will Scotty come out now?

Hopefully!

He does seem like he's aware of the camera at R65. With his leg up on the bench seat like that.

Reminds me of the scene in Godfather 2 (yes, I know Caan's not in G 2) where Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) is sitting at home in Florida. Michael (Pacino) comes to visit and talk. Strasberg hangs his leg over the armrest. It just seemed like he was "acting" to me.

Fag!

His wrath was so tiresome.

He improvised this scene with Barbra in Funny Lady. She was supposed to pour talcum powder over his head, but he decided to pour it on her too, which wasn't in the script. She took it in stride, since she was fucking him during filming.

I’m sure Bob Mackie loved THAT. The dress cost a fortune.

Wow, I'm sure Wardrobe wasn't so happy about all that powder on Babs' feather dress.

He was very good way back in 1969's THE RAIN PEOPLE, directed by Francis Coppola, playing a brain damaged football player.

Does Scott Caan need comforting?

Was his real name Cohen?

That's all, Babs??

,,,,

[quote]R71 He does seem like he's aware of the camera at [R65]. With his leg up on the bench seat like that.

Acting wise, I think Tuesday Weld is really good at “listening” in that scene. Whether it’s just a technique or she really feels it, a lot of emotion and attentiveness comes through when they cut to her in his speeches. And she cries in response to what he’s saying rather than on her own lines, which is where most actors would dig in.

She also does a very natural thing when she wipes her tear away. Most performers are so proud of themselves for producing tears that they let them roll down their face for the camera to study. But in real life people wipe their eyes and face when crying. It’s instinctual.

She’s a very interesting actress. You can see why she was offered a lot of big parts… which she, curiously, almost invariably turned down.

Tuesday Weld, so talented and gorgeous and unique: what a waste of a career.

[quote]Reminds me of the scene in Godfather 2 ... where Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) is sitting at home in Florida. Michael (Pacino) comes to visit and talk. Strasberg hangs his leg over the armrest. It just seemed like he was "acting" to me.

I'm sure the legendary Mr. Strassberg ( the father of method acting; co-founder of The Group Theatre and of Actors Studio West; and acclaimed acting coach) would have benefitted from your notes and direction. Poor man, how he would have excelled under your tutelage!

Howard Hawks must have had a thing for him, since he was in two of the director's last 3 films.

I liked him in Kiss Me Goodbye.

There's lots left:

Jack Nicholson

Gene Hackman

Robert Duvall

Al Pacino

Robert de Niro

Robert Redford

Dustin Hoffman

Elliott Gould

Richard Benjamin

Richard Dreyfuss

Jon Voight

To Caan's credit, he and Bette Midler despised one another during FOR THE BOYS.

[quote]R85 I'm sure the legendary Mr. Strassberg (the father of method acting; co-founder of The Group Theatre and of Actors Studio West; and acclaimed acting coach) would have benefitted from your notes and direction. Poor man, how he would have excelled under your tutelage!

Just because someone is a great acting teacher, it doesn’t mean they’re a great actor, themselves.

R71 doesn’t even say Strasberg was bad… just that there’s a somewhat forced aspect, physically, to one of his scenes in one of his movies.

Ah, yes. "Kiss Me Goodbye" was the remake of "Dona Flor's Two Husbands," the film that introduced Sonia Braga to the international audience. I never saw "Kiss..." as I was wary of Hollywood adaptations. Maybe I'll take a look now.

It wasn't personal, just business.

I thought he was at his best in "Brian's Song" and "The Godfather. He was perfect in both of those roles.

I liked him as an actor and in his heyday he was super hot. But in real life he seemed like a typical Hollywood jerk.

So now neither Omar Sharif nor James Caan is available if Babs decides to make a third Fanny Brice movie.

A friend lent Scott his apartment so Scott could have a hook up with his boyfriend. James got wind of it and went over to break it up. He ended up throwing the boyfriend out the window. Death by defenestration. James got away with it by lying through his teeth to the police. Read the articles carefully. It happened at a friend's apartment, not the Caan apartment.

[quote]That's all, Babs??

R81 - compared with Susan Dey, she sounds like a chatterbox @ R80.

^ There were lots of payoffs involved too. But everybody in the community knew what really happened.

[quote]R84 Tuesday Weld, so talented and gorgeous and unique: what a waste of a career.

It’s hard to know exactly what Weld’s story was, because she didn’t give a lot of interviews compared to other stars, and she says that when she did, she’d change facts around to amuse herself. And the one full length biography that was done on her (that I know of) is kind of slapdash.

But I think one thing with her was, she got burnt out on the film industry early on. She was kind of the Brooke Shields of her era, in that she was dumped into modeling at a very, very early age in order to support her family. So by the time she got (immediate) fame on TV and then in movies, it’s almost like she was already over it.

She did roles that interested her, but it doesn’t seem like competing for parts was ever her thing. Plus, she apparently didn’t go in for an extravagant lifestyle - so it’s not like she had to earn big bucks to stay out of debt, like some stars.

Her career may seem wasted to us, but she didn’t want a bigger one.

Remember when he tried to steal Secretariat away from Nic Cage?

[quote]"Funny Crone"

"Deadly Serious Crone"

Hot and sexy when young, a versatile actor, a long distinguished career, RIP. The end of the Caan game...

Wasn't there another incident where James found out Scott was at a gay bar and went over to take him home and started a brawl in the bar? My memory is hazy on that one.

I think you're all slipping here... Caan was on that incredibly bad TV show "Vegas" (different from the Robert Urich TV show "Vega$') and NOT ONE OF YOU have asked if really terrible 'actress' Cheryl Ladd has commented and you haven't wondered if Josh Duhamel or Vanessa Marcil have twitted out their feelings/emotions!

Geez...

Oh yea, Caan did Vegas after some really poor plastic surgery - oof did he look pulled and tucked.

Despite his reputation, I've never heard him badmouth anyone he's worked with. Or Vice Versa.

Except for Bette Midler.

This is about James Caan not Tuesday Weld, I know , but the references made me do a little reading. From her Wiki site, it doesn;t sound like Tuesday was lonely and bored: "Between marriages, Weld dated Al Pacino, David Steinberg, Mikhail Baryshnikov (whose previous girlfriend, Jessica Lange, had been Weld's best friend), Omar Sharif,Richard Gere and Ryan O'Neal."

What more do you [italic]want,[/italic] R81?

More about Scott Caan's boyfriend

R105, And she must have had Warren Beatty when they were on "Dobie Gillis" together.

What a slut!

[quote] But I think one thing with her was, she got burnt out on the film industry early on. She was kind of the Brooke Shields of her era, in that she was dumped into modeling at a very, very early age in order to support her family.

Which makes me sad, because God knows she should never have been put in that position. Her father was lathrop Motley Weld, of the Weld family of Boston, one of the best-known and most prominent of the Boston Brahmin families. Former Governor William Weld of Massachusetts is from that family, and there's a Weld Hall in Harvard Yard. Tuesday's father died when she was four, and her mother (Lathrop Weld's fourth and last wife) used her only daughter to get money, since the family refused it to them. She had a miserable childhood, and her mother put enormous emotional pressure on her to try to force her to make up for her other disappointments in life; Tuesday responded by having affairs with much older men, which made her mother furious. When Tuesday turned 16 she marched out of her mother's house and bought her own. She says she's mnever been right because of her enormously fucked-up childhood.

Her memorable name was actually a nickname--her real name is Susan, but a very close cousin on her mother's side could not pronounce "Sue-Sue" correctly and called her "Tu-Tu"... eventually everyone else called her that, and then extended it to Tuesday. I can only think of the parody of her on "The Flintstones": "And now, here's that exciting young starlet, Wednesday Tuesday... or is it Tuesday Wednesday?" (Wednesday Addams's name was inspired by Tuesday's, of course.)

JFK, Jr. named his dog "Friday".

He left FOLLIES at intermission.

There's a great Dick Cavett interview with Tuesday somewhere out there if someone wants to find and link it.

Did Dick ever interview James Caan? I have no idea but I'd be interested in that, too.

Maybe Scott's boyfriend just fell out of the window accidentally, like that trans hooker who Eddie Murphy picked up

He was sexy as fuck in Neil Simon’s “Chapter Two” in 1979.

Was it caancer?

Thoughts and prayers to Fox News who has one less viewer with the death of this Trump supporter.

And the other shoe drops

His mother only died six years ago. She was a Jewish immigrant who fled Nazi Germany as a teenager and lived to 100.

R117 that’s a horrible stain to leave upon one’s career

I remember the Pauline Kael review titled The Actor and The Star where she reviewed recent movies of Caan and Burt Reynolds.

[quote]Was his real name Cohen?

Caan = Khan

LOCK ‘IS CORPSE UP!

where is the nude pic? it was in another thread. post it here or link it!

The name was originally Cohen, Germanized to Caan (though not by James Caan, just one of his ancestors in Germany). Another variant of Cohen is Kagan (like the SCOTUS Justice Elena, whose ancestors were Russian Jews): it's a Russian variant which uses G instead of H because the latter doesn't exist in Russian.

R122 Bette is stupid.

Look how they massacred my boy. 🥺

He also was supposed to be in Coppola next movie. I really wished it happened.

Wrong, R123. He was born James Caan, son of Arthur Caan.

Tuesday Weld got into witchcraft and it must have taken over her life. I think that's why her career died suddenly. She was the head of the top witches coven in LA for awhile. I guess she thought that witchcraft and spells would help her get roles, but it had the opposite effect and ended her career.

Did he do anal?🧐

I'm Tuesday Weld and I'm not a witch

Why are the sudden Tuesday Weld stans hijacking Jimmy Caan’s memorial thread.

Can’t her cheap fucking fans start their own thread? Have some decency!

I thought he was so miscast in ""Misery." James Caan imprisoned and tortured by a crazy woman? It just didn't seem very plausible. I thought somebody like Tom Hanks would have been better for the hapless Paul Sheldon.

R134, I thought there was a delightful irony to have this physical actor helpless and confined in a bed.

He did a great job playing against type.

I think James Caan and his swagger was so hot.He really was one hell of a sexy motherf****r

I do remember in 1999 ,I think it was either at the Cannes Film festival or a press event for Mickey blue eyes he was asked by a journalist about the huge salary Tom Cruise received for a Mission Impossible movie and he had a bit of a mini rant about the insanity of such an inflated salary for any actor!

I never thought about him being miscast in Misery, but now that R134 brought it up, I think he was. Kathy Bates was so powerful in her role, you hardly noticed the guy in the bed. Tom Hanks, though? I don't know. It was supposed to be a writer who got debilitated in a car crash. Kevin Costner?

Nicely done

Now, The Killer Elite was an unwatchable movie, but James and Robert were in their prime.

Here is an excerpt I French. But you get the idea.

Two CIA agents who were best friends and lived together ( machos sharing girls). One betrays the other.

The trailer

R137, I think they first wanted Al Pacino.

I still think Caan was great playing against type.

He was very good in a 70s film called "The Gambler." The title said it all; he played a compulsive gambler who seems to hate himself for his compulsion but continues to get deeper and deeper into financial ruin.

I don't think he was miscast in Misery, either, but he wasn't the first pick. Lots of the big male stars of the day were offered the role but they found it too emasculating.

He played Misery so reserved and Kathy Bates was chewing scenery. He deserved at least a GG nom. Maybe they should’ve cast Bette.

[Kevin Costner?}

As Paul Sheldon in "Misery." Nope. Too good looking and too bland and not good enough of an actor.

Predictions for the next two celebrity deaths-Sally Field and Glenn Close.

I will be heartbroken when Gene Hackman dies. He is my all time favorite actor.

[quote]R113 Why are the sudden Tuesday Weld stans hijacking Jimmy Caan’s memorial thread. Have some decency!

Tuesday Weld is the most interesting thing that ever happened to your precious, flaccid Jimmy.

You should be kissing her ASS!

I know it was mentioned upthread, but he was really sexy in Howard Hawks' 1966 movie El Dorado.

He was a big homophobe and the f-word was a regular part of his vocabulary. I can't believe the adulation he's receiving here. He killed his son's boyfriend for Christ's sake.

He was in an uncredited role in "Irma La Douce." He was Soldier With Radio; he's more interested in the ball game on the radio than the hooker who is leading him to the hotel for their "date."

I remember some awards show where Caan went up to accept the award for somebody who wasn't there. The presenters of the award were Sonny and Cher. The hostility between them you could cut with a knife. When Caan came onstage to get the award and Cher kissed him. REALLY kissed him. Passionately. Not once but twice. With Sonny standing right there. The audience actually reacted in astonishment (Wooo!) when she locked lips with him the second time. Caan seemed to Cher's sucking his face in stride but was nervous accepting the award; he seemed flustered and inarticulate. The whole thing was very, very awkward.

Caan's best job of acting was the little-know "Cinderella Liberty".

^^^ knowN

Sad to hear James Caan passed but sadder to learn he was a HUGE Trump supporter. He described himself as "ultra conservative" .... though I'll never understand how someone who was divorced 4 times could still consider himself conservative.

R146 G. is already dead. She is just walking around to save on funeral expenses.

R67 You calling my Dad short? What are you fucking talking about. He was almost as tall as me.

James Caan Bonus!

R159 that’s hilarious. He did NOT get a nose job though; that’s just Julia Phillips’s coke brain talking.

He has been erased.

good memories of him from Lady in a Cage, The Rain People, Brian's Song, The Godfather, Cinderella Liberty, Misery and For the Boys

I liked Caan and Barbra in Funny Lady...and Caan and Marsha Mason in Cinderella Liberty.

Great movies.

Tuesday Weld and Jessica Lange are best friends.

Has Susan Dey offered her condolences yet?

(crickets)

Tuesday & Mikhail

What was the cause of expiratia?

[quote]R130 Tuesday Weld got into witchcraft and it must have taken over her life. I think that's why her career died suddenly.

Yes, she was guilty of witchcraft … the witchcraft of [italic]sex appeal![/italic]

Our Tutu didn’t need no fuckin’ Beelzebub. (Seriously, what would she pray to satan for, anyway? Even MORE top projects to turn down cold?)

He was good in Gardens of Stone (1987) with Anjelica Huston.

He was very funny and very cute in "Slither" (1972); Sally Kellerman was good in it too -- she died a few months ago.

I heard he was effective in “Honeymoon in Vegas”. But I don’t go see movies about horses.

Has Lauren Bacall commented yet?

He was a fixture at the Playboy mansion for decades.

He was one of the prime creeps-- just slightly less terrible than Cosby.

So to quote Bette Davis.

He's dead.

Good.

Damn he was hot in the 70s.

So James was strictly a 100% str8 tunatasting stinkholestuffing fishfucking heterosexual man?

Who was better in their prime, James Caan or Robert Conrad?

"Introduce me to that big blonde.

She's got a touch of Tuesday Weld."

RIP James Caan...wonderful actor and very sexy.

Does Scott need condoling?

I’m always interested to know cause of death. Caan lived a rough life, violence, substance abuse and far right politics- so my curiosity is even more piqued.

R142, that’s the movie Kael was reviewing when she compared Caan to Reynolds. She didn’t denigrate Reynolds in the review. She liked his smirky charm but thought Caan had more technique and skill.

If you needed an example of the word, macho...it would show James Caan's photo.

So was he a loving dad to his gay son or a homicidal homophobe? I need some clarity here so I know whether to mourn or celebrate.

[quote]Tuesday Weld and Jessica Lange are best friends.

Not surprising that Jessica starred as the Supreme witch in AHS Coven. I have a feeling that she also was a practitioner of witchcraft since she and Tuesday were such close friends.

Homo-erotic Rollerball.

I just watched a documentary about 70s fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez and his scene of designers, models, etc. (It's pretty good.)

Jessica Lange is interviewed alongside others about her days as a young model in NYC and Paris in the early 70s. I was struck by her loyalty to her friends and colleagues from that era, many of whom were lost to AIDS. She was charming and sweet and eloquent and not remotely diva-ish. Very winning.

Funny how the fags on here have NO PROBLEM with Caan being a huge Trump supporter. Hypocrites.

R185 perhaps he was a loving father to his young son until he discovered that he was gay yay

R189 Most rational adult thinking people can separate the body from the politics

So, R191, we can all agree on a hate-fuck?

Still no word from Bette Midler. Yeah, they had a tough time filming For the Boys but you'd think she'd at least cough up something nice in a tweet. What a cunt. Not the first time she's ignored a co-star's or director's death.

Who?

Could someone please deliver a forceful message to the nauseating troll at R59 that, thanks to an old hex, every emoji at the DL deprives the poster of a year of continent life?

At her age she's going to be springing for a lot of Depends.

***Upthread, Lady in a Cage starred Olivia De Haviland, not her actress sister Joan Fontaine, as someone posted earlier. James Caan was excellent as one of the delinquents who terrorized her in the 1964 movie thriller...

[quote]eah, they had a tough time filming For the Boys

Is there any movie Bette starred in where she didn't have major issues with her co-star?

R197 Barbara Hershey may be the lone exception though I don't know how she got along with Goldie and Diane in The First Wives Club

“Miss Weld is not a very good representative for the motion picture industry.”

Caan and the actor who played Carlo (Connie's cheating / beating husband) didn't get along. Actor was Gianni Russo. Caan started out not liking Russo for some petty reason, then added some unscripted, extra beating into the scene, including the part where Caan is biting Russo's hands.

[quote] “Sonny and I had a problem all through the movie, on and off the set.” It kicked off because of Russo’s knowledge of the area and the residents they were filming in. According to the star, it “p****d [Caan] off” just before their big on-screen confrontation.

[quote] “We choreographed that scene for about a day and a half, Jimmy got a little aggressive, I would say, and he improvised a few things like that little billy club he threw at me when I came off the stoop. He hit me right in the head with that, and then he throws me over the railing and he’s biting my hands, when I crawl out, he literally lifted me up with his kick, none of that was supposed to happen.”

Completely miscast in The Godfather. I know this is an unpopular opinion. He’s playing a silly caricature of a working class New York Italian. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Caan was a so so actor and a so so star. I think of him as the kind of B level leading man one might hire when all your first choices said no.

R201, I thought he was miscast as Sonny, also. Just his looks. He looked like the red-headed step-child.

[quote]though I don't know how she got along with Goldie and Diane in The First Wives Club

Short answer: Midler did NOT get along with her co-leads. Or anyone else on the TFWC set. A number of people (like featured actor Bronson Pinchot) have spoken out about how abrasive, unpleasant, and unprofessional Midler was on set, fighting with the director, bullying other actors, fighting for the laugh lines.

Her part was thankless (compared to Goldie and Diane), and she was "styled" to look hideous in the film. But it doesn't still doesn't excuse her behavior.

It sounds like any number of people would avoid working with Midler again, on anything.

Gianni Russo and Miss Warwick were "romantically linked" for many years. He claims they lived together. They were both born on Dec. 12: she in 1940, he in 1943.

[quote]Funny how the fags on here have NO PROBLEM with Caan being a huge Trump supporter. Hypocrites.

Who said we don't have a problem with it. We're talking about here is his his body of work and his body.

Though I have no doubt Caan could be aggressively macho and obnoxious on and off movie sets, I've been impressed by a few different loving tributes to him I've just read on Facebook by 3 different women colleagues of mine who were his dressers on different films sets.

Believe me, costume crew on film sets see the worst behavior imaginable. In a long career like Caan's, you'd inevitably see all sorts of behavior depending on the situation. It's the rare star who's nice to everyone all the time.

he worked until the very end, even when he was in a wheelchair! He needed money that badly?

Bitter and expensive divorce in recent years, r208, from a much younger wife. Number 4, I believe.

James was in the short-lived (13 episodes) ABC comedy series Back in the Game in 2013-2014.

R13 I am so happy to see you, Larry! I miss you.

Brosnan still looks good at 69.

Damn, those socks Brosnan is wearing at R213 look painfully tight.

Those were my last words at R55, you cunts.

Show some respect.

Oof, looks like Jimmy Caan had bad hair until the day he died.

Jimmy . . .

Would someone please post a pic of Scott Caan's ass in Varsity Blues? TIA!

R219, Trying to post the nude full frontal of James Caan wearing the open robe from LPSG, with no success.

Hi R220

Not R220 but thanks R222😋😋😋 he's nice and smooth which is how I like it I would imagine his father was very hairy there

I’m surprised the DL’er whose husband’s dad was friends with James hasn’t told us about when James asked about how to deal with having a gay son. I always love that story.

His best co-star was Chris Morley in Freebie & the Bean

Caan called Midler "stupid."

Seems like he was attracted to SJP, said she had a hard body and complained about no bed scenes with SJP in Honeymoon in Vegas.

[quote]R226 Seems like he was attracted to SJP

Let’s just leave bestiality OUT of it, if you don’t mind!

Why was For The Boys a difficult movie to film?

Don't know, R228. But it was certainly a difficult movie to watch.

Smooth, R223?? Look closely -that's a fuzzy arse!

it was difficult because Bette doesn’t like to share the limelight.

For the Boys was Bette's project. James Caan was lucky to have been in it. TEAM BETTE!

For the Boys was a commercial ripoff of PBS's Verna: USO Girl and not nearly as good. Nor financially successful.

Betty White's corpse after 3 months would look better than James fucking Kaan when she died. Jesus girl looked horrible.

R230 fuzzy is soft and downy, I imagine his old man's ass was like a Brillo pad .

For The Boys is nothing like Verna: USO Girl, except that some of the scenes are about performers in the USO. It's more closely based on Martha Raye's career. Didn't Raye famously sue the film's producers?

For The Boys is nothing like Verna: USO Girl, except that some of the scenes are about performers in the USO. It's more closely based on Martha Raye's career. Didn't Raye famously sue the film's producers?

Can we get back to Tuesday Weld?

Raye didn't sue PBS because they were a non profit with no money. But when a big studio with Midler ripped her off again, she sued. It was thrown out of court before reaching trial.

The article at r239 does not mention Verna: USO Girl and there's no reason it should. That PBS film had nothing to do with For The Boys. Martha Raye or Bette Midler. Or even James Caan, our thread topic.

Are there any pictures of Mark Alan Schwartz? Or a bio??

James Caan lived a full life: Sex with hookers, drugs and the Playboy Mansion

^ I know they're not to everyone's taste but, OMG, his hairy shoulders are divine!

“I have four wives and five kids,” he also told Esquire, jokingly responding to a question about the difference between sex and love. “I apparently don’t know the difference.”

And as far as sex, he bluntly admitted: “For the record, I’ve never been in an orgy.”

With an eye for the ladies, Caan also said: “I don’t think silicone makes a girl good or bad,” but he certainly had some bad experiences with the opposite sex.

“I’ll see a beautiful girl walking up to me and I’ll think, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe my good luck.’ But then she’ll say, ‘Where’s your son?’ or ‘My mother loves you.'”

Scott even spent time at the Playboy Mansion with his father while he lived there, with the elder Caan telling People in a 2010 interview that he’d “have Scott bring me girls.”

The actor took another long break before tying the knot again, marrying Ingrid Hajek in September 1990, according to the Daily Mail.

The marriage lasted for four years before they separated in March 1995, and they had a son, Alexander James Caan, while they were together. However, Caan’s marriage to Hajek was possibly his most controversial, as he was accused of having an affair with madame Heidi Fleiss, who claimed she had a relationship with the actor in a 1994 Vanity Fair article.

R244 He sounded like a pathetic piece of shit who was never satisfied.

Tuesday would not have had the right energy for Norma Rae. If true, she was wise to pass. Talk about miscast!

I don't think she could have summoned the appropriate naivete for Rosemary Woodhouse and she was way too old and sexy for the girl in True Grit.

I wonder if she was bonkers enough to pull off ”Mommie Dearest”?

[quote]R249 I don't think she could have summoned the appropriate naivete for Rosemary Woodhouse

Polanski had a unique approach to casting, in that he went almost entirely off an actor’s physical appearance (at least as a jumping off point.) He would have illustrations done of his vision of the characters and give those to his casting director. (Though they ended up hating each other, he wanted Faye Dunaway for Chinatown because she really could look like a glamorous society lady from the 1930s.)

The initial concept for Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse was that they look like uber-healthy, sunshiny Americans… blonde, wholesome, midwestern. This would contrast with the dark world at the Bramford that envelops them. For this reason, Robert Redford was Polanski’s first choice for Guy, and Weld his first choice for Rosemary.

Mia Farrow is superb as Rosemary, but I can see where Polanski was going with envisioning Weld in the role.

and not just to you OP!

[quote]He kind of got lost in the shuffle with Pacino and De Niro

Not exactly, R35. Caan's career got lost up his nose in the from of cocaine.

I can't get over the quotes in R244's post - Caan, age 50+ - calls women "girls."

If he was at the Playboy mansion, they might have been close to being "girls."

REPORTER: What was it that finally drove you into seclusion?

WELD: I think it was a Buick.

r255 Being girls?!

He wasn't at the Playboy Mansion 24/7. Not all women he pursued were hookers.

R258 Name 3

From the pics and the basal O2 looks like he gad emphysema- possibly lung cancer.

R259, name that tune in two notes

R236 Thank you. For The Boys was based on Martha Raye's devotion to armed service members. She traveled anywhere, anytime to entertain them. She was buried with full military honors at Fort Bragg, NC. Great, great lady. A true biography needs to be done.

R262 = Mark Harris

He was a gifted roller boogie performer. I remember him showing off his impressive moves on a Playboy mansion party special on ABC-TV in the late 1970s. He totally should have had Bruce Jenner’s roll in’Can’t Stop the Music’.

Oh my goodness, r264 !

Did he try out for THIS ? ! ? !

[quote]He was no Gene Hackman.

Thank god.

I'm dead and love my gay son'!

R266, They both had the same bad hair.

[quote]Damn, those socks Brosnan is wearing at [R213] look painfully tight.

Probably compression socks.

271 comments an not one of you fawning queens complained he was a Trump supporter?

R272 You should charge Trump rent for all the time that he's lived in your head rent free. You must have worn out the letters MAGTRUP on your keyboard

It was mentioned, R272. Including by R117:

"Thoughts and prayers to Fox News who has one less viewer with the death of this Trump supporter."

He was a Trump lover. Bye bye, loser.

Yeah, who cares about this POS Trumper?

He was a very good actor. But he was a Trump-loving asshole off screen.

“only watched FUCKS News”

Link?

Caan made his right wing feelings known for many years, R279
