It's true, when you read a book that really engages you, you have your own picture of the hero and heroine, and if a movie were to be made of it, the stars they pick would always disappoint. I do love Hugh Jackman, though!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916675516577571595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-1649272091176321572013-09-05T18:09:17.309-05:002013-09-05T18:09:17.309-05:00Thanks for commenting, Sherrie.

I loved Garner in the old TV series Maverick (and the movie with Jodie Foster in the 90s) as well as the many other roles he's played. And for sure, being married to the same woman since 1956 makes him a real-life hero!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916675516577571595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-52050092946650809002013-09-05T09:20:05.555-05:002013-09-05T09:20:05.555-05:00I agree with Sherrie in that I'm sort of out o...I agree with Sherrie in that I'm sort of out of touch about actors except for Hugh Jackman and Chris O'Donnel, the latter I saw on an episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" sponsored by Ancestry.com But I love Burke and he is built in my mind and doesn't look like an actor--he just looks like Burke.

It makes him come alive (and he's a darling!).<br /><br />I'm afraid I'll be terrible at suggesting an actor to play Burke. I haven't been to a movie in ages, and people talk about this actor and that actor and I have no idea who he is! So I'll have to go with some older actors I know of when they were in their heyday.<br /><br />I think Ross Martin from the Wild Wild West TV show would make a good Burke O'Shaughnessey. In that same vein, another choice would be James Garner in his Maverick role. BTW, I just Googled James Garner and found out he's been married to the same woman since 1956. Now that's some record! If that doesn't make him hero material, I don't know what does!Sherrie Holmesnoreply@blogger.com
