Always seemed a likeable guy, perhaps because of the roles he played.  Shoot, they tried to make him a bad guy, the J.R. of ABC, if you will, on that trashy-ass'd Dynasty show.  But people didn't buy him as such, and they soon morphed his character to that rarest of Hollywood roles:  the sentimental, loveable billionaire oil man with a heart of gold.

I still never figured out what "Corinthian leather" was, but he made it sound good!

Wasn't that Ricardo Montalban?

I looked it up ages ago, and according to several sources (wiki in this case): "Corinthian leather was a phrase invented for marketing use to describe the leather used in certain Chrysler luxury cars in the 1970s. In this case, "Corinthian" does not actually indicate any relationship with Corinth, nor any specific type of leather and was added simply as a linguistic cachet.

The first use of this term was to describe the leather in the 1974 Chrysler Imperial, but the best known use of this term is from the advertising campaign for the 1976 Chrysler Cordoba, featuring celebrity spokesman Ricardo Montalbán."

I stand corrected. But another case of the CRS that has hounded me since I started getting close to the big 5-0 this year.

The man was so smooth, he just imbued charm and class. I'm sure he's an exquisite corpse.

We used to hunt outside Corinth, Mississippi; they didn't know what that shit was, either.

It wasn't leather, and it wasn't Forsythe selling it.

Thanks old boy. I've already acknowledged my human frailty and brain fart, but thanks for playing!
