Quote:Latterly noted for his extreme Republican views, he should be remembered as a champion of freedom of speech, an opponent of racism, and a fine actor.
I did not agree with his stance on guns, but he spoke out against discrimination in the 60s when it could still cost you dearly. That counts in my book a lot more. I liked his larger than life roles like in El Cid. As with Paul Newman, he was so long around that it is still hard to find he is not there anymore.
