This is something I think just about every time I see one of your posts. I doubt I'm alone in this either. But this wasn't the place for this. And neither was it the place for her comment or yours about Kevin McCarthy. Anyone with common sense would know that. So Marta says he wasn't a saint and you agree? Wow, what experts you are on the subject. No one here said he was a saint. We expressed our feelings of affection and loss for a man who had more class than you and a hundred Marta's rolled together. And hearing hearsay from some crank who has a 45 year axe to grind is insulting to all involved (except you, who needs to hear the dirt, it seems). No, I don't own this blog, but I'm sure Ed is too polite to give either of you the back of his hand. <br /><br />And I'll get over it the same day you get over your extremely inflated sense of self-importance, Peter. Which, I suspect, will be never.<br /><br />Ed, I apologize if I've stepped over the line here. But I'm furious at these two nitwits. Feel free to delete my comments if I've offended you.<br /><br />TLTerrill Lankfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-32972599351674423132010-09-14T21:01:41.475-07:002010-09-14T21:01:41.475-07:00Unless you own this blog, Mr. Lankford, you are in...Unless you own this blog, Mr. Lankford, you are in no position to tell anyone else they should depart.<br /><br />As a great fan of Kevin McCarthy, I asked Marta out of curiosity why he left an unfavorable impression upon her, and she responded on her blog. She was hardly desecrating his grave. <br /><br />I love McCarthy's acting, never met him, but am not the least surprised or dismayed that he wasn't a saint. So get over it, sir.Peter L.

You are right to be proud of the book, as I am to have been a part of it in both incarnations. My wife also had the memorable experience of chatting with Kevin when I wasn't around. His big heart was every bit the equal of his talent. Thanks for a nice tribute.Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-22643982140658799292010-09-13T20:36:16.570-07:002010-09-13T20:36:16.570-07:00So sorry to hear Kevin lost it a little at the end...So sorry to hear Kevin lost it a little at the end, but he sure had a great run. I don't know of anyone who stayed as sharp for as long. He used to come into my bookstore fairly regularly just to say hello and man, was that some kind of a thrill. I really loved that guy. What an amazing character. Any of us who were lucky enough to know him just a little were better people for it.<br /><br />TLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-30606710452987657172010-09-13T16:15:27.136-07:002010-09-13T16:15:27.136-07:00What a beautiful and tender farewell, Ed.
