We've lost another great actor, but what an amazing long life...

He was born Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford on May 1, 1916, in Quebec, the son of a railroad executive. The first name reflected his family's Welsh roots. When Ford joined Columbia, Cohn asked him to change his name to John Gower; Ford refused but switched his first name to Glenn, after his father's birthplace of Glenford. He moved to southern California at 8 and promptly fell in love with show business, even sneaking onto a Culver City studio lot at night.

Got this info from the link above...

I used to love to watch the movie The Courtship of Eddie's Father. He was amazing in his dramatic roles and wonderful in his comedic.

Oh dear, am I reading this article right?

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20351375-1702,00.html

It looks like bad weather postponed his filming on the documentary they were working on, so he decided to film some stuff for his daughter's upcoming TV series? My heart goes out double time for the daughter now. I'd hate to think she'd grow up blaming herself for this tragic accident.

I'm stunned! He was always such a joy to watch in all his sillyness and enthusiasm. The last I saw of him was when he, Terri and the kids made a tour of the US. Bindi Sue was becoming a chip off the old block. For me, this is beyond sad, it's a tragedy. The world has lost a very special man!

It's always sad when something like this happens. He was so full of life and enthusiasm and in turn he provided great enjoyment to others.

This is one enthusiastic personality I am going to miss. You couldn't take your eyes off the screen when he was on it. None of the other wannabes will ever fill his shoes. He was remarkable.

While it is sad that we lost him, he went doing something he absolutely loved, and that is a bit of a silver lining, no?

Pamy, a stingray is a big, flat, rather triangular shaped sea animal with a long skinny tail. You can see them at aquariums and zoos, and can often pet them.

In the wild, at the end of their long tails, they have a barb, about the length of an index finger. The barbs are pointy, sharp and contain poison. They use the barbs in self defense.

Apparently Steve was swimming along, and swam over a large stingray that had buried itself in the sand to rest. When Steve swam over, it surprised the sting ray and it struck at him, landing the barb directly in Steve's heart. It killed him rather rapidly.

Most people survive the sting of the barb, but this was like being stabbed by a knife in the heart.

By the way, the ones you pet at the aquariums have had their barbs removed, so they are completely safe.
