• [on his on- and off-screen chemistry with James Best, who played Sheriff P. Coltrane]: I was kind of right. there were three movie stars in there.

This was huge! We said a quick hello and then posed for another photo that’s been under my pen for over three decades.
• [Of James Best]: He was amazing in everything he did; he was not just a funny guy.
