I don't care who the father is, I'm the grandfather!: this is probably the best line in a film full of wonderful dialog. Thanks for putting a spotlight on him and thank you so much for the links of some of his films!!!<br />Kisses!<br />LeLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-48759709632118991092015-11-24T21:08:03.897-05:002015-11-24T21:08:03.897-05:00He's one of my favorites too (obviously).

I could watch Coburn all day long. He had superb comedic timing and could deliver a line deadpan that could crack you up. His Oscar for THE MORE THE MERRIER was very well deserved.

Mostly because it's always a delight to see Coburn on screen. He always seemed to know exactly 'who' his character was and then immerse himself in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-28967342202850659182015-11-22T16:03:21.283-05:002015-11-22T16:03:21.283-05:00Mr. Coburn was an inspired actor.

The only other one I've seen (besides the ones I described more in depth) is "Made for Each Other," which I watched for Carole Lombard. I don't really remember Coburn in it which is why I didn't write about it.<br /><br />I was surprised too about when he started acting. So many actors appeared in tons of silent pictures before becoming famous in "talkies" so I presumed he would be he same. I really want to get a book about character actors, as it's hard to find out about them online. There's one called "Also Starring..." that came out this year that looks really good and includes Coburn.
