Another old school Hollywood gone. I loved watching him in "The Time Machine" as a kid. My TBM mother loved him in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". Both of these movies are on DVD and Blu Ray.

Another good Aussie gone. But I am sure he became an American as he worked there for so long. Sorry to hear of his passing. He was one of the old-school charmers, wasn,t he???

"The Time Machine" is one of my favorite movies. I had watched it again, just hours before hearing the news that Taylor had died.

He was so good in so many movies. When paired with Doris Day he was also a great comedian. I miss these older actors; the new ones just can't take their place.

I enjoyed him as Travis McGee in Darker than Amber. I thought his character should have been developed into a franchise. Good part, wonderful actor.
