I saw his act about 5 years ago. He was a great comedian.

I worked with him and George Burns on a movie in the '80's called "18 Again". Both really nice guys, but Red Buttons was a riot, always joking and doing "schtick". I always liked him as "Pockets" in the movie "Hatari!". Another good one gone...

Yeah, too bad. We don't really have entertainers that are people of the same caliber we once had.
