[keithporter23]

Yes!!! This is one of the Hollywood legends i've been asking for!  Great announcement.

[indio]

this is terrific, thank you so much showmasters

[Count Fooku]

Great work, now is it a dual signed Dirty Dozen item with Ernest Borgnine or should I add him to my Boston Strangler DVD that Tony Curtis signed?!

Unless of course there's a picture of him frothing at the mouth during Leslie Nielsens diatrabe about his sex life in Naked Gun 2!

That would fit nicely as Neilson was in The Poseiden Adventure too with Borgnine and of course The Naked Gun with Kennedy.

He'd be a dream guest for me - lead of Forbidden Planet, IMHO the greatest sci-fi movie ever made. Would be there like a shot!

He is on the convention circuit, so it's do-able - whether or not he'd be willing to travel to the UK would be the problem I'd guess...

Me too.  I do know he attended Baftas a couple of years back, so it is possible he would travel.

[Lennybear]

Excellent Guest  

[Dave Boy]

Blimey !!
Great guest.

[SunSpeed]

Woo-ooh! Excellent announcement this. I thought George Kennedy could only attend events in the US. Sure I read that on here.

Where do you begin with George Kennedy? Carter McKay in Dallas (don't think his first season on Dallas will be available to buy on DVD in time for Autographica), Ed in the Naked Gun films, The Dirty Dozen, the Airport films, Death Ship and many more.

Top-notch guest in my opinion.

That was a classic scene. Another classic bit from the Naked Gun 2 and 1/2 was:

Ed: "Sex, Frank?"
Frank Drebbin: "Er, not right now Ed".
