Dear Mopos -
Just a word or two about Patrick MacNee. Quite simply, he was a great guy. I
grew up thinking (knowing) he was the coolest cat that ever drove a sports car
and he was in my mind the only actor who could match Sean Connery spy-fighting,
drinking martinis with sexy and dangerous women, and foiling international
plots. His son, Rupert, is one of my best buddies and I’ve met Patrick a
number of times over the past 30 years and he was so kind and friendly.
Patrick was a trooper up to the end. And when he was too old to go to an
autograph show, Rupert would go for him and tape his fans sending him their
best. Rupert was always bringing me one funny Patrick thing or another, a
bubble gum card or an old VHS tape that Patrick signed and sent to me for my
collection. So generous of spirit. He loved his fans as much as they loved him.
Have had a lot of laughs with those guys. Patrick will be missed by his
legions of fans and friends.
Alan
