Goodbye to the actor Rod Taylor, who was in the acting business almost 60 years...

Terrific actor! The Birds, The Time Machine, Fate Is The Hunter. Vaya Con Dios!

Awwww, this makes me sad.RIP, Mr. Taylor.

He was a bit too much of a scenery chewer for my taste, but as a kid fascinated with the idea of time travel (I still am), I thought—and still think—he was pretty good in it. And lucky for him, everybody chewed scenery in that one.

I liked him in THE BIRDS (in which his over-acting contrasted perfectly with Tippi’s woodenness, and in the soapy HOTEL

His role in the time machine made me a huge fan of his…the Birds was very disturbing for a 7 year old to watch and seared his image and persona in my mind forever. R.I.P. Rod….you had a good ride my man!

Maybe he’ll return in The Time Machine with those mysterious 3 books he took to the future. Until then, Bon Voyage!

Aw, he was a good one. I had a crush on him in my teenage years during the 60s. The Glass-Bottom Boat. Sigh.
