Thank you for adding my article. I figure everyone should read all they can about the life of such a great Hollywood icon. He will be sorely missed in film.

Dan ... The Godfather?! Wow, I'm stunned! Haha, I completely agree, though, they need to recognize him somehow in a big way, because he really did a LOT for Hollywood (especially the epic film), despite the controversy of some of his affiliations that came later.

Hollywood really needs to recognize the man. "This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town!" I liked him in Dark City and Touch of Evil too.
