My favourite story about him was at The Talk of The Town.

Waiter: How do you take your coffee sir
JL:Like my women strong and sweet.
Waiter: Is that Black or White Sir.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

I just love the way he swerved his car to flatten Spencer Tracey's hat in It's a Mad Mad World.

Glad he'll now be safe from fag gots.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Loved him as a youngster. Funnily enough watched a couple of his movies recently for some reason. R.I.P.

Great balls of fire is one of my favourite songs.
RIP

Wasn't remotely a fan of his "zany" slapstick stuff he did in the 50s and 60s but I thought he was excellent in Martin Scorsese's "The King of Comedy" with Robert De Niro. Made me see him in a whole new light.

According to his sons, not a very nice person off screen?.

[Cowfold Seagull]

He wasn't for me I'm afraid, I didn't find his brand of comedy particularly funny. However it's always very sad when someone passes away, so RIP.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I honestly thought he'd gone already. V. surprised.

I'm not sure about that, I think he comes across really affable and engaging in this interview with him last year...

I agree, it seemed to be a lot of shouting and arm waving. Still RIP to a man that entertained many.
