Following the recent passing of celebrated actor James Garner, it becomes necessary to reflect on the icon's comprehensive body of work. Among a younger generation, the 86 year old actor is likely best known for 2004's The Notebook. The actor is also known for his earlier work as 1963's The Great Escape and 1985's Murphy's Romance, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. He also had notable roles in television including Bret Maverick in Maverick during the 1950s and as Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files in the 1970s.
Many of these James Garner tributes are related to work he did (mainly The Notebook) such as evocative engagement photos, romantic fight scene parodies and sentimental gelatin snacks. Other innovations like silver screen astrology charts pay homage to Hollywood Walk of Fame-recognized films.
