    It's a shame Mr. Stockwell was only on Letterman once. He was a really classy dude and an underrated actor. R.I.P.

      All the Jimmy’s/James’s are appalling hosts. Intelligent and witty conversation has been replaced with fake laughs, pandering and childish games. Kimmel does political jokes badly, Fallon Is embarrassingly childish and dull, Corden seems to cater to teenage girls who like singalongs.

      For me he also did a great job as Dr. Wellington Yueh, especially when Dean was the first live-action Yueh. I hope Dean realized in these past 3 decades that Dune 1984 eventually became a huge cult classic, especially in light of the 3rd & latest adaptation of Herbert's Dune.

    For publication
    I chauffeured Dean and Joy Stockwell when he was nominated for his Academy Award in ‘89.
    Dean was interviewed after the Awards in front of the Auditorium where he was asked, by Channel 7, “How do you feel about being rediscovered?” Dean took personal offense and laughed at the word rediscovered. He later told Joy, in the limousine back, “I never knew I was ‘undiscovered’!"
    Entertainment Tonight followed us from his front door, to the awards, but since he didn’t win they broke off. Cheep Shot! Funny, Joy needed a restroom along the way where I found a clean off route facility.
    Entertainment Tonight followed us to the building and then followed Joy up the stairs where she locked her door, put her stockings on, then came out asking them if they saw enough through the keyhole. (There was no keyhole of course, but I think it drove her point into their snoopy notebooks & cameras.)
    Dean and Joy were wonderful, gave me a ticket to the Board of Governor’s Ball, went to Spagos for the after party (where they introduced me to Teri Garr, Tom Cruse, Al Pacino, Frank, Sonny, and so many more), then to their home.
    Of the countless people I've chauffeured in my 30 years, I absolutely love this couple and their presence. I was so upset and tear filled to hear Dean passed away this year. He is a Hollywood and Film Legend. !
    All my personal best and warmth to Joy (though divorced from Dean, I know she's devastated) , his daughter Sophia, and son Austin. If you need my help, please call on me.

I would've loved to have seen a book written about him maybe from his friends or children .from what he's said in interviews and articles he led such a interesting life between acting .
