I'm sure he was as nice a fellow as all have said. But not everybody outside of the US will have a clue as to who he was.

This is the main thing I think about when his name comes up. Plastic surgery. |

I always thought he had a youthful charm that came through the eyes despite the surgery and hair dye...like he really loved life, music, and being on tv. |
