David Carradine came from a family of accomplished actors. His father and brother both had colorful careers in movies as well.

Don’t forget David’s work on Wild West Tech. I loved that show.

One of my all time childhood favorite TV shows. "As quickly as you can snatch the pebbles from my hand, When you can snatch the pebbles from my hand it will be time for you to leave."

My nickname was Grasshopper when I was in elementary and high school because my last name was Hopper. I met David Carradine when he was one of the actors in The Long Riders. I was a housekeeper at the resort where he and the rest of the actors were staying. He was nice and didn't mind taking the time to chat.

A friend of mine was a stunt co-ordinator on the 90's Kung-Fu, The Legend Continues TV show shot in Toronto. He said David did not make it easy with his heavy drinking, and its the main reason the show was cancelled! Thankfully he then went into rehab. I loved the original show! Especially the beginning where he has to pick up the scalding hot pot! Thanks Steve! (When you can snatch the pebble from my hand! It will be time for you to go! )

Keye Luke was also an incredibly talented artist. What a career! Thanks, Steve.

"You always discover interesting things when you visit cemeteries" How true Steve, how true. That is why I just love exploring cemeteries. Glad to see there are others like me out there! I always enjoy your postings.

I've never seen a traffic jam in a cemetery. We would watch Kung Fu and The Wild Wild West every Saturday as a kid. Brandon Lee played in a movie done of Kung Fu if I remember correctly. I think he was either young Cain or his son. Great show that I miss.

[mandyrotchekk]

[wendyfletcher]

DAVID CARRADINE was wonderful actor such sad loss😅stay safe Steve, looking forward to next Vlog my friend 😀

[billl]

Only in LA would you run into heavy traffic in a cemetary. LOL.

[markphillipson]

Thanks Steve, one of my favourite shows at the time. It’s always interesting how many accomplishments are attached to people’s Memorials. Some famous persons say very little, some are overdone.

Being raised protestant, the show, as a pre-teen, influenced me to search other beliefs. Today I understand that all who see the One with a different face roaming around the bottom of the mountain, will eventually find the mystery the same at the top. We all who are one come to peace in the same Home. Happy early turkey to u and yours. Hi to mom...

[Corgis]

That whole family of the Caradines certainly were a spooky character bunch

[wendymudkins]
