My brother, an actor and voice talent, just texted me a story I’d never heard:
Still reeling from the death of my old acquaintance, Bill Paxton. Decades ago I made friends with Bill who came in regularly to our dad’s camera store [in Fort Worth, TX]. I remember like it was yesterday the day he told me he was moving to LA “to try to get into the biz”.
A few years ago, while in Dallas for some appearance, he was interviewed on KERA radio. I called in and got to talk to him. He remembered (or said he did) telling me that.
Bill was always a nice guy, and good actor. RIP
