A funny guy on paper or on the screen, insightful, sarcastic, sardonic and an important figure in SINA.

Thanks for the laughs and keeping our brain cells working.

    I can't watch the video from here, but I should have written that is was the line Buck Henry was most proud of, not the one he was most famous for. The Peace Corp made a recruiting commercial using that very scene with different actors, and Buck Henry was proud of that too.
    
    I had to look up the name, but do you remember his character from SNL called, Uncle Roy? Man, you couldn't get away with that now, nor should anyone be able to. They say all three skits are on YT.

it seemed understatement was his shtick.
- Buck Henry wrote some great screenplays including... The Graduate, Catch-22, What's Up Doc and.... - TWB 15:04:07 01/11/20 (1)
  The Owl And The Pussycat... he also directed one of my favorite films with Warren Beatty... Heaven Can Wait... He had a great gift to be certain!

    but I liked his onscreen work, too.
That's too bad. - Sondek 11:47:12 01/11/20 (0)
Agee, Buck was one of a kind.
