James Garner dead???

patbz — Wed, 27 Apr 2016 04:34:41 GMT

Read on Facebook that James Garner died this week. Haven't seen this anywhere else, so now I'm wondering if it is true. Does anyone know for certain, one way or the other?

He passed in 2014.

The "news" of his death is going around on FB like it just happened, I saw it on my own timeline.

I just checked on IMDb and he died in July 2014.

I'm pretty sure he died last year. Sometimes FB runs stories again on the anniversary they occurred - check the year on it. He was my favorite!

I just loved James Garner.

@greamy You might be interested in this. When Sally Field's recent film came out, People did a long story about her career. When asked who the best kisser was that she kissed in films, she said it was James Garner. (From when they made Murphy's Romance - I love that movie). Somehow her response didn't surprise me. Which made me love him all the more.

I really hate that. I always check the date on a story before I pass it on and if there is no date on the piece, I search the keywords to find one that does have a date and share that instead.

these types of postings on facebook seem to happen almost weekly now. someone that has died years ago will all of a sudden have a death article posted by a poster on facebook......and then it takes off and spreads like wildfire.

most of the time, if i dont remember the passing, i go to their wikipedia page to see a date of death.
