Thank you Andrew for your tribute to Patrick McGoohan. I spent the better part of last spring working for a close relative of Mr. McGoohan's and he had so many interesting stories about this amazing man. I informed him of your article and he was quite taken by your kind words and even quoted one of your lines back to me

Blessings to you and all of the McGoohan family.

“THE THREE LIVES OF THOMASINA”

Wow, I haven’t thought about that show for a really long time. When it was mentioned above I immediately recalled McGoohan’s character. The guy leaves quite an impression. Still, the thing I remember the most about the show was that it was a rare three-parter and it was really tough as a kid to wait so long to find out that (spoiler alert!) Thomasina didn’t die and all was well!

I think Longshanks gets a bad rap. His decision to send in the Irish because “arrows cost money. the dead cost nothing.” may be one the last sincere efforts at fiscal conservatism.

Without even knowing who he was, i always thought it was a crying shame that he didn’t get more recognition for Longshanks in Braveheart. Think about, guys, that was a really top-notch performance. For that alone he will be missed.

Mr. McGoohan was brilliant as Longshanks, one of the most menacing villains I’ve ever seen on the screen. I’ve seen very little of The Prisoner, just rtemember it being weird as hell.

McGoohan was not the first choice for James Bond. He may have been second choice, but the first was Cary Grant. Ian Fleming had always said he pictured Grant as Bond. Also, Grant was a friend of Albert Broccoli. He turned it down because whoever played Bond in “Dr. No” would have to sign a contract obligating them to do four sequels as well. Grant said he’d do one Bond film, but not five. Sean Connery, who was fourth or fifth choice, was the one who was young and hungry enough to do commit to the contract.

I was also a big fan in the 60s, and since (major crush on my part). The Disney series was a favorite along with The Prisoner and Secret Agent. The other series was based on a delightful novel by Paul Gallicao “Thomasina”. I think it was released in theaters originally and showed serially on the TV later. I also admired his principled stands which are sometimes difficult to maintain in the best of circumstances, let alone in the Hollywood crucible.
