George Maharis

One of the best television shows in my time. Whenever I get nostalgic, I watch these old shows and wish I could teleport myself back in time. Thanks George for the memories.

During the years 1960-1963 when George was on Route 66, I was 13 to 16 years old and I never missed an episode. Buz was so cool. I was dark and European ethnic like George and I tried to emulate him in some ways, his toughness and the way he dressed. It was a great series and George never missed. It’s sad to know he’s gone. But we will always have Route 66! Rest in peace, George!

Dear Fam Maharias and Friends: I recently watched for the 1st time, classic film: Exodus, Directed by Otto Preminger. Mr. Maharis had a part and of course, I admired his acting equally in Route 66!
I wanted to write and thank him for his exceptional talent and performances.
I am saddened to hear of his passing years ago. Expressing my deepest condolences
and appreciation for decades of contributions to the film industry. Being a minority, work hard, have successful career,...

I never missed an episode of Route 66 just to see George Maharis. I had such a crush on him. I drew a picture of him in my art class. I quit watching the show when you left. I was 15 at the time.

This handsome talented man was my heartthrob when I was a teenager and he brought such Joy to a lonely teenage girl God bless his soul

Dear George - we met in 1984 and had a very nice friendship. I will miss you until I join you.

Love, Augie

I was sorry to learn about Mr Maharis passing. I will always remember him from Route 66 as a kid at the time I always watched the series. I even purchased it when it was released on DVD. I learned late of his passing wished now I had written to him about my memory of Route 66.

I remember watching Route 66 when I was a teenager. I always thought George Maharis was so great looking. I’m glad he lived a nice long life.

GM: He will be missed as Jack McAlister in Episode: 'Programmed For Death' of 1989 Superboy the series!
