The warmth of Jimmy's smile and voice brought joy, laughter and great stories to My Actor's Workshop a few years ago. He would run his movies on Sundays at the Bonita Community Center. Jimmy will always be a bright light in our hearts. Ms. D. "Creative Art Of Acting Workshop"

One day I was sick and stayed home, mom let me watch TV and I watched a movie about a kid, who was editor of the high school newspaper. It was very funny and I loved it! It was Henry Aldrich, Editor. Years later was able to find to find it and other Henry Aldrich series. Liking the actor, there were other movies available so I bought those. James Lydon was an actor who was an actors actor. True talent

I just say him recently on a classic western. No matter what the genre’, he could play it. I can’t remember the number the number of times I have watched Life With Father-a true classic. We may forget the actors as they age and pass on but they are forever preserved in the classic films they give us. May our Heavenly Father bring comfort to the family and friends.
