Anybody see Paul Le Mat (Milner) at BTTF's?

I happened to be walking by when the DJ was interviewing him, man the guy looked rough. Said that he got paid $4000 for AG. His T-shirt was so worn, it looked like it was 10 yrs. old. You would think that BTTF's could throw him a new T-shirt just for being there... Hope he's doing ok...

 

i also seen him..... yeah he didnt look so good....?

 

A lot of guy's wear 10 year old raggidy T-shirts, that don't make 'em poor and needy.

 

well shit. American Grafitti was 40 years ago!

 

Maybe Toad had his good shirt that day?

 

Glad you guys didn't see me then. Hate to think how you'd say I looked, and I'm probably 20 years younger than LeMat.

 

He's been living off AMERICAN GRAFITTI for over 40YRS.

 

Here's a photo of my better half and Paul...he looked rough, but he was as cool as he's always been.

 

you cant stay 17 forever

 

.....he's holding up better than Mackinzie Phillips

...ain't that the truth !

 

Well he's no kid anymore but he looks better than he did years ago when he was really sick,and NO he hasnt "been living" off AG he has done alot of TV and some other movies,its really the love of it for Paul,and yeah he makes OK money off it as does some of the other cast members..............

 

Some of us age well and others not so well such as life. He is still the greatest in my book! When I met him he freaked out that I knew all about AG, was easy since I grew up in Petaluma. Was fun to talked to him in the 82 while we filmed another one of his movies together and them meeting him again just a few years ago at a local charity car show called Thunder on the Lot here in Lancaster. "We were remembering the good times"

 

He's 64, I think he looks okay.

 

I've never heard anybody say a bad word about that guy...hope I get to talk to him someday.

got his autograph, he looked rough, until i found out he was 64, i thought he was younger.

 

Well let me quote another famous old actor

"When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hm?" Yoda

 

Ron Howard?

 

Hahaha! He looks better than I do, and I'm a year younger!

 

I always liked "Aloha Bobby and Rose"
I've had the pleasure to talk to him a couple times and he has always been very cool and willing to just sit and talk. Gary

 

Meet Paul at a West Haven Ct. Car cruise about 5 yrs ago he was on tour w/ the yellow 32. He did look a little rough then but the 32 looked a lot worse. Got his autograph, talked for a while he a cool guy.

 

I have seen him at a few events over the years and looks about the same as he did a VLV a while back. I think he looks great for his age I would have bet he was in his 50's. But after seening him is is wore out tshirt and freind of mine made the comment.

MILNER LIVES!.........from day to day.

 

I bought a model of the coupe in Louisville and had him sign it. The next year I bought two more for pals! He is a good guy.

 

Does he charge for his autograph like some of them do?

 

...I remember as a 13 year old kid walking out of the Elmora Theater in Elizabeth, NJ that night and wishing that somehow, someway I could have been John Milner. Such a great character by Lucas and Le Mat was perfect for the part. It was definitely the moment I started thinking about building my own hot rod.

The scene where he pulls the car out of the garage after "uncorking" the headers is probably my favorite 30 seconds of movie footage of all time....the kids throwing the ball around the parking lot, the way the car lurches when he lets out the clutch, how he clips the curb at the pump island with the back tire...pulls a cigarette out of his sleeve and lights it up talking to the pump jockey....it all seemed so real and so cool.
I never get tired of watching that movie.
