    Been there done that. I would hope he has doctors that are as good as mine are.
    I always liked him in any of his roles, of course the yellow coupe made his fame
    C'mon Paul take those exercises. :)Take those drugs,:)

    All the best to Paul and his family. He played the role of John Milner so well. He was an instant hero in my young mind when I first saw American Grafitti.

    Seems like Paul's road of life hasn't been a very smooth one since way back on Paradise Road. Here's hoping that a full recovery is ahead for him. His portrayal of Milner made such a lasting impression on so many of us. Thoughts and prayers out to you, Sir. Hope you know how many of us care.:)....Don.

    I have seen on FB , he has had some visitors and looked happy. Hope he can shake this, his health has not been good for some time. He is a very kind, cool guy.

    I hope the best for him too, I still look at my signed picture of him in the yellow coupe.

    I could never understand why Paul did not do as well as the others in the movie AG. He did a great job with the role of John Milner and even served in the Navy completing a tour in Vietnam. I think that he even flew the Marlin seaplane. In my book and I don't know a lot about actors or drama, but old Paul is in the same playing field as James Dean and his car in the movie is a lot neater. Best of luck, take your meds, do what the doctor's say, and keep your hands of of the nurses behinds.
