Birthday Brad

.

Well what have we here? Yes, it's the second day in a row where I'm stealing following Nat's lead at The Film Experience, where he lets foolish lil' me know it's an obsession-o-mine's birthday and I run off with it. (These birthday posts are handy things, Nat! Thanks!) Anyway, today would've been the beautiful Brad Davis' 60th birthday (!) if he hadn't died of AIDS in 1991. If you click on the all-inclusive Brad Davis label here at MNPP you'll see I've documented him pretty well... I need to do some scouring, find some new stuff, I do. But here are a few I haven't posted before in the lovely man's honor.


Those last several shots are from Sybil, which he was the male lead in opposite Sally Field of course, and today's her birthday too, which she's actually - thankfully! - alive for, so a happy 63 to her. Your hair looks like a brown football helmet! I say that with affection, of course.

He had a mystique about him. AIDS is an unforgiving disease.

Heroin's a helluva drug.

Tell me about it! It ravaged his looks and contributed to his death.

That black and white banner pic you posted was when he was suffering from the onslaught of AIDS.

By then, he just looks sick. No hiding it now.
