Norman, Oklahoma, USA:
James Garner (nato James Scott Bumgarner il 7 aprile 1928 a Norman, in Oklahoma – morto il 19 luglio 2014 a Los Angeles, in California) è stato un attore statunitense, apprezzato per il suo carisma, il suo umorismo naturale e la capacità di interpretare personaggi ironici e anticonvenzionali. Dopo aver prestato servizio nell’esercito durante la guerra di Corea, iniziò a lavorare come attore, facendosi conoscere dal grande pubblico grazie alla serie western Maverick (1957-1960), nella quale interpretò il giocatore di carte Bret Maverick. Negli anni Sessanta si affermò anche al cinema, recitando in film come La grande fuga (1963), Tempo di guerra, tempo d’amore (1964) e Grand Prix (1966). Nel 1974 tornò al successo in televisione con Agenzia Rockford, interpretando Jim Rockford, un investigatore privato brillante e dalla battuta sempre pronta. Il ruolo gli valse un Primetime Emmy Award nel 1977 e rimase uno dei più celebri della sua carriera. Nel corso degli anni continuò a dividersi tra cinema e televisione, prendendo parte a film come Victor Victoria (1982), L'amore di Murphy (1985), per il quale ricevette una candidatura all’Oscar come miglior attore, e Space Cowboys (2000), diretto da Clint Eastwood. Negli ultimi anni raggiunse una nuova generazione di spettatori interpretando il marito anziano in Le pagine della nostra vita (2004). Con una carriera durata oltre cinquant’anni, Garner lasciò un segno importante nella storia del cinema e della televisione americana.
