He's one of those wonderful actors who can say more by a raised eyebrow than others can with an entire speech.

My dad swore to his dying day that Maverick was the best show ever to be on television.

My wife and I have really enjoyed watching the Rockford Files shows on DVD. You've brought countless hours of excellent entertainment to both of us. We wish you a very speedy recovery, and hope you're back on the golf course ASAP. Thanks again Mr. Garner, All the best Terry & Anita

Hello everyone. I'm the moderator here, and it is with great happiness that I'm able to report to you that Jim has made a fantastic recovery from what turned out to be a severe stroke.

Contrary to reports in the National Enquirer, his speaking abilities were NOT affected; his mind was not affected. He did have some weakness on his left side, but that too is now gone. He is still in rehab, but he is doing great and should be finished soon.

I feel that I can speak for Jim in telling all of you how very much your concern is appreciated, and how much it helped.

Thanks again for Jim.

Thank you for this site. I have been unable to obtain an update on one of my favorite actors. If you know Garner he would hate all this attention. Nonetheless we all wish you a speedy recovery Jim and look forward to seeing on the golf course.

Yes, Jim is very publicity shy. But, he does understand his fan's concern for him, and does appreciate our well wishes.

Please see the post "my dad" on this forum. That was posted by his younger daughter, Gigi Garner.
