Biography
The son of an Oklahoma carpet layer, Garner dropped out of high
school at 16 to join the merchant marine. He worked in a variety of
jobs and received the purple heart when he was wounded during the
Korean War. He had his first chance to act when a friend got him a
non speaking role in the Broadway stage play "The Caine Mutiny
Court Martial (1954)". Part of his work was to read lines to the
lead actors and he began to learn the craft of acting. This play
lead to small Television roles, Television commercials and a
contact with Warner Brothers. Garner would find that Director David
Butler would see something in him and give him all the attention
that he needed when he appeared in _Girl He Left Behind, The
(1956)_ (qv). After co-starring in a handful of films during
1956-57, Warner Brothers gave Garner a co-starring role in the
Television series _"Maverick" (1957)_ (qv). Originally cast as an
alternating series between Bart Maverick ('Jack Kelly (I)' (qv))
and Brett Maverick (Garner), the show quickly turned into the Brett
Maverick Show. As Maverick, Garner was cool, good-natured, likeable
and always ready to use his wits to get him in or out of trouble.
Highly successful, Garner would continue in the Western into 1960
when he left the series in a dispute over money. Laid back,
humorous and handsome, Garner moved in films as a Star. In the
early 60's, his persona transferred over to films which were mostly
the same type of character he had played on "Maverick". His
successful films included _Thrill of It All, The (1963)_ (qv),
_Move Over, Darling (1963)_ (qv), _Great Escape, The (1963)_ (qv)
and _Americanization of Emily, The (1964)_ (qv). After that, his
career wandered and when he appeared in the automobile racing movie
_Grand Prix (1966)_ (qv), he got the bug to race professionally.
Soon, this ambition turned to supporting a racing team, not unlike
what Paul Newman would do in later years. It would take a few
years, but Garner would finally find success with his role in a
Western comedy _Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969)_ (qv). He would
try to repeat his success with the film _Support Your Local
Gunfighter (1971)_ (qv), but that film was not as funny. After 11
years, Garner would return to Television in a role not unlike his
role in _Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969)_ (qv). The show was the
Television Series _"Nichols" (1971)_ (qv) and he would play the
Sheriff who would try to solve all problems with his wits and
without gun play. After all, it was the 1900's. When the show was
cancelled, Garner took the news by having Nichols shot dead, never
to return in a sequel. In 1974, Garner became the classic
Television private eye in _"Rockford Files, The" (1974)_ (qv). This
would be his second major Television hit with 'Noah Beery Jr.' (qv)
and 'Stuart Margolin' (qv). Rockford would be hired by people who
lied, cheated and were usually unable to pay for his services. He
would be the king of creating business cards spawning a computer
program which did the same thing. In 1977, he would win an Emmy for
Best Actor in his portrayal of Rockford. But injuries and the
realization that "creative bookkeeping" would not give him any of
the profits soon soured him and the show ended in 1980. In the
80's, Garner appeared in few movies, but the ones that he did
appear in were darker than the likeable Garner of old. His films
included _Tank (1984)_ (qv), 0087340 and _Murphy's Romance (1985)_
(qv). For the latter, he would be nominated for both the Academy
Award and a Golden Globe. Returning to the Western mode, he
co-starred with the young 'Bruce Willis' (qv) in _Sunset (1988)_
(qv), a mythical story of Wyatt Earp, Tom Mix and 20's Hollywood.
In the 90's, Garner would gain great reviews for his role in the
Television movie about corporate greed _Barbarians at the Gate
(1993) (TV)_ (qv). After that, he would appear in the Hollywood
remake of his old Television series _Maverick (1994)_ (qv), where
he would play pa to 'Mel Gibson' (qv). Most of his appearances
after that would be in numerous Television movies based upon
_"Rockford Files, The" (1974)_ (qv).
