Touching heartwarming Tribute Memorium 2012 that TCM pays respects to: All those treasure legendary Actors/Actresses (P. Diller, E. Borgnine, Peter Breck, Albert Freeman, Jonathin Frid, etc.,.) that give much enjoyment to us fans on the big screen and small screen. Thank you for your creative gifts you shared w/the World. Yes, for sure I've enjoyed ALL the DAVID'S (Joseph Gordon-Levitt-total mischeif David and Guilliver/he added a sweeter edge to David I think so/just a little mischeif AND of course the legendary David HENESY-the Original DARK SHADOWS's very "clever & puzzleing" David Collins)...'I also was moved by their fine performance in the movie LINCOLN.
