The Hollywood tough guy joined the Army in 1942 during World War II at the age of 17. He offered technical support to movies and the media of the day.

For me, the first time I noticed him was as Ben Bowman in the Clint Eastwood movie, The Eiger Sanction.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2016\/02\/29\/tough-guy-journeyman-actor-george-kennedy-dies-at-1\/?intcmp=latestnews\">Fox News<\/a>, in later life, he became an advocate for adopted children, adopting four himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news comes to us that actor George Kennedy has passed at the tender age of &hellip; <a title=\"George Kennedy passes\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=64613\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">George Kennedy passes<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blue-skies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
