I didn't realize his resume was so impressive. We all remember him as the cool Manolito, Victoria's ladies man brother in High Chapparal, but he did so much more!  I watched him 2 nights ago in Attica which starred Morgan Freeman, Charles Durning, Roger E. Mosley  etc.

I don't have to say much about this guy. Nearly everyone knows who he is. He was a new kind of actor too.  He played some interesting roles. A great actor!

The documentary on her life has still been released on her 100th birthday (although from memory I think originally it was supposed to be called "Betty White is 100", or something like that:

Betty White: A Celebration (2022) - IMDb

I would love to watch it.
