Filmmaker Tom Laughlin, who shot to fame as the rugged half-breed action hero “Billy Jack,” died Thursday in Thousand Oaks, Calif., surrounded by his family. He was 82 years old.
While involved at one point with just about every facet of the film business, Laughlin may be best known for his series of “Billy Jack” films. He has been married to Delores Taylor since 1954, and she co-produced and acted in all four of the “Billy Jack” movies.
What can I say but those (the early 70s) were the days. I remember the group of friends that went to the cinema the night we saw Billy Jack, we liked it so much we went again a few nights later, every show sold out, Billy Jack was a hit.......
R.I.P. Tom ~ Billy
