Description

James Harrison Coburn, III, (August 31, 1928 – November 18, 2002) was an American film and television actor. Coburn appeared in nearly 70 films and made more than 100 television appearances during his 45-year career, winning an Academy Award for his supporting role as Glen Whitehouse in Affliction.
A capable, rough-hewn leading man, his toothy grin and lanky body made him a perfect tough-guy in numerous leading and supporting roles in westerns and action films, such as The Magnificent Seven, Hell Is for Heroes, The Great Escape, Major Dundee, Our Man Flint, In Like Flint, Duck, You Sucker, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Charade, and Cross of Iron.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s he would cultivate an image synonymous with "cool", and along with such contemporaries as Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson, became one of the prominent "tough-guy" actors of his day.

James Coburn
actors of his day.
Early life Coburn was born in Laure in Cedar County in far northeastern Nebraska, the son of James Coburn, Jr., and the [8] former Mylet Johnson. His father had a garage business that was ruined by the Great Depression. Coburn was of [1] Scotch Irish and Swedish descent. Coburn was reared in Compton, California, where he attended Compton Junior College and enlisted in 1950 in the United States Army, in which he served as a truck driver and an occasional disc jockey on an Army radio station in [9] Texas. Coburn also narrated Army training films in Mainz, Germany. Coburn attended Los Angeles City [10] College, where he studied acting alongside Jeff Corey and Stella Adler, then made his stage debut at the La Jolla [11] Playhouse in Herman Melville'sBilly Budd. Coburn was selected for a Remington Products razor commercial in which he was able to shave off eleven days of [12] beard growth in less than sixty seconds, while joking that he had more teeth to show on camera than the other [13] twelve candidates for the part.
Career Coburn's film debut came in 1959 as the sidekick of bad guy Pernell Roberts in the Randolph Scott westernRide [14] Lonesomealso appeared in dozens of television roles including, with Roberts, several episodes of NBC's. Coburn Bonanza. He appeared twice each on two other NBC westernsTales of Wells Fargowith Dale Robertson, one episode in the role of Butch Cassidy, andThe Restless Gunwith John Payne in "The Pawn" and "The Way Back", [15] the latter segment alongsideBonanza's Dan Blocker. During the 1960-1961 season, Coburn co-starred with Ralph Taeger and Joi Lansing in the NBC adventure/drama series,Klondike, set in the Alaskan gold rush town of Skagway. WhenKlondikewas cancelled, Taeger and Coburn were regrouped as detectives in Mexico in NBC's equally short-livedAcapulco. Coburn also made two guest appearances on CBS'sPerry Mason, both times as the murder victim in "The Case of the Envious Editor" and "The Case of the Angry Astronaut." Coburn became well known in the 1960s and the 1970s for his tough guy roles in several action and western films, first primarily with Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson in the John Sturges films,The Magnificent SevenandThe Great Escape. Coburn played the parts of a villainous Texan in the successfulCharade(1963). He was then cast as a glib naval officer in Paddy Chayevsky'sThe Americanization of Emily(1964) with James Garner and Julie Andrews. His performance as a one-armed Indian tracker inMajor Dundee(1965) gained him much notice. In 1966, Coburn became a bona fide star following the release of the James Bond parody filmOur Man Flint. In 1967, Coburn was [16] voted the twelfth biggest star in Hollywood. In 1971, Coburn starred in the spaghetti westernDuck, You Sucker!, directed by Sergio Leone, as an Irish explosives expert and revolutionary who has fled to Mexico during the time of the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century. Coburn teamed with director Sam Peckinpah for the 1973 filmPat Garrett & Billy the Kid, in which he played Pat Garrett. The two had worked together in 1965 onMajor Dundee. The producer of the film, Jerry Bresler, took editing responsibilities away from Peckinpah during post-production. Peckinpah's accused Bresler of engaging in sabotage of his film, and he threatened the studio with a lawsuit. Columbia Studios relented, mainly because Charlton Heston, the star ofMajor Dundee, said that he would no longer work for the studio unless Peckinpah was allowed editing rights to the film. Though some of Peckinpah's demands were met, the finished product was still not satisfactory to him, and Peckinpah disowned it. Peckinpah and Coburn were greatly disappointed and turned next to Cross of Iron, a critically acclaimed war epic that performed poorly in the U.S. but was a huge hit in Europe. Peckinpah and Coburn remained close friends until Peckinpah's death in 1984. In 1973, Coburn was among the featured celebrities dressed in prison gear on the cover of the albumBand On The Runmade by Paul McCartney and

his band Wings. Coburn returned to television in 1978 to star in a three-part mini-series version of a Dashiell Hammett detective novel,The Dain Curse, tailoring his character to bear a physical resemblance to the author. Because of his severe rheumatoid arthritis, Coburn appeared in very few films during the 1980s. Although his hands were visibly gnarled in film appearances within the final two decades of his life, Coburn continued working until his death in 2002. Coburn spent much of his life writing songs with British singer-songwriter Lynsey De Paul and doing television series as his work onDarkroom, and claimed to have healed himself with pills containing a sulfur-based compound. Coburn finally returned to film in the 1990s and appeared in supporting roles inYoung Guns II,Hudson Hawk,Sister Act 2,Maverick,Eraser,The Nutty Professor,Affliction, andPayback. Coburn's performance of Afflictioneventually earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Cars Coburn's interest in fast cars began with his father's garage business and continued throughout his life, as he exported [10] rare cars to Japan. Coburn was credited with having introduced Steve McQueen to Ferraris, and in the early 1960s owned a Ferrari 250 GT Lusso and a Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California SWB. His Spyder was the thirteenth of just [17] fifty-six built. Coburn imported the pre-owned car in 1964, shortly after completingThe Great Escape. The car was restored and sold for $10,894,400.00 to English broadcaster Chris Evans, setting a new world record for the [18] highest price ever paid for an automobile at auction. Cal Spyder #2377 was repainted several times during Coburn's ownership; it has been black, silver and possibly burgundy. He kept the car at his Beverly Hills-area home, where it was often serviced by Max Balchowsky, who also did the suspension and frame modifications on those Mustang GTs used in the filming of McQueen’s"Bullitt." Coburn sold the Spyder in 1987 after twenty-four years of ownership. Over time he also owned the above-noted [19] Lusso, a Ferrari Daytona, at least one Ferrari 308 and a 1967 Ferrari 412P sports racer.
Death
Coburn died of a heart attack on November 18, 2002 while listening to music at his home in Beverly Hills, California. He was survived by his second wife, Paula (nae Murad), son James, IV, and a stepdaughter. His ashes were interred in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, and marked by a stone bench inscribed with his name. At the time of his death, Coburn was the voice of the "Like a Rock" Chevrolet television ad campaign. James Garner succeeded Coburn for the remainder of the campaign.
Coburn's bench
Critical analysis In his New Biographical Dictionary Of Film, American-based British Film critic David Thomson stated that "Coburn is a modern rarity: an actor who projects lazy, humorous sexuality. It is the lack of neurosis, an impression of an amiable monkey, that makes him seem rather dated: a more perceptive Gable, perhaps, or even a loping Midwest Grant. He has made a variety of flawed, pleasurable films, the merits of which invariably depend on his laconic presence. Increasingly, he was the best thing in his movies, smiling privately, seeming to suggest that he was in [20] contact with some profound source of amusement".

Legendary film critic Pauline Kael remarked on Coburn's unusual characteristics, stating that "he looked like the [21] child of the liaison between Lt Pinkerton and Madame Butterfly". George Hickenlooper, who directed Coburn in [22] The Man From Elysian Fieldscalled him "the masculine male". Andy Garcia called him "the personification of class, the hippest of the hip", and Paul Schrader noted "he was of that 50's generation. He had that part hipster, part [23] cool-cat aura about him. He was one of those kind of men who were formed by the Rat Pack kind of style."
