Our Rest In Peace section for Joe Don Baker is now up in the store. Joe left us at the age of 89 after giving us several decades of incredible performances. He cemented himself as a tough guy type, whether a character was good or bad, and commanded a large presence in every work he was involved in. His final film role was in 2012’s Mud, for which he won an Independent Spirit Award. From Walking Tall to Cape Fear, three different roles in James Bond films, Joe Don Baker’s legacy will last as long as film itself does. What a talent. Thank you, Joe 💐 (fb)
