"Billy Jack" star Tom Laughlin dead at 82
Quote:
Actor and activist Tom Laughlin, best known for the Billy Jack films, died last week at age 82, his family announced Sunday.
In addition to that series of films — which kicked off with 1967′s The Born Losers — Laughlin also mounted three failed bids to become the president, starting in 1992. There were four Billy Jack films in all, and Laughlin co-produced and starred in all of them alongside his wife, Delores Taylor, to whom he’s been married since 1954.
In addition to Taylor, Laughlin is survived by their three children: Frank, Teresa, and Christina.
Interesting and strange dude who will always have a place in cult pop culture.
