[about producer David Weisbart, for whom he worked on Custer (1967)] Truly, in or out of the business, one of the most wonderful human beings . . . We were doing very well in the ratings until about halfway through the 17 shows, Weisbart was on the golf course and had just uttered the words, "Isn't this a beautiful day, a gorgeous day to be out here . . . " and two minutes later he had a heart attack and died on the golf course.
