Letters: James Garner always made it seem as though he was not acting at all

Fred Lee writes: James Garner co-starred with Joanne Woodward in an excellent adaptation of Anne Tyler's novel Breathing Lessons. Made for TV in 1994, it is a story of a middle-aged couple re-evaluating their marriage on a journey to a friend's funeral. Garner belonged in that group of actors who always make it seem as though they are not acting at all. In Breathing Lessons he gives one of my favourite performances as a patient and devoted husband to a frustrating wife, showing no malice but I don't think he could do malice very well anyway.
