Only yesterday (3.16), I was telling my son about those still alive in Sarasota who had worked on the DeMille picture, and I named Jackie LeClaire. What a sadness to learn of his passing. May it have been a peaceful crossing, and may he be Blessed with his Eternity on The Big Lot.

Daviso Cristiani gave him
the nickname "Tweety Bird"
Belmonte Cristiani gave him that name...Double check with Kenny just to make sure.
I'm heade over to Kenny's right now to
pick up some photos of Jackie LeClaire
Jackie died in his sleep last night
Sorry to hear about Jackie LeClaire...One of the last of the Old Guard...Rest in Peace.....
You are absolutely correct about Belmonte
Kenny was extremely close with Jackie so
even though this was expected from recent
severe downturn in Jackie's health it has
affected him very deeply
Jackie would have turned 92 in May
This makes 3 very recent losses
More about that later

Yes indeed Jackie went out with
ease & grace quietly in his sleep
Thoughout his last few month of a
steep decline in health there was
no real suffering on his part
I asked Kenny who might still be
alive from the film & he could
only immediately recall Mary Jane
And La Norma Fox....
