Happy Birthday in heaven to the great Paul Fix! A “4 Shots From 4 Films” special edition…

Posted on March 13, 2025 by Bradley Crain

If you love movies, then there’s no doubt you’ve seen the work of the great movie and TV character actor Paul Fix. With over 340 acting credits to his name, including 26 with John Wayne, Fix co-starred in some of the best movies and TV shows ever made. Born on March 13th, 1901, Fix passed away on October 14th, 1983, leaving behind a tremendous legacy of superior performances. I just wanted to take a moment to remember this amazing actor who’s provided me with so much great entertainment over the years!!
