So PLN announced on "Good Morning America" last week that he would be "closing the book" on his acting career. To quote the man, the myth, the legend: "I'm not able to work anymore as an actor and still at the level that I would want to. I'm just, you know, you start to lose your memory, you start to lose your confidence, you start to lose your invention. So I think that's pretty much a closed book for me."
While I'm very sad to see him end his movie career, I am thankful for the wonderful films he's provided us with and the fact that he will continue to devote his time to his charitable and environmental pursuits. It is a blessing that he chose to finish his career after the delightful Cars, and spared us all the pain of having to watch him in made-for-tv movies (ahem, Katharine Hepburn) or as a charicature of his own persona (ahem, Marlon Brando). Stay tuned for the next chapter in a most exciting life.
