My Take
Steve Forrest belongs to a vanishing breed of dependable mid-century leading men. Texas-born and UCLA-educated, he worked steadily across film, stage and television for decades, most memorably as Lt. Hondo Harrelson in S.W.A.T. I find his 1982 Razzie for Mommie Dearest oddly endearing rather than damning; a working actor with that much range can wear a bad-movie prize lightly. What draws me to him is his durability and that rugged, understated charisma. He never chased superstardom, yet he left a warm, lasting imprint on American screens before his passing in 2013.
