After Watching 1976’s A Star Is Born For The First Time, I Was Reminded Of Something About Gary Busey

The late 1970s were arguably the best period for Gary Busey’s acting, based on critical acclaim. While I enjoyed his popular films like Lethal Weapon, Point Break, Under Siege, and The Firm in the late 80s and early 90s – those were his most commercially successful movies – the 70s showcased his talent beautifully. He gave a memorable performance as Bobbie in a film alongside Kristofferson, and 1978’s Straight Time is a truly excellent movie. Plus, he received an Oscar nomination for playing Buddy Holly in The Buddy Holly Story, which remains one of the best musical biopics ever made.
