Document 7: Richard Benjamin Harrison: Harrison died on June 25, 2018, after a battle with Parkinson's disease. His funeral was held July 1, with his casket draped in an American flag on account of his service in the Navy. His son Rick eulogized him thus: ``He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool 'Old Man' as my dad. That I got to share him with so many others and they got to see what a great family man he was is something I am grateful to have experienced with him. ''Harrison was survived by wife JoAnne, three sons, 10 grandchildren and five great - grandchildren. Harrison placed his son Rick in charge of his estate. Christopher Keith Harrison, the youngest of Harrison's three sons, was intentionally omitted as a beneficiary in his father's will.

In the episode, a family photograph is briefly shown; Christopher's face is blurred out.

C. Fields, and Donald O'Connor.

Document 10: Olin Howland: Howland often played eccentric and rural roles in Hollywood. His parts were often small and uncredited, and he never got a leading role. He was a personal favorite of David O. Selznick, who cast him in his movies "Nothing Sacred" (1937) as a strange luggage man, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1938, as the teacher Mr. Dobbins) and "Gone with the Wind" (1939) as a carpetbagger businessman. He also played in numerous westerns from Republic Pictures, including the John Wayne films "In Old California" (1942) and "Angel and the Badman" (1947). As a young man, Howland learned to fly at the Wright Flying School and soloed on a Wright Model B. This lent special sentiment in his scenes with James Stewart in the film "The Spirit of St. Louis" (1957), as Stewart was also a pilot in real life. "The Spirit of St. Louis" and "Them (1954)",where he played a drunken old man, and The Blob (1958) were his last films.

At the awards ceremony James Stewart, a close friend of Cooper, accepted the Honorary Oscar on his behalf.

Less than four weeks later, on May 13, 1961, six days after his 60th birthday, Cooper died.
