Rueben Malcolmn Livingston III

Rueben Malcolmn Livingston III was my first cousin, Butch. He visited me in Hollywood in 1990 and Jeffrey Jones and I took him out to one of Cher's old houses right on the Pacific in Malibu.  He tried like the devil not to be impressed but I knew he was because I sure as hell was.  It was as Over The Top as you would expect Cher's digs to be and it had and has the most spectacular view I have seen in Southern California.  Go a little north and Hearst Castle beats it to death but in Malibu that view cannot be surpassed.

Dear Butch had a troubled life and I saw him for the last time on a visit home to Alabama in 2000.  He died of cancer shortly afterwards.

It's good to have him in The Clock Series.  May he rest in peace.
