A heroic size bronze statue of 77-year old actor James Garner was unveiled in his hometown Oklahoma that depicts him as a young maverick. Garner told the hundreds of Oklahomans who attended the unveiling that he remained loyal to his home state despite having lived for more than a half-century in California. Garner got his first big acting break as Bret Maverick in the television series Maverick and went on to his most identifiable role, private investigator Jim Rockford of The Rockford Files.
Garner has been in nearly 100 films, including Murphy's Romance, for which he received an Oscar nomination, Victor/ Victoria and Space Cowboys.
