 in my opinion. Speaking of the Rockford Files, actress Julia Benjamin worked with James Garner on two episodes of the Rockford Files, The Black Mirror and The Prisoner of Rosemont Hall. Julia writes on our Facebook page, Jimmy specifically requested me for the role of Melinda in Rosemont Hall. My heart is heavy. Thank you, Julia. My heart was certainly heavy when I learned of the passing James Garner, simply because of the sheer number of people who became part of my life one way or another as a result.
