The Life and Sad Ending® of Victor French 

I remember watching Highway to Heaven as a kid… RIP Michael Landon

I quit smoking July 4, 2008. The older I get, the more I realize how lucky I am to still be alive.

Yes remember him in highway ro heaven and little house on the prairie. RIP to a nice fellow..

He had the same tough guy look as Robert Shaw who was also a great actor. Always enjoy hearing the background on these actors as usually all we see is their role performance. Thank you again. 👍

I seen Victor French in a lot of westerns and TV shows , my favorite is his roll on “Litle House “”🏠. Wow only 54 years old when he passed , that’s sad . Both of my parents smoked , they are no longer with us either 😮 😇 My mother ❤ and sister watched Highway To Heaven 📺 Thank you .

I liked Victor French in any role he played. He was a great actor.

His best show HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN. Very inspiring!!

I enjoyed Victor French in all the roles I saw him in. A really good actor. May he RIP 🙏 🪦

I love your content and all you do here.

I really liked him in Highway To Heaven. He died too young.

Liked him best in Little House. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

I loved " HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN " 💙 Some of the shows I didn't realize he appeared on. Plus, the fact I didn't see them ... because if I had, I know I would have recognized him. I just liked him...period.

Highway to heaven, Great role like all his others. RIP MR. FRENCH. Thanks for the clip. ☘️☘️

A party for all his friends in his honour ...Victor french whattaguy... I enjoyed highway to heaven as a kiddie.

I loved his song on little house. As a smoker, i was always terrified of lung cancer or emphysema , i stopped four years ago. It can be done if you try, in my case over and over again. But so far so good !!!!

That’s a HARD 54 years! I used to watch Little House and Highway to Heaving (as MAD Magazine titled it Lol!) back when I was a child and he always seemed much older. Smoking is a helluva habit. I quit 17 years ago and feel much better. Look better too. RIP Victor. You always brought a smile to my face. And that Oakland A’s cap should be in the Smithsonian. 👍🏻

Loved Victor on Carter Country.

I liked him in Gunsmoke and Little House. How time flies. Oh my. Didn't know he was that young. Too many passing at a young age.

He was a great actor. I’ve seen so many episodes of Gunsmoke were he played bad guys but he could play good guys too. Little House on The Prarie proved that. Mr. Edwards was the best guy and he played that role expertly! There just ain’t actors like Victor French anymore. 😢

I loved mr edwards and victor french

only thing sad was the fact that he had died so young.

A nite to YOU... thank you for taking the time, research, and sharing with us.

I loved highway to heaven watched it when I was younger so sad both victor and michael both died due to smoking both died young r.i.p. both of you.😢

Thanks Steve

An interesting fact was that he was good friends with Michael Landon. He made appearances on Bonanza and Little House on the Prarie. Saw him on The FBI, Cannon, Barnaby Jones, Streets of San Francisco, ABC Movie Of The Week, and other shows. Also, did movies with John Wayne.

This show was before my time but I always knew of Landon. The last year or so Heaven to Highway I watched it when it was on tv. That is a good show. Victor sporting the A's hat, my favorite team when i was a kid

Little House on the Prarie!

Carter country my favorite show he did

Thank you

Victor French starred in the nbc drama bonanza where he met the late Michael Landon His future tv star on highway to heaven

He played with Elvis in CHARRO

It always seems like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is a parody of Victor French, but that came a decade prior! Haha!

I quit smoking on January 27th, 2009. I am so glad I quit. I smoked for 26 years.

I recall first seeing him on an episode of Daniel Boone likely around the same time he appeared on Bonanza.

He also played a couple of spots as a hippie dressed as Abraham Lincoln on The Beverly Hillbillies.

Highway to Heaven was wear I started watching him.

👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏from germany 💯😉

And of course Victor French was the original Agent 44 during the first season of Get Smart.

🙏🙏

Landon pretty much ended his series (Highway to Heaven) after French's passing.

Little house on the prairie and Highway to heaven

I’ve followed Michael Landon’s career for decades and never knew he was a smoker, let alone a chain smoker.

Thank God I quit smoking a decade ago for I had smoked for over 30 years.

54 years old? He looked much older than that.

I wonder why a lot of these actors and actresses have their ashes spread in the ocean. Seems like a popular thing I guess.

"his ashes were scattered at sea" ::shows picture of him with an "oh well" look by the ocean:: 😆

Cigs aged him he looks like late 60s
