In case you used this thread, here's my post from the other one...
Very nice memorial poll, Breu. Boo Radley is one of my favorite characters ever and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a favorite film and book of mine but my vote will go to "his unforgettable character roles." His performance as Boo was beautiful, though. My other favorite is performance in 'The Paper.'
Oh, do you just want to make this the thread since it's working? Those "private" threads can take a while.
I suggest the following edits (in bold):

#5: "This work illustrates the lasting cultural impact of his career film and literature." I'm wondering what impact his career had on literature?
