He went to Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University). He was married to his wife for almost 50 years.

18. In 2007 he divorced Pam to marry a younger woman with whom he has two young children

He was with first wife Pam for nearly 40 years before leaving her for 2nd wife

I always found him entertainingly charismatic playing charming but flawed and complex characters

21. Hmmm, Wikipedia says they were still married n/t

9. The Emerald Forest, directed by John Boorman is an excellent movie that Boothe stars in.
