Captain D Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 I know that Sorrel Booke has passed, but what caused his death and how old was he? Where did he live? Any kids? Ect....Thank you!Aaron Quote
JDhoggjr Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Sorrell studied at Yale and Columbia University, and mastered five languages (Six if you count Boss' Southern Drawl). During the Korean War, Booke worked in counter-intelligence where his lingual talents served him well.He died of colorectal cancer in 1994 just after his 64th birthday.Has two children: Alexandra and Nicholas Quote
Captain D Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Posted December 5, 2005 Hi there & thank you for your reply!I even read that Sorrel even earned his Masters Degree in literature, or something related. It's ashame that he passed away. He was a quality, and an intelligent, actor indeed. It would have been great seeing him in the 1997 Hazzard-Reunion for sure! Kindest Regards,Aaron Quote
The_Dukes_Generl_Lee01 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 yeah that would've been awesome! YEEHAW! Quote
georgiagal1 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 On the DVD (Season 1) when Cathy and John do the commentary thing on One Armed Bandits...I thought Cathy said he could speak 9 different languages?? Quote
Bo Duke's Girl Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 It's going to be 12 years of Sorrell's death soon Quote
Big-E Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 Are their any web sites dedicated to Sorrell Booke? Quote
twinkie28 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Sorrel's aunt and uncle lived in my hometown (Bradford, PA) and owned a furniture store here, just a block or so from where I grew up watching the Dukes. It's been a restaurant the last 20 years or so. Their last name was Yasgur.--Amy Quote
Lukas_KD Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 On the DVD (Season 1) when Cathy and John do the commentary thing on One Armed Bandits...I thought Cathy said he could speak 9 different languages??I believe she did... however, speaking a language to some extent and truly mastering it are two different things. Possibly that's the difference. I'm really not sure how many he spoke, though.~Lukas Quote
