I like how, in the below photo, Joe Lewis had no qualms with handing over a trophy named after Bruce Lee circa 1974.

Ok, so I recall reading about Bruce Lee talking to a movie producer in the late 60's?, about Joe Lewis and how good he thought Lewis was in temrs of his ability. Does such a quote exist, or is this just my meory mixing up with something else?.

In a recent issue of Dark Side magazine ,Joe's ex-wife Barbara Leigh was interviewed and she briefly mentioned part of the reason the marriage failed was drugs-never heard Joe's name being mentioned in connection with them before?

I've heard talk through the "shorin ryu circles" that Joe had a severe addiction to cocaine in the 70s.  One of the reasons he had to leave Hollywood in the early 80s, only to make a kickboxing comeback in the PKA in 1984.
