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

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

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??

It's going to be 12 years of Sorrell's death soon

Are their any web sites dedicated to Sorrell Booke?

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.

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.
