Philrad71 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 That really sucks about Garry Shandling...I guess he was trying to call 911 for help when he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ken Howard, 71. Kenneth Joseph "Ken" Howard, Jr. was an American actor, best known for his roles as Thomas Jefferson in 1776 and as basketball coach and former Chicago Bulls player Ken Reeves in the television show The White Shadow. He also did a good number of Broadway plays and musicals before hitting it big with The White Shadow on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ^He was also Thomas Jefferson the original cast and movie versions of 1776. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ^ On my very first visit to New York in 1976, not only did I get to see the original casts of "A Chorus Line", "Chicago" and "Pacific Overtures" (Sondheim's newest, back then), I got lucky to see Howard in a production of Alan Ayckborn's trilogy plays, The Norman Conquests. It was three plays that could be seen in any order, if you saw all three of them. Quite ingenious. Estelle Parsons, Barry Nelson, Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss were also in the cast. Great fun I remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The one and only Patty Duke. I heard a rumor years ago, that she was in consideration for Princess Leia in the original SW trilogy. But of course, Carrie Fisher got it, instead. Anybody else remember this "retro rumor"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbomser Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 In all seriousness, it would be quintessential Mel Brooks to die on April 1... Let's just hope that doesn't happen for a few years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yay101 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I am very sad with how many notable people are dying this year - David Bowie, Lemmy from Motorhead, and now Prince, not to mention Mike Chance. Rest in peace, you guys didn't deserve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
