ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 That's too bad. I got to meet him back in 2000 when I was working my first job at McDonald's in Springfield on Highway 65. He and his crew dropped in for some ice cream on the way back to Branson. Very nice guy, especially considering I was just some random high school kid working for minimum wage after school.
Philrad71 Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 Also: Ann Wedgeworth from Three's Company fame - I used to love her on that show! Link
tinaalsgirl Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Oh nooo. I knew Miss Della was sick, but... GOD, this hurts my heart. Touched By An Angel was my first major TV fandom, and I absolutely ADORED Della....
WayCool64 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 That's honestly the most heartbreaking news I've heard this year. I had just learned about David Cassidy not through the Partridge Family surprisingly, but rather the old and very obscure Las Vegas show EFX. I knew he was suffering through dementia recently, but this came as such a shock. It's a real shame I'll never get to meet him now. Since I originally knew him through EFX, I think it's appropriately fitting to use this song from the show in remembrance (which ironically was in a scene where he played a spirit):
scottiemon Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Sadly, Jim Nabors, AKA Gomer Pyle, age 87. That's a good age though.
Nrthwnd Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Well, gollllllee! Miss ya Gomer. A lot. And your singing voice was stunning, btw.
Nrthwnd Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Elton John's Mom. R.I.P. She was 92 years old. And she raised a pretty good kid, too.
Nrthwnd Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Not to jinx a subject. But - whew! This is pretty good (i.e minimal losses), compared to last Holiday Season. Bright Blesses to all for the New year!
bert425 Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Rose Marie passed yesterday . . surprised that didn't make this thread she had the longest running career in showbiz - from age 4 to 94 here's a wonderful Obituary from her friend Mark Evanier (a well known writer of comics, and animated shows): https://www.newsfromme.com/2017/12/28/rose-marie-r-p/
Nrthwnd Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 ^ Saw that, too. Sad to hear about. She was great, and was definitely given great dialogue to keep her level with all the guys in that series, including Van Dyke. Her and actresses like Eve Arden and Rosalind Russell are all time faves of mine. Basically female sidekicks, but amazingly well written ones. And "Auntie Mame."
tinaalsgirl Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Jerry Van Dyke passed away on the 5th. I'll miss him! http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42594242
Nrthwnd Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Donnelly Rhodes, an awesome Canadian actor, who's appeared in a huge number of (mostly) U.S. tv series (incl. Soap, a retro fave of ours), and several films, has passed away at the age of 80. He also did some live theater locally, which means here in Vancouver, so I got to see him live in a few plays. Great actor. We'll miss him.
SFNE Fan Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan, at age 46
Nrthwnd Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Hugh Masekela, South African Jazz Giant, Dead at 78. Quote: Renowned trumpeter scored Number One hit with "Grazing In the Grass," fought apartheid with song for Nelson Mandela, "Bring Him Back Home." One of The Best Jazz Trumpeters I have ever heard.
tinaalsgirl Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Ursula K. Le Guin, age 88, passed away. She was a well-known fantasy/sci-fi author.
I Like Theme Parks. Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Mark E Smith from the Fall. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jan/24/mark-e-smith-lead-singer-with-the-fall-dies-aged-60
Dombot Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Ursula K. Le Guin, age 88, passed away. She was a well-known fantasy/sci-fi author. What? How did I miss this? The Earthsea books are without a doubt one of the best fantasy series in literature to date. Sad to hear.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Good riddance. Hoping his son hits this thread next. He's even worse.
Philrad71 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 ^ It was his type of hellfire and brimstone crap that turned me away from any type of organized religion growing up. Well that and when I was bullied at a Christian camp by a Deacon's kids while he was busy diddling little boys in his own cabin (luckily I wasn't one of them).
