bert425 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 lost two today: the original Marilyn Munster, Beverley Owen (she played Marilyn for 13 episodes before quitting and being replaced by the better known Pat Priest) and the one that hit me a bit harder, as I was a big fan: R.I.P. Mark Hollis from Talk Talk Founding Member, main songwriter, and lead singer. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
michaellynn4 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I saw Keith Flint passed this morning and thought of you. Real shame.
bert425 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Mark Hollis. Keith Flint. Wtf. Mark died the other day (I posted some TalkTalk vids in his honor) Keith Flint is kind of a gut punch. . and it was (apparently) by Suicide. such a shame
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Wow. Just found this out. Jan Michael Vincent. Airwolf star Jan-Michael Vincent has died at the age of 73 after suffering a cardiac arrest. According to a death certificate first obtained by celebrity news website TMZ, the actor died on 10 February at a hospital in North Carolina, but his death has only just been brought to light. ~ 4 hours ago Sad to read.
bert425 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 R.I.P. Ranking Roger. . way, way too young and he was just diagnosed in January (Brain Tumor, and Lung Cancer. . . double whammy). [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
ImOnABoat Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 I just learnt today that Joe Pilato, best known for playing Rhodes in George A. Romero's Day of the Dead, died about a week ago at the age of 70. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
jlp94 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 ^ This one was the first one that made me cry in a LONG time and I almost never do this
bert425 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 ^ This one was the first one that made me cry in a LONG time and I almost never do this he was a wonderful, kind, man too.. always so generous with his time when I saw him in Atlanta at Dragon*con (almost every year).
bert425 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 probably won't mean a whole lot but to those of us "of a certain age" but R.I.P. Miss Doris Day https://www.apnews.com/b9a04d9ab2ce4276b2f6bdb6b39af585 she was well known for her "good girl" parts in films, her singing, and her daytime talk show. likely her most famous recording, which I grew up hearing my Mother listen to over and over. . she LOVED this song: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] although her cover of this, was a big hit too: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
Nrthwnd Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 ^ Her passion for saving animals small and big (horses) is what I remember of Doris Day, too. My fave movie of hers that I remember actually going to see a few times, was "The Glass Bottom Boat." And the ones with Rock Hudson, too. RIP Doris Day
tinaalsgirl Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Calamity Jane was always my fave of hers. Sad to have her gone, but glad she lived a good long life.
scottiemon Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Tim Conway, age 85. Us older farts will know him very well, as someone who kept us in stitches for just trying to make Harvey Korman break character. The Dentist is still, to this day, one of the funniest sketches ever. RIP
tinaalsgirl Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 You know, we've lost a lot of great people over the last year or so, but it feels so different from 2016... Probably because while we're losing legends, we're losing them to old age rather than cancer or heart attack or stroke or whatever. These older actors are people I grew up watching, so it's sad to see them go, but it's nice to know that they got to live long full lives.
CaptainUnknown Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Tardar Sauce; the cat behind the "Grumpy Cat" memes has died at age 7.
Nrthwnd Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Rutger Hauer. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." (Blade Runner)
Nrthwnd Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Valerie Harper. She of Rhoda and Mary Tyler Moore shows.
Nrthwnd Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Jessye Norman American opera singer Age 74. A wonderful artist.
Nrthwnd Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Diahann Carroll R.I.P. First African American actress to play lead in her own tv show ("Julia" 1968). Also played Norma Desmond in Canadian tour of "Sunset Boulevard". And "that part" (Desiree'?) in the tv original, DYNASTY.
cparkes92 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Before Diahann Carroll and Jessye Norman, we lost rock and roll icons Eddie Money "The Money Man" and Ric Ocasek (of the Cars). Both had quite a bit of coverage on a national level, but Money's death was breaking news in Michigan (for over 25 years, he was the opening act for each season at DTE Energy Music Theater, the primary outdoor concert venue in Michigan; also, he seemed to play in Michigan at least five times every year (and probably more some years)) TL: DR, Eddie Money was to Michigan as David Hasselhoff was to Germany (in the late 1980s/early 1990s)
