He's been in and out of the hospital with various age related problems. Honestly I thought that after Barbara passed, we would be soon to follow.

Ken Berry.

I remember growing up and watching Mama's family I could never get into it years later I found it on some classic tv channel. They would play two episodes a night, I use to make sure I was home to watch it Ken Berry in my book was truly one of the underated actors. Rest in peace sir

RIP.
Another actress I thought passed away too young some time ago. I hope she had a fulfilled life.

Just heard about this, she was great.

 

[olbriar]

I didn't realize she directed as well. I'm a victim of cave dwelling. She was entertaining as Laverne. RIP

 

[Unforgiven]

I didn't realize she directed as well.

That was news to me. I saw the credits for Big and A League of Their Own and was surprised to see that.

It's the end of 2017; as some call it, a dumpster-fire of a year. Though I am a few days early, here's to the first entry: the passing of 2017.

Here's to 2018, may this thread see fewer entries than its predecessor....

its hard to believe this was posted a hole year ago! Time flew buy and i can't even count how many passed along the way

@Clementine_3 thanks for that latest news! i @ws just reminiscent of this song just yesterday and was actually wondering where this band were today… . sad.

 

[Milo Willamson]

That was news to me. I saw the credits for Big and A League of Their Own and was surprised to see that.

Dorthorthy from that movie, is just a mile from my road, she is from my vinagte home town.

One of the original Mouseketeers, Dennis Day, disappeared last July, and remains were recently found on his property in Oregon, so it seems likely he’s no longer with us (for some time now).

RIP, Dennis, and thanks for all the fun and joy you brought to so many kids.

Here's a link.

Burt Reynolds.

People magazine is reporting that Mr. Reynolds has finally been interred “at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Thursday in a private ceremony, the Associated Press reported. Reynolds' family members reportedly participated via Zoom.”

No mention of *why* it took 29 months to bury him, though.

RIP, Burt.

I was wondering why a 2+ year old thread was showing up. That does seem odd, even for Hollywood.

Perhaps he was on a “farewell” tour?

 

[lunatic59]

If he was cremated, maybe it took that long for his mustache to go out. (Sorry, Burt)
