While not an entertainer - Gwen Ifill of PBS Newshour passed. One of the better journalists and reporters we have had.

A role model for girls and especially girls of color.

Sure, he's been a headliner since the 1950's.

Now maybe I can get a decent cigar.

People need not much to be entertained. Remember the pet rock, and disco.

I get nervous every time this thread has a new post.

Was not expecting Castro.

Possibly the only name posted in here that will not make most people sad.

Wow, didn't even know he was still alive. And so true, he was supposed to be the star but Bruce Lee's presence was the only reason that show became a cult favorite
