Great comedian and I'm hearing a great man as a friend.
Erin Fleming did press Groucho back into the limelight, but she was a druggie and used her association with Groucho to pal around Hollywood. She was cast for a small part in a Woody Allen film as a...
Bob Cratchet
Satan in "Time Bandits"
Fine actor
"Wally, where is your father?"
"He's out chasing Beaver."
SO few replies? She was a giant in the movies.
A genuine war hero before an actor.
Bob was a staple of the original cast, and a wonderful foil for many of the Muppet characters. A good guy, I think.
Great character actor. Wasn't he in "Kelly's Heroes"?
Polly admitted in her autobiography, she was required to provide sex for producers and admitted to at least one abortion. Very sad that women of that age, 1940's and 50's, couldn't display their...
Topol was used in the film version of "Fiddler", but never quite carried it off.
Simultaneous made me laugh and gave me the creeps.
I have never been certain about Robert Blake. We loved him in "Electraglide in Blue".
Not just a great entertainer, but a man who walked the walk. A fine leader for civil rights in both the USA and the Caribbean. God rest you, fine man.
Oddly, she was one of a very few for whom getting topless in Playboy magnified her career.
Death beats Alzheimers, hands down.
I believe I saw him in "How to Succeed in business", at the Westbury Music Fair.
Last survivor of the Ames Brothers and a tremendous voice on his own. Yes, the tomahawk incident was hysterical, particularly whenEd McMahon said, "I didn't know you were Jewish".
"Everybody to get from street!"
I remember her from the 60's. She should have stayed there.
I'm not a rap fan, but Coolio had a message to get out to young minority kids in L.A. "Gangsta's Paradise" was an effort to get young men to think about consequences of their choices. He took Weird...
I liked Robbie a great deal. Obesity and diabetes will do that to anyone. (sigh)
Brilliant song writing talent and performance ability. This is a real loss.
Agreed! Donald Trump is evil incarnate. I believe she died simply to further distance herself from the pig.
This was a great man. May God give him rest and peace.
Good riddance to bad garbage.
This is a tough one. Judith's voice became an iconic sound in folk music, internationally and especially under the southern cross.
Amazing boogie woogie pianist, but a true sleazeball in life.
Unless you grew up watching the original program in that specific time, you can never really appreciate what a great role she took on and perfected.
We all knew it was coming, just hate the arrival. What a truly gracious woman.
He really had one role which stuck to him like glue. I saw him in a revival of "How to Succeed in Business".
One of my favorite actors. Very sorry he has gone.
Shoeless Joe
Henry Hill
Meemaw's bookie.
Sadly, Fred Ward was given a really bad portrayal of Gus Grissom to play in "The Right Stuff". That's not Ward's fault, as an actor has to play what he's given in order to make a living. He was...
I wish people would leave this poor woman alone. An American tragedy, exploited in death as in life.
Wonder what she looks like today, and if Hugh Hefner is required to kiss the corpse he...
The largely overlooked Rolling Stone. Funny, I thought he had been dead and they simply propped him up on stage.
Why is this waste of cellular material even remembered, much less mourned?
The other Monkees indicated Mike was difficult to get along with and sometimes created situations which might have easily been overlooked. I think he was probably very self-focused, and let his...
He made it to Broadway, so he had to have something, right?
She was very proud of her line, "I know you do!", in answer to Anita's "I like the Island, Manhattan!". She was standout in "West Side Story", at least in my memory.
One hot ticket, right up till closing.
Fine man, great actor. Loved him in "Sneakers"
The standard for modeling our teenage lives. Good memories.
Listen to the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain do "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".
Her music never appealed to me. I always remember Don Imus speaking over the record, "I am strong, I am invincible, I am pushy!"
Go back to 1958 and he was everywhere. Great voice, well matched to his music. Run over and squashed by the Beatles, along with hundreds of others.
Thewall of sound was inspired. As a person, he took up too much air.
THis is like finding out the moon has been removed from the night sky.
Hot Rod Lincoln was a classic. We used to sing it on road trips. Goodbye, Cody!
One of the most self-centered, arrogant, egotists I've ever met.
I can't believe 40 years have passed since John's death. I am still horrified by the event. I still feel empty from the loss.
My older sister and I thought "Summer song" was a terrific hit at the beginning of the British Invasion.
