Reported dead a minute after the "he's recovering" post. That's Abe Vigoda on steroids!

The fuss about which of McQueen and Newman received top billing was far more fun than the film. William Holden also tried it on, but got told in no uncertain terms....

Ha ha - not! As he is the new rising star of deadpooling, I can dig my Cup-grave now

They could all go into the Hollywood possibilities thread.

Watched Towering Inferno on Saturday night. Some good picks there including FD.

So many questions. 'Vagina candle' sold by Gwyneth Paltrow explodes, torches living room of UK woman (msn.com)

My dad has the same birthday as Larry King.He is 83 with severe emphysema. He cannot walk more than a few yards without gasping for breath. I am relieved to say he was given his corona vaccine yesterday. I hope it means I can spend a few more years with him, even though he can hardly leave the house anymore. I can therefore empathise with Larry's family.I hope he lasts a few more years too.

Pianist and Jazz artist Junior Mance, known for his blues stylings and made over 30 albums, died at 92 years: https://jazz.fm/junior-mance-obituary-jazz-pianist-educator/

On January 6th he held the first annual "Voices Youth Award" named in his and Gorbachev's honor. Not sure if he was present (if, then online of course) but theres a picture of him presenting the winner so its a pretty recent photo I reckon with the christmas tree and all. The whole event was overshadowed by other things I guess. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/age-passes-the-baton-to-youth-301202463.html

Sinclair Hood gives a first and unique hit for @deadsox CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Lung cancer survivor from heavy smoking with heart problems that have him in and out of the hospital. Big miss.

Where is the other half of the blame?

Who knew a place with people who have been here for years obsessing about people that could die would be so unwelcoming A new thread isn't the end of the world for this woman that I've never heard of.
