Richard Simmons was just taken to the Hospital for "Bizarre Behavior" Could it be a UTI? Who knows?

Garrison Keillor, long time host of The Prairie home Companion on the PBS Radio network, had a seizure last weekend, but then did two shows, after which he went to the Mayo Clinic and discovered a previous stroke close to the language centor of his brain- he is planning on working until he retires in July- he might be a good bet for 2017: http://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/06/02/garrison-keillor-suffers-brain-seizure

Here's the scene- many of the actors were actual people who had fled Europe from the Nazis- they really meant it when they were singing that song- Madeleine Lebeau shouts "Vive La France" at the end- the most famous scene she ever did

Madeleine Lebeau, the last surviving cast member of Casablanca, has died- her biggest moment is when she passionately cries real tears during the singing of La Marseillaise, and they shut up all of those German Officers: http://deadline.com/2016/05/madeleine-lebeau-last-surviving-casablanca-actress-dies-1201756301/

This certainly is a very bad year for aging rock stars and other popular musicians! I guess we'd better keep an eye on Tony Bennett, etc! BTW Bowie is more famous

Patty Duke, actress who won great acclaim as a youngster for her role in "The Miracle Worker", has died: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/29/entertainment/patty-duke-obit-feat/index.html?sr=fbCNN032916patty-duke-obit-feat0500PMStoryLink&linkId=22838222 I used to watch her on "The Patty Duke Show" - but she acted on many other TV roles, mother of Sean Astin- she had a colorful life-

Mother Angelica, who founded the Catholic EWTN Network in the USA, has died- appropriately on Easter!

Yup, here's an article about it: http://news.sky.com/story/1661494/magician-paul-daniels-dies-from-brain-tumour

Yeah, and he's already decomposing. And it was posted hours before you posted it. Living on this side of The Pond has it's disadvantages- one if that news reaches me quite late in the game sometimes!

Peter Maxwell-Davies, one of Britain's best composers, has died. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35802564

This really seems to be a very bad year for Rock musicians, doesn't it! Keith Emerson being the latest: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dream-theaters-jordan-rudess-remembers-keith-emerson-he-was-my-idol-20160311

Here's some more of the same stuff, but it's in the daily mail, which is a bit more reliable than some sources: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3453827/Zsa-Zsa-Gabor-s-husbandFr-d-ric-Prinz-von-Anhalt-insists-hospitalized-99-year-old-determined-reach-100th-birthday.html sounds like her blood pressure is very erratic, and they can't operate because of that- difficult to say what will happen next, but if she still has an infected feeding tube, or breathing tube, that would not be good- they seem to talk about operating in March, but i bet that will never happen

This continues to be a bad year for those in the world of Pop Music: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/prince-collaborator-vanity-dead-at-57-20160215

Aye, but that presumes 'we' outlive him. That's certainly a cheerful remark!
