It sounds like the publicist phoned that one journalist personally and nobody else so other than that channel’s sister stations everyone else is picking it up slowly when they notice it rather than it being on a news wire. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not off the top of my head, but Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams only have a few years to go before surpassing that with Dominique Dunne and then a few more years after that before they do a double with Heather O'Rourke. Johns played Diane Chambers mother in an episode of Cheers so that's two cheers characters who have lost an on-screen parent in just over a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least she was rightfully put on the DL just in time though. Brilliant actress though absolutely should have been a Dame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helen Worth from Coronation Street has survived one of the babies, Leah King, who played her on screen daughter Sarah and who died from Cot Death 36 years ago. Helen Worth could well live another decade or more to reach and surpass 46 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
