Sad news. Not sure of the best place for this. Do we have a M*A*S*H thread or the like somewhere?

Only just seen this because I Googled her tonight having bantered about Slap Shot (Ice Hockey black comedy starring Paul Newman) in which she has a decent cameo. She's great in Close Encounters.

Greg Cannom, the Oscar-winning makeup man of Mrs. Doubtfire/Benjamin Button/Vice fame, isn't doing too hot:

Quote

So far, over $21,000 has been raised as Cannom suffers from poor health and is no longer able to work and care for himself. According to the GoFundMe, Cannom’s health issues began with shingles, which resulted in permanent nerve damage to his lower legs, making walking difficult and painful. A Staph infection on his ankle never healed properly and spread to his foot, leading to a partial amputation.Late last year, Cannom’s health deteriorated and he remains in the hospital.

 

“The ongoing infection in his foot spread to his leg and it was amputated below the knee, on March 5. He is currently fighting off three different viruses which are wreaking havoc on his white blood cells. His body went into Septic shock, which required him to be intubated, and to receive three separate blood transfusions,” the post reads. “Greg’s diabetes is also causing his kidneys to malfunction in his current state, and a recent diagnosis of heart failure is making a positive prognosis more difficult. In addition to all of this, Greg’s vision has become very poor and he requires cataract surgery and lens replacement implants.”

Michael Lerner seems to be a pick both in the current Deaths of the Silver Screen and Scavenger Hunt pools @Bibliogryphon.

Whispers, nothing more, that Jamie Foxx 

 

But probably attention seekers. Keep your eyes on TMZ for the next 24-48 hours anyway.

Utter bullshit.

 

According to his family he almost completely recovered and is able to interact as usual.

 

Really the worst kind of attention seeking.

Sketchy "later life" section in his Wikipedia article.

He's a desperate person doing desperate things.

I listened to some of his livestreams (not attentively all the way through tho) on Facebook when doing research for my DDP 2022 team. This was because information about his health was not in print anywhere. My impression at the time was that he seemed like a chill person, but it seems that he's more sinister than I thought. Kind of reminds me of Big Ed from 90 Day Fiance now, not least due to name, physically stature and creepiness.

 

Funnily, this breaking news just made his obitability shoot through the roof. No way he won't get a QO now. A headline dream basically.

[The Daredevil 1,189]

If they both make it to 2024, Earl Holliman and Paul Dooley will appear on my 2024 shadowlist. They probably will get BBC Obits, they should qualify. Holliman played one of the sons of Katie Elder and was a leading actor on Police Woman. Dooley voiced a character in one of Disney Pixar’s most successful franchises and played Julia Roberts’ character’s father in Runaway Bride.

Very insightful and significant update.

Earl Holliman also starred in "Where Is Everybody?", the first episode of The Twilight Zone. Probably his most-seen role in the long run.
