I left him off my DC theme team by accident this year, so he's a LotM. So, even if you've never heard of him, I would appreciate it if you broke down in tears sobbing over my rotten luck.

I would define only dr. Ruth, Duvall and Doherty as big names. BTW, Alf's actor died almost a month ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engle Duvall Westheimer Simmons Doherty A solid b-list run for the last few days. Alas, no one worthy of real excitement. Despite this run, a lousy year.

Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays (Orange Glo pitchman), Gale Storm and Fred Travalena all died between June 23 and 28th of that year. Same vibe of hearing one name after another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

December 2016. Richard Adams, Liz Smith, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, Debbie Reynolds, William Christopher in the span of a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 354 Posted 13 hours ago 12 hours ago, tracy said: James Sikking dead at 90. Seven of the Hill Street Blues main cast gone now, and half a dozen more in their 80s and late 70s. The youngest member is Megan Gallagher (b.1960), she could be the last survivor in a decade or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,237 Posted 11 hours ago 14 hours ago, tracy said: James Sikking dead at 90. Not familiar with a great deal of his work, but he was great as the cartoon villain Starfleet stiff in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, trying to stop Kirk taking the Enterprise. "If you do this Kirk, you'll never sit in the captain's seat again..." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
