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.

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

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted July 15 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

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted July 17 Does anyone know whether Larry Manetti was born in 1947 or 1943? Most sources say 1947, and Larry himself remarked he must have been six or seven when he did an audition for The Harder They Fall (1955). However, according to the California, Marriage Index, 1960-1985, Larry was 36 years old when he married in February 1980. Had a stroke circa 2016 and is wheelchair bound, a good one to consider going forwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's getting good reviews. Just come back from this, lovely little film, solid 8/10. Bunny Levine, who is also in the movie, really looks her age though (95). She's got that sort of old person look where you can no longer tell what race they are, they're just "old". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
