Yep, looks legit.

I'm wondering if any of the players in my work game will take this bait and play Mr D as their Wildcard..

Sad news YoungWillz.  I remember him most from Hannibal Brooks (yes the one with Oliver Reed and the elephant!) and Scrooged which I will be watching again this year.

Yes sad - I've had to scroll down his films to find where I remember him from - Roxanne, although I've seen Bonnie and Clyde so will remember him from that too.

Trivia corner - Michael J. Fox added the 'J' to his name as a tribute to Pollard.

For me, it's his guest appearance on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show.

Shelley Morrison, an actress with a 50-year career who was best known for playing a memorable maid on “Will and Grace,” has died.

Publicist Lori DeWaal says Morrison died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles from heart failure. She was 83.

Morrison played Rosario Salazar, a maid from El Salvador, in the original run of “Will and Grace” from 1999 to 2006, becoming part of a cast that won a Screen Actors Guild award for best ensemble in a comedy series.

Can you link the page? 

 

BTW actress Doris Merrick has died at 100 according to edits (which seem genuine) on her Wiki page.

Surprised she didn't get an increase in DDP attention after not being part of the Will and Grace revival.

A few passings I haven't seen covered on here whose announcement was some time after their death:

 

Dianne Foster died in August - http://westernboothill.blogspot.com/2019/12/rip-dianne-foster.html  

I remember her best from her very good performance in Night Passage but her roles were quite varied and extensive - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianne_Foster

 

Jim McMullan. also in many a Western, also died in the Summer - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jim-mcmullan-dead-actor-dallas-downhill-racer-was-82-1216178
