Wish I had them!

 

The harsh reality is no one is dying in this fucking October and 2021 has been delusional in general.

Statistically, this Octobre is not that bad. We could still get to about 20 hits. Rose Lee Maphis and Maire Mhac T'saoi (?) are still waiting for obits. Even the annual record is not totally out of reach.

My aunt died in this fucking October. I mean, she wasn't famous (except to me) and you didn't know her and I'm not mad or anything but you know, the "no one is dying" meme is always open to being a bit of an own goal tbh.

Played the not insignificant role of Kai Opaka in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and you know what I'm going to say - a Scavvy Hunt miss.

News to me that there was a U.S. edition of The Sun! How long has this been around for?

I was aware of Scottish, Ulster and Irish editions.

How many people who worked for the DuMont Network are still around? I have to imagine he was one of the last.

I started looking into survivors of DuMont programs a few years back, around early 2018 I think... can't mind if I still have any of my research. Definitely remember Larry Storch being one though.

I think they could put her on the main list at some point. She is an Oscar winner for an iconic film so is famous enough.

 

Her husband was notable in his own regard and got a NYT Obit.

Pretty impressive when you realize his acting career only started at age 32. Recognized his face right away. RIP
