Well if there's a Star Trek version of that, then someone else is on the chopping block. First Pevney and now Emmy-award winning composer Alexander Courage.

Wow ... Dick Martin, Sydney Pollack, and Harvey Korman all in the span of one week (along with two prominent television music composers). Tough week for Hollywood....

 

Thanks BCAlum, I was just seeing if it had been reported on the web after I had my dinner.

I'm surprised that Dom DeLuise is still alive, I thought he would have beaten Korman to it

So be it! The curse of "Star Trek" has struck again: producer Robert Justman has been beamed up.

Aye, hefty article in today's Observer on the young man. Also a lengthy article on psychotherapist RD Laing and his - often - f**ked up kids, mentioning the fact that his son Adam died recently.
