BrunoBrimley 86 Posted December 12, 2008 Van Johnson has gone where angels go Reaally? And where might that be? The great Battleground?=an excellent movie, do see it if you get the chance. Aside from that I was looking at the cast from the film State of The Union which starred several people and came across this picture which shows only one survivor at which point I looked at all the cast members and apparently the 83 year old Lansbury and one Pat Brady a woman in her 70s ((who hasn't been seen in film for some 50 years) are the only credited survivors still surviving. And aside from that I have made a determination to be determined to no longer wear my lovely red socks as it is time to put them away in honor of Van. And ome more aside------has anyone told Liza Minnelli yet? After all it was her film debut in The Goood Old Summertime which starred her talented mother Judy Garland and the pleasurable, treasurable Mr.Johnson. Liza is currently doing a show somewhere in the city-----I hope this won't put a damper on the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted December 18, 2008 I don't think that this obituary counts, but if a proper one emerges for U.S. football legend Sammy Baugh, OoO will never get any sleep! Nah, I'm on top of it. I've already e-mailed those who picked Baugh in 2009, prepped 2008 up just in case he does get an obit & prepared Douglas (who wasn't picked in 2009). Also, I've sorted out all 2009 entries beginning with A, B & E... although there is still a lot to do. Update to be done sometime Monday for Douglas, Baugh & anyone else who carks it inbetween. Also added The Earl of Weymss & March to the "Missed List". A DDP organiser's work is never done.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
