Katherine Helmond, Ted Wass, Jennifer Salt, Jimmy Baio, Diana Canova and Jay Johnson all appeared in at least 60 of the show's 88 episodes and are all among the living, in addition to Mr. Crystal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted December 31, 2018 On 30/12/2018 at 07:08, MalePoster said: Max Wright from "ALF" looks like he died years ago when you google his picture Not good . A few factors at play. Wright's last TV/movie acting credit is 2005, though he's had at least one more recent theatrical credit. He's had issues with the bottle, including two arrests. Became a widower in 2017 after 52 years of marriage. As for his most famous role, both actress Anne Schedeen (who played his TV wife) and he have not-so-fond memories of the show. Her IMDB bio says the long days and difficult personalities of (unnamed) co-stars was to blame, his is nonspecific and only indicates he hated working on the set.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted April 16, 2019 Georgia Engel is dead? Georgia by far the youngest MTM star Engel? That's actually fucking crazy. Never in a million years would I have thought she'd be the next one to die! Betty White and Cloris Leachman are both ancient. Ed Asner is a fat old Jew. Valerie Harper has been outliving her lung cancer prognosis by a gazillion years and counting. And Gavin MacLeod's old and out of the spotlight. And - fuck me - you're saying that spry, young, "only" 70-year-old Georgia Engel was the first one to die out of them all? I honestly believed that the 3-decade drought between Ted Knight and Mary dying would happen again with Georgia Engel outliving the rest of em all by a few decades. Goddamn. Oh, and excuse my long rant. I'm just shocked. Georgia Engel was a great, sweet actress and she will be missed. Edit: Actually a unique DDP hit for my Z-Team, Belmont-Cragin Reaper. I didn't expect her to die (obviously) but that team is mostly comprised of celebs who I don't want to be DDP misses in the unlikely event that they die.
