YoungWillz 21,076 Posted November 15, 2022 Obit for James B Downey, who appeared as Sam Phillips in Kate And Allie: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/ctpost/name/james-downey-obituary?id=37532256 This does not appear to be the Saturday Night Live writer, though IMDB has him listed as he and as dead. Wiki has a different guy with a different middle name and probably correctly has that guy alive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiki has a different guy with a different middle name and probably correctly has that guy alive. I notice that Wikipedia/IMDB claim SNL Downey is the half-brother of Robert Downey Sr. and uncle of Robert Downey Jr. However, this long-standing fact actually appears to have been about the James B. Downey who just died, given that it's in the obituary linked there. What a mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arrowsmith 448 Posted November 16, 2022 1 hour ago, tracy said: Robert Clary of Hogan's Heroes fame dead at 96. Obviously subjective but I think he has a decent claim to being the last survivor of a death camp to go on to become famous for a reason other than being a survivor. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilham 759 Posted November 25, 2022 On 19/10/2022 at 10:25, gcreptile said: Matthew Perry had a 2% chance to survive his burst colon at one point, according to his memoirs: https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/6477310/friends-matthew-perry-nearly-died-colon-burst-addiction/ The reason was his opioid addiction. He was in a coma for 2 weeks and wore a colostomy bag for 9 months. I finished reading Matthew Perry's book. There is also the benzos he's been taking since he was 1 month old; the cigarettes he was told would kill him by 60 if he doesn't quit now (at 53); the handle of vodka he drank daily on set. He's on suboxone for life now. All of his teeth fell out earlier this year. Drug tests have shown he's unknowingly ingested fentanyl. He has a permanent minder. I felt the book was outreach for the public to keep him away from our medicine cabinets if he stops by for an open house tour. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
