DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

[Diamondback]

Pity--Cannell wrote so many things that contributed to my formative years. (Let's hope he never saw the trainwreck the big screen made of his creation The A-Team...)

RIP.

 

[Hondo]

I won't be seeing the new A-Team either
Cannell wrote some of my favorite TV shows.
The endings (signature typing) were cool after credits ran, RIP

The prolifiic writer/producer Stephen J. Cannell passed away.

 

[Tomasso]

RIP Stephen

I just saw him on Castle the other night. I hadn't seen him in front of the camera in years.

I love Some Like it Hot. I can only imagine how daring the cross dressing element must have been to the mainstream of the early Fifties.

"Why would a man want to marry another man?!!"

"SECURITY!"

TC had a great life; can't say I feel sorry for him; I feel badly for his family to be sure, but he had a great run. He certainly "got some".

[Femme Fatale]

I am just broken up about Barbra Billingsley's passing. I shall wear my good pearls today in her honor.

 

[Barrelhouse]

Solomon Burke, Albertina Walker, and Mrs Cleaver all in the same week. I genuinely feel like I have lost three little pieces of my childhood. Thankfully their work remains; may they rest in the arms of the Lord.

 

[Hondo]

Take care Ward, Wally & Theodor (The beaver) Mom was so ***y and sweet.
Truly an end to an era, RIP Barbra Billingsley
You will be sadly missed...

Johnny Sheffield, who played Boy in the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies and Bomba, the Jungle Boy, died on Friday. He's not someone high on the list of actors I've admired, but I'll admit to having spent many a Saturday afternoon in my youth watching his pictures on television.

RIP
Tom Bosley.

 

[The Good]

Rest in peace, Tom Bosley. Happy Days was always a favorite sitcom of mine since childhood. I have recently been on a kick, watching episodes I haven't seen too.
