"Ventura’s death comes on the same day former Indians infielder Andy Marte was killed in a car crash in the Dominican. The accidents are unrelated. "

Lee O'Denat, founder of WorldStarHipHop, dies at 43

O'Denat, better known by his single-letter mononym "Q," founded the black-oriented video site WorldStarHipHop. The site is notorious for its collection of hip-hop videos, softcore erotica, street fights and general misbehavior too risqué for most other video services.

O'Denat is believed to have died of a heart attack.

Mary Tyler Moore In Grave Condition

  1/25/2017 10:02 AM PST

EXCLUSIVE


Sources close to the family tell us her condition is so grim family members are coming to the hospital to say goodbye. The TV icon's long battled diabetes, and she underwent brain surgery in 2011.

One source tells us Mary has been on a respirator for more than a week.

We're told Moore is suffering from a number of health problems and recently it has become critical.

Mary starred in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and had an incredible run with "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

She and Elisabeth Montgomery were my 1st crushes of the wholesome, girl next door types. 
I hope she had a good life.

Quote
TV icon Mary Tyler Moore died on Wednesday after being hospitalized in Connecticut, her rep confirmed to The Huffington Post. She was 80.

“Today, beloved icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert Levine. A groundbreaking actress, producer, and passionate advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile,” her rep Mara Buxbaum told The Huffington Post in a statement.

Moore, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1936 and grew up in Los Angeles, rose to international fame starring on the 1960s sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” She later starred on the beloved 1970s sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which is considered to be the first show with a never-married, working woman as its central character. Moore played single, 30-year-old TV news producer Mary Richards.

A remarkable woman and a great actress.  Although she was known for two sitcoms, my favorite performance was as the mother in Ordinary People.  She showed she really could do drama. 

Rest in peace, MTM.

And, dammit, RIP Mary Tyler Moore . . .

Mary Tyler Moore Dies at 80

The classic showdown with Carl Reiner's Alan Brady:

The Dick Van Dyke Show, from "Coast to Coast Big Mouth"

. . . and, the classic debut of her own show:

The Mary Tyler Moore Show, "Love is All Around" (or, "You got spunk! I hate spunk!")

With her health issues she's lucky to have made it to 80.

I guess there's just Dick van Dyke now.

Your right, she's 93. From the sound of her voice I would've thought she was/is a heavy smoker.
