Big star, didn't know her work though much beyond Three's Company.

Always came across like she had a good heart and a decent person. And while yes she was smokin' hot even in her later years, she had an abundance of energy, charisma, and personality that really made her attractive. RIP ma'am.

Um, we women were.  happy77
Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river
Guaranteed you'll never be the same
There's a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
Let that river of life wash it all away

Country musician Buck Trent dies at 85
You likely recognize Trent from appearing on countless country variety shows in the late 20th century, including a long run on Hee Haw.

Somers' husband of 46 years, Alan Hamel, is 87. He did some work in Canadian TV, but I mainly remember him from his 1970s TV ads for the Alpha Beta chain of grocery stores. 46 years is a good run.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Burt Young, ‘Rocky’ star, dead at 83

By Erin Keller and Michael Blinn
Published Oct. 18, 2023

Burt Young, the actor best known for his Oscar-nominated performance as Sylvester Stallone’s sidekick in “Rocky,” has reportedly died.

He was 83.

His death was confirmed Wednesday by his daughter, Anne Morea Steingieser, according to The New York Times.

The Post has contacted a rep for Young for comment.

Young’s breakout role as Paulie Pennino in “Rocky” — playing the titular boxer’s best friend and brother of his love interest — came as one of the movie’s more veteran actors at the time.

World's oldest dog ever dies - as owner reveals secret to his long life


Quote

The world's oldest dog has died at the age of 31.

Born on 11 May 1992, Bobi was recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest dog ever in February.

The purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo broke a record held by Australian cattle-dog Bluey, who died at 29 years and five months in 1939.

If you know. You Know.  RIP

I know. She was 26 at that time, and a total smoke show.  One of the greatest minor roles in cinematic history. All she had to be was desirable, and inaccessible. The perfect nighttime angel. RIP. 
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Richard Roundtree, Suave Star of ‘Shaft,’ Dies at 81


Quote

Richard Roundtree, the ultracool actor who helped open the door to a generation of Black filmmakers and performers with his portrayal of private eye John Shaft, “the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about,” died Tuesday. He was 81.

Roundtree died at his home in Los Angeles of pancreatic cancer, his manager, Patrick McMinn, told The Hollywood Reporter.

He was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and had a double mastectomy. “Breast cancer is not gender specific,” he said four years later. “And men have this cavalier attitude about health issues. I got such positive feedback because I spoke out about it, and it’s been quite a number of years now. I’m a survivor.”

Former PIX11 journalist Arnold Diaz dies at 74



Quote
NEW YORK (PIX11) – Arnold Diaz, a former reporter for PIX11 News whose “What a Shame!” reports exposed wrongdoing by private industry and government agencies, has died at age 74.

Diaz, who was born in Brooklyn, won 48 Emmy Awards for his reporting throughout his career that spanned decades. Over the years, Diaz’s “Shame” reports led to action by law enforcement and have been cited by prosecutors as being instrumental in putting scam artists behind bars.

Diaz retired last year after being with PIX11 News since 2014. At the time, Diaz said he would miss the excitement of the job, but he wouldn’t miss the times he was “shoved, spit at and threatened with guns” over his reporting.
