'Star Trek' Star Gary Graham Dead at 73



Quote

Gary Graham -- famous from 'Star Trek: Enterprise' -- has died ... according to his loved ones.

The veteran TV actor passed away Monday -- an announcement that was delivered by his ex-wife, Susan Lavelle, who didn't offer a cause of death or any other details about the circumstances. She did, however, have a touching remembrance for her husband.

She noted his current wife, Becky, was by his side and added -- "Gary was funny, sarcastic sense of humor but kind, fought for what he believed in, a devout Christian and was so proud of his daughter, Haylee. This was sudden so please pray for our daughter as she navigates through this thing called grief. Fly high into the heavens Gar!"

Gary is perhaps most recognizable from his time on 'STE' ... where he played Ambassador Soval from 2001 to 2005 for a total of 12 episodes. However, another major claim to fame of his came from the late '80s show 'Alien Nation' ... on which he was the co-lead.

He was fantastic in "Alien Nation" I wish that show hadn't been cancelled after one season.

Plus he was a Vulcan. Rest In Peace, Sir. I enjoyed both of your shows.

Yes, when ST: Enterprise was new, I remember recognizing the actor playing the Vulcan ambassador as the same actor from Alien Nation. I thought he did a really good job on that show.

By the way, in addition to the 22 original episodes of Alien Nation, Fox also produced five TV movies that included all of the actors from the series and continued the story of the series.  I did a search on YouTube, and there is a playlist that has the entire series and the five movies available to watch for free.

Charles Osgood, veteran CBS newsman and longtime host of "Sunday Morning," dies at 91
January 23, 2024 / 1:21 PM EST / CBS News
Quote
Award-winning journalist Charles Osgood, who anchored "CBS Sunday Morning" for 22 years and was host of the long-running radio program "The Osgood File," died Tuesday at home in New Jersey.  He was 91.

The cause of death was dementia, his family said.

Osgood, a gifted news writer, poet and author, spent 45 years at CBS News before retiring in September 2016. Osgood began anchoring "CBS Sunday Morning" in 1994. During his run on the show it reached its highest ratings levels in three decades, and three times earned the Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Morning Program. ...

Often referred to as CBS News' poet-in-residence, Osgood was called "one of the last great broadcast writers" by Charles Kuralt, whom Osgood succeeded as host of the Sunday morning magazine program in 1994. But he did more than carry on a great American oral tradition; he could also play piano, organ, banjo, violin, and was an accomplished composer and lyricist who could also sing along. He employed his many talents inside and outside CBS, sometimes performing with professional orchestras such as The New York Pops, The Boston Pops and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

"To say there's no one like Charles Osgood is an understatement," said "Sunday Morning" executive producer Rand Morrison. "He embodied the heart and soul of 'Sunday Morning.' His signature bow tie, his poetry … just his presence was special for the audience, and for those of us who worked with him. At the piano, Charlie put our lives to music. Truly, he was one of a kind – in every sense."  ...

STE is my fav (though Strange New Worlds isn't far behind) and I thought he always did great with that character. Really elevated the show IMO.

This would have made my wife very sad. She loved watching "Sunday Morning", largely because of Charles Osgood (and Charles Kuralt before him). When Osgood retired from the show she pretty much stopped watching it.

I always loved her voice, for some reason. "Sing along with me, in Austrian..." (Look What They Done to My Song Ma)
RIP Melanie, and thanks.

Carl Weathers dead: Actor who starred in Rocky movies and The Mandalorian dies at 76
By
Luke Gentile
February 2, 2024 3:05 pm



Former NFL linebacker-turned-action icon Carl Weathers died Thursday. He was 76.

The Hollywood star, perhaps best known for his portrayal of Apollo Creed in the Rocky franchise, died “peacefully” in his sleep, according to a report citing a statement released by the Weathers family.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Carl Weathers,” the statement read. “He died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, February 1st, 2024.”

“Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life. Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend.”

This is a developing story.
