Stan Brock, who found fame on Wild Kingdom and brought basic medical care to the isolated, dies at 82



Brock, born in England, rose to fame in the 1960s as a co-host, along with Marlin Perkins, of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. This was followed by occasional film appearances.

In 1985, he left Hollywood and established the Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps, which offers clinics in rural areas of the world, much of that in the United States. He was inspired by his childhood life in the Amazon River watershed, where medical care was weeks away. He was a vocal critic of the bureaucracy of the U.S. medical system and the barriers that state lines posed to providing medical care, especially in times of crisis.

Brock lived a meager life, residing at the RAM headquarters and living off a small portion of his Social Security check, the rest of which was donated back to RAM. RAM currently holds approximately one clinic a week somewhere in America, plus several a year around the world.

Brock died August 29 of unknown causes.

We know why he died. He was 92 years old. Damn few people are lucky enough to live that long and still be able to function. I am glad he was one of them.

With some of those wild life stunts, he was lucky he didn't meet the same demise as Steve Irwin.

I have seen this before, guess what? 2 years ago, Gene Wilder died, so somehow, some computer programs must have a problem with the dates... the BBC right now, has the death of Gene Wilder (Rest In Peace) among their current stories.

Look to their stories at the right: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-45392566

He did pass away though, on about this date, 2 years ago.

Nonetheless, RIP.

He is sort of like people that lived under communism in Eastern Europe, now free.


In both cases, they truly appreciate what the free, open West has to offer.

Too bad much of the free, open West is throwing it away, on post-modernism, socialism, political correctness etc.

Richard DeVos Rest In Peace, I've had so many friends in Amway, I did get some of their products but never joined.  I had some of their inspirational speech cassettes. I think all of that is good, or usually good.

[excerpt]

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/burt-reynolds-dead-deliverance-boogie-nights-star-was-82-831093

 The ex-jock from Florida starred in 'Deliverance' and 'Boogie Nights' but preferred making such populist, fun fare as 'Smokey and the Bandit,' 'The Cannonball Run' and 'Starting Over.'

Burt Reynolds, the charismatic star of such films as Deliverance, The Longest Yard and Smokey and the Bandit who set out to have as much fun as possible on and off the screen — and wildly succeeded — has died. He was 82.

Reynolds, who received an Oscar nomination when he portrayed porn director Jack Horner in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights (1997) and was the No. 1 box-office attraction for a five-year stretch starting in the late 1970s, died Thursday morning at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida, his manager, Erik Kritzer, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Rest in Peace, Burt Reynolds.  Deliverance was a great film, but I guess my favorites will always be the Smokey and the Bandit films.

Along with the Snowman, Jerry Reed, East bound and down.

! No longer available

I really like Deliverance, I watched a few pieces at youtube where a lot of the locals object to that movie on how it depicts them.  Great movie but I take that into account when I watch it.

Thanks @TomSea

Jerry Reed, Jackie Gleason, and now Burt Reynolds are all gone.  Those were fun movies, but I'm sure they wouldn't be made today.  Someone would be offended -- not PC enough.  I guess too many people lost their sense of humor.
