Actress Glynis Johns - Mrs Banks in Disney's classic Mary Poppins - dies aged 100: Tributes are paid to star of stage and screen who was 'the last of Old Hollywood'
British actress was born in South Africa and died at an assisted living home in LA
By Elena Salvoni
Daily Mail
Published: 15:30 EST, 4 January 2024 | Updated: 17:19 EST, 4 January 2024
Quote
... On stage, Johns played Desiree Armfeldt in A Little Night Music, introducing the world to the bittersweet standard-to-be 'Send in the Clowns' by Stephen Sondheim.

Johns gained a reputation throughout her decades-long career for being a perfectionist and prided herself on always opting for multi-faceted roles. She has been hailed as 'legendary' and 'iconic' by fans mourning her death.

Her famous role in Mary Poppins saw her play a mother who reconnected with her children thanks to their magical nanny, played by Julie Andrews, and perform a rousing rendition of 'Sister Suffragette'. ...

Johns' greatest triumph was playing Desiree Armfeldt in 'A Little Night Music,' for which she won a Tony in 1973.

Sondheim wrote the show's hit song 'Send in the Clowns' to suit her distinctive husky voice, but she lost the part in the 1977 film version to Elizabeth Taylor. ...

'Starsky and Hutch' Star David Soul Dead at 80


Quote


David Soul, famous for playing Detective Kenneth Hutchinson on the buddy cop TV series "Starsky and Hutch," is dead ... TMZ has learned.

The actor died Thursday at a hospital in London following a long term illness ... according to a family member. We're told David was surrounded by his family when he passed.

David suffered from a number of health issues in his life ... most notably chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He blames COPD on a half-century of smoking three packs of cigarettes daily.

His wife Helen Snell said the "beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother died yesterday after a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family. He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend."

Aside from playing iconic Ken Hutchinson, he became a pretty good character actor in the 1980s when I was a teenager.  I remember him playing the commander of the Alaska National Guard against a Soviet Spetznaz team in the miniseries World War III and vicious bank robber Mike PLatt in    In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders.

Didn't care much for his singing though.

Amalija Knavs, mother of former first lady Melania Trump, died at the age of 78, the former first lady announced on social media Tuesday. "It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija," Trump wrote in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter.

MELANIA TRUMP
@MELANIATRUMP
It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija.

Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.  She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.

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.

You're everywhere I go, I am not alone
You call me as Your own to know You and be known.
You are holy!
And I fall down on my knees.
I can feel Your presence here with me.
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty,
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch.
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love.

Joyce Randolph, who starred in the 1955 sitcom “The Honeymooners,” has died. She was 99.

Randolph reportedly died peacefully Saturday in her sleep in her New York City home due to the effects of old age, her son told TMZ.

According to the outlet, the last surviving member of the hit television show had been in hospice care at the time of her death and was unable to walk.

The Michigan native, who was born in 1924, got her acting start when she moved to New York City in 1950 to star in a Broadway show called “Ladies Night in a Turkish Bath” before moving into TV.

Dexter Scott King, son of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., dies of cancer at 62

By The Associated Press (via NBC Boston)   • Published 14 mins ago   • Updated 10 mins ago   

Dexter Scott King, the younger son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, died Monday after battling prostate cancer.

The King Center in Atlanta, which Dexter King served as chairman, said the 62-year-old son of the civil rights icon died at his home in Malibu, Calif. His wife, Leah Weber King, said in a statement that he died “peacefully in his sleep.”

The third of the Kings' four children, Dexter King was named for the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., where his father first served as a pastor. He was just 7 years old when his father was assassinated in 1968.

As an adult, Dexter King became an attorney and focused on shepherding his father’s legacy and protecting the King family’s intellectual property. In addition to serving as chairman of the King Center, he was also president of the King estate. ...

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.

This was hilarious. I'm sorry I didn't discover it before now. Thanks for the video, @jmyrlefuller. Prayers for his loved ones.

P.S. I hadn't seen nor thought about Giff Nielson for years. I wasn't even sure that he was still alive. For anyone interested, he is.

Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojević died Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack, according to the team. He was 46.

Milojević was hired by the Warriors in 2021 and was in his third season as part of head coach Steve Kerr’s coaching staff.

The Warriors said Milojević suffered the heart attack at a private team dinner on Tuesday night in Salt Lake City. He was then transported to a local hospital but passed away Wednesday “despite life-saving efforts,” according to the team.  ...

Norman Jewison, ‘Moonstruck’ and ‘In the Heat of the Night’ Director, Dies at 97



Quote

Oscar-nominated film director and producer Norman Jewison, who steered the 1967 racial drama “In the Heat of the Night” to a best picture Oscar and also helmed such popular films as “Moonstruck,” “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming” and “The Thomas Crown Affair,” as well as film musicals “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Jesus Christ Superstar,” died Saturday at his Los Angeles residence. He was 97.

His film career began with fluffy Doris Day comedies like “The Thrill of It All.” But Jewison’s social conscience began to surface with “In the Heat of the Night” and, later, the labor union drama “F.I.S.T.” and other films focusing on racial tensions such as “A Soldier’s Story” and “The Landlord” (the latter of which he only produced), though he never abandoned comedies and romances.

@Smokin Joe

No, backup quarterback to Dan Pastorini and Kenny Stabler for the Houston Oilers. Timeframe: late 70s early 80s.

Now I'm going to go listen to "Coconut" because it's fun to sing along with.   :cool:
