Tonight I learned Dixie Carter died in 2010...

I think I had her in my 2011 pool. All the snickering when I drafted her makes sense now.

Would love to hear the conversation Holbrook and Twain are having right now up there.

Give Hal a lot of credit, for his sleight build and genteel manner...he played some really menacing roles.  And I think his soft approach made them even more ominous.  I think of his roles in The Firm, The Star Chamber, Capricorn One, and many others.  Never raised his voice or stood over anyone, but was the most powerfully terrifying person in the scene.

The story said that he had a lump in his neck for a while that he never got looked at because it was embarrassing. He probably should have gotten that looked at.

My late DIL delayed having her boob lump looked at, that an alternate medicine quack told her it was just a clogged milk duct.

He also played Dirty Harry's vigilante commander. 

pos rep.  I thought of four while shaving earlier and couldn't remember the fourth one to type.  Yet another great example of his quiet range.  RIP, Hal.  

He was also damn funny in a bunch of stuff as well.  

I forgot that he also was Cmdr. Rochefort in Midway opposite Henry Fonda and Charlton Heston, Deep Throat in All the President's Men, and narrated a bunch of documentaries.

Raising a Schweppes Bitter Lemon for you, Albie Duncan.

I always like Marty.  He seemed like a coach that players always really enjoyed playing for, similar to Bum Phillips.  I don't know of any coach that had worse playoff luck than Marty did.

Who had Christopher Plummer?

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/feb/05/christopher-plummer-sound-of-music-star-and-oldest-actor-to-win-an-oscar-dies-aged-91


Christopher Plummer, Sound of Music star and oldest actor to win an Oscar, dies aged 91

DAMMIT.  

I always thought it was amazingly cool that both he and Julie Andrews were in a movie made 55 years ago, and they both were over 30 when they made the movie.

yet they both were still acting and performing as recently as last year ( knives out, and Julie did a lot of voice work)    

 

RIP Christopher.

I always enjoyed his Killian's Red commercial back in the 80's.  Total different.

 

Rumor is he had balls as big as church bells. RIP to a great actor.

The Silent Partner was a good flick he was in, need to watch that one again sometime. 

Allan Burns passed away under the radar, but he was huge. Credited with collaboration on the creation and writing of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, George of the Jungle, The Munsters, My Mother the Car, Get Smart, Room 222, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and may others. He also created the Cap'n Crunch character for Quaker Oats. 

I hope he had his hat with him.  RIP, Jr.  You and Daddy enjoy that Diablo burger at the big diner in the sky.

Marv Levy on line 1.

Marty was a good coach if not a bit of a cliched one...  " There's a gleam", soundbite from one of his pregame talks seen on NFL films.  It always cracked me up. 

I've been reading a good bit of Hunter S. Thompson lately and one of his stories was on Ali. Hunter and Ali spent a good bit of time together working on the interview/story and Ali had high praise for Spinks. Leon was an unstoppable force. His relentless attacking style was just too much the first time they met. Ali's rope=a-dope wasn't tiring Leon out and Ali admitted that he himself was not in good condition for the fight and had underestimated Spinks.

Helluva boxer in his day and I'm not aware of any negative stories on his character. RIP Champ. 

Nobody would have picked him, but as a lifetime lover of baseball it hurts that Pedro Gomez passed away suddenly today at the age of 58.

Seemed like a really good dude. Fuck.

We are shocked and saddened by the passing of national baseball reporter Pedro Gomez. He was 58.

Complete kick in the gut.

Yeah, that one came out of left field.  RIP to a terrific reporter. 

Met this guy many times. Huge military supporter and came to the base often to speak to us.

Anybody have Larry King?

 

Larry King only left a $2m estate? I didn’t think he was worth $100m but only 2 for a long lifetime of work in entertainment and news? I guess divorces really take a lot of the money.  But then again what’s the point of dying with $100m in the bank.

He fucked Greg Hill’s girlfriend. Gotta love him for that if nothing else

Remember, you never want to be the richest guy in the cemetery....

From the wtf took you so long dept

More than two years after his death in 2018, Burt Reynolds has been laid to rest.

The iconic actor died at 82 on Sept. 6, 2018, after facing health issues for several years. He was finally buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Thursday in a private ceremony, the Associated Press reported. Reynolds' family members reportedly participated via Zoom.

I guess his ashes got carried around Stanley Cup style for two years?

Wondering if this is gonna be CTE related. By every indication he was an incredible dude...I read that his family reported him missing, found him alive in that hotel, and then he was dead in that hotel a day or two later. Just too weird not to be CTE IMO.
