February 2, 20214 yr Another from the "I thought he died in 2007" file Or maybe 1912 Also, did not know he was married to Dixie Carter. Niiiiiccee for an old geezer:

February 2, 20214 yr 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.
February 2, 20214 yr 18 hours ago, Hate said: 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.

February 2, 20214 yr 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.
February 2, 20214 yr 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.

February 5, 20214 yr Marty Schottenheimer is on the clock.... UGH! Very sad news.

February 5, 20214 yr 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.
February 5, 20214 yr 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

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.
February 6, 20214 yr The Silent Partner was a good flick he was in, need to watch that one again sometime.
February 6, 20214 yr 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.
February 6, 20214 yr I hope he had his hat with him. RIP, Jr. You and Daddy enjoy that Diablo burger at the big diner in the sky.

February 7, 20214 yr 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.
February 7, 20214 yr Anyone have Leon Spinks? https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/06/us/leon-spinks-dead-boxer/index.html
February 7, 20214 yr 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.
February 8, 20214 yr 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.
February 8, 20214 yr We are shocked and saddened by the passing of national baseball reporter Pedro Gomez. He was 58.

February 16, 20214 yr 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.

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.
