I didn't remember this but when he was in Roots as the older Kunta Kinte, he(KK) was married to a woman - Bell Reynolds - played by Madge Sinclair (Queen Aoleon in CtoA). Anyways... Bummer.

October 1, 20241 yr Why is it being reported today that he died 5 weeks ago? I keep seeing in the reports that he died August 21st.
October 1, 20241 yr Big fan of this movie as a kid. It would pop up every now and then on a Saturday.
October 1, 20241 yr Out and about today, and on the evening drive on the way home they were going thru recent passings to include Rose, Mutumbo, and then Amos. I knew about the former and not Amos, so that was news to me. However, the radio host recounted how the death of Amos's character on Good Times meant a lot to him when growing up (and apparently, other African American families at the time). Good Times predates me, and I'd always assumed it was just sort of a goofy comedy of the day, and did not know that it was really kind of serious and got sort of hijacked by the dynomite antics. The host indicated that the reason it resonated with him (and I presume others), is that he was a hard working man trying to make it and finally had or was going to only to be taken too soon, something all too familiar for that community. I honestly had no idea about any of this and thought it was interesting. I only recall Amos from Roots and Coming to America, and other supporting roles. He was a great talent.

October 9, 20241 yr Did all of yall die along with Luis Tiant? I heard about this while traveling 8 hours ago! https://www.mlb.com/news/luis-tiant-dies
October 16, 20241 yr It seems unlikely one would intentionally take a dive from just three stories, so I’m assuming an accident. If so, that really sucks for him. He was pretty legendary for pulling Cheryl Cole, the much older yet still hot X Factor judge. Update: Quote Police were called to an "an aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol", before they arrived and found Payne dead, another report claims. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/31119910/liam-payne-dead-one-direction/ Edited October 16, 20241 yr by Vito Andolini

October 17, 20241 yr Many years ago I had a sales meeting at a DFW Embassy Suites and a guy that claimed to be the heir to the Strohs Beer fortune was staying there getting hammered every night according to the hotel staff.
