Geoffrey Scott, Actor on ‘Dynasty’ and ‘Dark Shadows,’ Dies at 79
Dang. The one living actor from Dark Shadows not on my themed list.
Joe Altobelli dead at 88. He had limited success as a big league player but had a long coaching and managing career. He replaced Earl Weaver in 1983 and the Orioles won their last World Series. He was well liked by his players and was a local hero in Rochester New York. In his book Jim Palmer said Altobelli was “very compassionate and sensitive compared to most managers" unlike Weaver who "isn’t all that compassionate and sensitive even compared to most chain gang wardens.”
I saw some articles note that John Altobelli who was a college baseball coach who died with Kobe was not related.
Same thing happened with my themed list. Thirteen living cast members from Catch-22. And it was Bruce Kirby, one of the ones I didn’t pick, who died.
Rest in peace, Joe. And thanks for that wonderful 1983 season, after coming so close so often in the previous half-dozen seasons.

Liam?
Will his grave be dug 6" deep?
Ian. Their manager.
79 and he had ALS.
I know.
They should bury Ian with his cricket bat, not as an affectation but as a totemistic kind of thing.
Okay. I’m mature enough to admit when I get wooshed. Been a while since I’ve seen the movie.
