Reminds me of this.
It may be old news, but it seems bizarre that:
He suffered six self inflicted wounds to his chest and heart…
That took some dedication.
Or one shotgun.
Just saw this:
I don’t know what I would think if my successors were first Eric Clapton, then Jeff Beck and finally Jimmy Page. Sounds impressive.
In the meantime The Economist reports a pointless death:
Annie Wersching of “Bosch” and “24” dies of cancer at 45.
Wednesday’s gone
Who would have predicted she would pre-decease Gomez?
I thought Tuesday Weld would’ve gone before Wednesday Addams.
That was week.
mmm
Ken Weatherwax, who played Pugsley, also -pre-deceased John Astin. As did Lennie Weinrib, who voiced Gomez in the 1973 animated series and Raul Julia, who played Gomez in the 1991 movie. Astin also played the father of Harry Anderson’s character on Night Court and outlived Anderson.
So the lesson here is you don’t mess around with John Astin.
If it takes the deaths of other actors to keep John Astin alive, I’m okay with that.
For awhile there, it looked like Tim Curry wasn’t going to make a recovery. He also played Gomez.
Skier Kyle Smaine was killed in an avalanche.
I have John Astin on my Themed Death Pool list. That should keep him alive for quite a while.
