I’m just thankful to be keeping most of the nationally-treasured MASH cast and crew alive.
Thanks for nothing, Ferret Face!
She is not on my sitcom actor list, but nonetheless I will place her article here. Angela Thorne, actress known best from To The Manor Born, has died aged 84.
Well s(&#. There goes my themed list for next year: Deep Sea Exploration Billionaires.
“WASHINGTON—Analyzing the mistakes OceanGate made that led to the vessel’s disappearance, critics told reporters Thursday that the submersible should have been tested with poorer passengers first. “The company skipped the very crucial step of sending five lower-class people to the bottom of the ocean to make sure it was safe enough for the wealthy,” said Otto Scofield, a member of the Marine Technology Society, adding that no one with a net worth above $50,000 should have been in the submersible. “OceanGate made the mistake of not using minimum wage workers and unemployed people on government welfare programs to test the seaworthiness of the craft, which was not billionaire-ready. Running more trials with some homeless people would have made all the difference, and the deaths of several wealthy people could have been prevented.” Scofield continued that using children of color from impoverished families would have been ideal as more would have been able to fit inside the submersible.” - The Onion
Alan Arkin, Dead at 11 Points, welcome to the board, Catamount

I had him on my 2021 themed list. But he didn’t make the cut for this year’s Sex Symbols from the 50’s and 60’s theme.
I used to have a double-initials themed list, but he wasn’t on that either.
So, in essence, you killed him.

Thanks for the points, Mr. Arkin. I’ll always remember you for People Soup.
Hey, if he had been sexier he’d still be alive.
Tony Bennett gives me my 2nd pick on my themed list this year, and four more points.

Was she the sister of Geraldine?
Yes she was. Apparently Oona had 8 children by him. He was 55 when Geraldine was born, a year after he married Oona.
I knew that eventually one Russian invading bastard in my list would get it.
38 points if confirmed. Although the latest is that the Wagner Group in their Telegram reported that he is indeed dead.
Me too, me too!

I am reading that his second in command Dmitry Utkin was also on the plane. Looks like two for the price of one for you. Google says he was 53. Here is a link https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/prigozhin-crash-putin-russia-mutiny-1.6945996
This is like Christmas in August!
