Not today. January 4th. Just didn’t make the news until today.
Yeah, talk about your Abe Vigodas!
Looks like points for @GIGObuster. Jeezums also had “Rick Harris” so that might need clarification.
The only Richard Harris I’d heard of was the guy whose cake was left out in the rain, but he died in 2002.
I think of Richard HarriSON who was in Blood Debts, the movie with the best ending of all time.
There’s a TV lawyer in Las Vegas named Richard Harris.
That’s the Rick Harris I had on my list. Thanks!
Charles Person, youngest of the Freedom Riders, dies at 82
Charles Person, the youngest of the 13 original Freedom Riders, who were battered, bloodied and nearly killed as they traveled across the South in 1961, helping the civil rights movement gain momentum as they protested segregation on interstate bus lines, died Jan. 8 at his home in Fayetteville, Georgia. He was 82.

Still tied for 4th! 
I did not see that coming.
That would definitely need some context in order to understand why it wasn’t just another so-so ending to another so-so action flick.
When it comes to endings, I’d go with Casablanca any day.
I don’t watch that movie just for Bogart, I adore Claude Rains and watch any movie he was in. He was never typecast.
Oh, it was Lazlo Lowenstein who made that movie work. And also, Madeleine Lebeau.
It’s hard to compare movies, apples and oranges you know, but the scened where Victor has the band play La Marseillaise is arguably the best scene in film.
That is where you see Madeleine’s face wet with tears. She was actually a French ex-pat, so that song meant a lot to her.
About ten years ago I was a venireman in a trial where Sam Moore was suing his music publisher. When the judge was talking about the plaintiffs, defendants, and possible witnesses by name and whether we knew them he got to, “Sam Moore, half of the duo Sam and Dave, who put out ‘Soul Man,’ ‘Hold on I’m Coming,’ and other R&B hits,” I was the only one who raised my hand.
After lunch when we were kind of gathered in the hall waiting to be let in I commented, “How fleeting fame is.”
He gave a wry look and said, “It’s what happens when you get older.”
I was not seated on the jury for which I was thankful. The case looked complicated.
He never made waffles.
