He basically had this low-budget infomercial, broadcasting from a small town near Branson, Missouri, where he sold buckets of “apocalypse food” which was not infrequently purchased by YouTubers who wanted to find out if it was any good. (Spoiler: It wasn’t.)
However, Tammy Faye’s presence would be…interesting…in today’s social climate.
Ben Sasse, whose bandwagon I jumped on in December, has announced that his medical team is shifting his treatment to aggressive chemotherapy, after an experimental drug stopped working.
Michael Flatley faked out a bunch of players a few years ago with his cancer diagnosis. Now his wife who was also his lead Riverdancer has shuffled off this mortal coil (without moving her arms).
I really admired her talent, and she was in so many memorable pictures. But did anyone see her in the odd show “A Carol For Another Christmas”? It was produced by Rod Serling, but was not a part of the Twilight Zone, although it felt like it. That show had a number of well known performers, Eva, Sterling Hayden, Peter Sellers, Robert Shaw, and quite a few others.
I’ve been playing entertainers over 90 since 2018, and Eva has been on every one of those lists. I think my reward for keeping her alive a few of those years is that I’m finally on the board this year with -2 points.
