Clarification requested: What about what on Tom Hank’s wife?
As that great philosopher Meat Loaf sang: I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).
Might have missed this earlier, but everything I hear about Hulk Hogan says he’s a great guy, loves his fans, does charity work, only punches out VERY obnoxious people. 
Except for that whole racist thing…
^ Holy socks! I’m speechless, I am without speech! :eek:
John Ritter. I’ve never heard anyone who ever worked with him or sat next to him on a plane or whatever have a negative thing to say about him.
Wow, did not know that, but it seems like despite this period he is still pretty much liked and likable. They are still married too despite this and have been so since 1981 so I guess if she could forgive her, we can to.
Traynor Ora Halftown is the nicest celebrity of all time and beloved by all that knew him. Though not nationally known (Philadelphia metropolitan area only) I’m submitting Chief Halftown, because what he lacks in demographic square mileage, he makes up for in sheer longevity. He hosted the longest running local children’s TV show in the world—50 years (Sesame Street has not yet surpassed it). The Delaware Valley is a big market and he ruled it with kindness for decades.
He was truly a class act: an excellent educator, exceedingly charitable, exceptionally good natured, talented and funny. Generations of Philadelphians grew up on and loved the Chief (including me) and he still lives in our hearts. If you didn’t like Chief Halftown, you’re a sociopath and a jackass.
And don’t mess my gal Sal, either. Sally Starr—Philadelphia’s beloved cowgirl.
The Chief, Sally, Gene London, Dr. Shock, Bertie the Bunyip, Pixanne, Captain Noah—it doesn’t get better than that. All beloved; all charitable; all good people.
If any of you claim your city had a better variety of kid TV show hosts than Philadelphia, I’m going to punch you in the nose.
Bring it! Los Angeles had Sheriff John! And Engineer Bill!
Hell, Sally Starr would shoot Sheriff John right between the eyes with her six-shooter and Chief Halftown would scalp Engineer Bill. And Wee Willy Webber would kick them both in the nuts.
Speaking of people who cheated on their wife…
In sports, either Ernie Banks was the nicest guy ever or the Chicago media conspired to make him seem so,
LOL!
The general impression I get of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in his public appearances, is that he is a genial, easygoing kind ofguy.
Felicia Day is pretty enough, but I don’t know if she’s mind-bogglingly attractive. I would say by Hollywood standards, she verges on Hollywood ugly … by which I mean, she is pretty, but not gorgeous, by ordinary standards. But she does project an aura of definite niceness and down-to-earthness combined with intelligence, which I think would account for her rep.
Dawn Wells
David Tennant’s ranged from “pretty good” to “stellar” in everything I’ve ever seen him in. Peter Capaldi, much the same, all the way up to his first season as the Doctor; I didn’t much like it. But he’s off to a heckuva start on his second season, so maybe we’ll get lucky.
As far as “their entertainment value,” I’ve heard Bill Cosby and Milton Berle described this way, although Bill’s … um … female troubles, and Miltie’s backstage behavior certainly put the lie to it IRL…
Among superstar athletes, I’ve never heard a bad word about Bobby Orr.
You’re right, and I hope Ernie was as nice as he was reputed to be.
But Walter Payton had a dark side the Chicago media never told us about. So, how do any of us know?
My wife says that at an event at Stephens College in Missouri (where Dawn went for a time) Dawn was an unbridled bitch to all the students.
Sorry to knock her off the list.
Never heard a bad word about Bon Scott, or the Young brothers for that matter.
Ozzy Osbourne has had his moments, but everyone seems to forgive him.
I’ve also read that Moe Howard was considered one of the nicest, most gentle people in Hollywood, the polar opposite of his screen persona.
Depends what you mean by “bad word.” Bon was easy to like, but he was a raging alcoholic and an utter train wreck. Many people mourned for him but nobody was surprised by how he died.
To use another example… “Everybody” seemed to love John Bonham, but every anecdote his friends tell involves Bonham getting drunk and peeing or pooping publicly. He was a disgusting individual, but was almost universally beloved anyway.
