That’s a shame. I really like Glenne Headly, although to me she’ll always be the “soap queen” from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I also enjoyed her short stint in ER as pediatric surgeon Abby Keaton. ---

Aw, that’s a bummer. She’s been in a ton of stuff I’ve watched, but I remember her most for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Lonesome Dove, and her brief stint on ER. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > Dang. I absolutely loved the original Batman series as a kid. Adam West was perfect in the role. Aye; totally iconic performance in an iconic series. And by all accounts an intelligent, decent man. RIP Batman. And in my case, this is terrible not just because we lose a good and gifted person to the ages, but also because I did not have him on my list. I fear that I am doomed to have yet another year with zero points. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > You sounded like [Rorschach](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_(comics)) just then. Years ago, two kitties adopted me. One had a loopy symmetrical black and grey pattern to his fur, so I called him [Roarschach](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_test). I guess it stands to reason I would sound like that. ---

If they ever make a bio-pic of [Roarschach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_test#/media/File:Hermann_Rorschach_c.1910.JPG), I think Brad Pitt is a cinch for the lead. ---

So far, it looks like a lot of ‘no solid confirmation’ stuff, along with the reminder that this isn’t the first time that stories have come out claiming he’s been killed.
