Speaking of heading for the grave, every time I see Gloria nowadays doing one of her commercials I think of that kid from Caddyshack asking “Hey, are you going to eat that fat?”
Oh jeez, I just watched the All In The Family E! True Hollywood Story this weekend, and thought it odd that they never mentioned her demise.
Jeez, I wonder how often people tell her this…
Franco is still dead.
Jean Stapleton? Isn’t that the columnist for the Onion? Works at Fashion Bug? Refers to her readers as Jean-keteers? Has arguably the most empty and pathetic life imaginable? (not counting mine, of course)
Nope, just checked, and that’s Jean Teasdale. Mea culpa.
I was surprised to learn Andre Norton and Leni Riefenstahl are both still alive.

And they’re currently working together. Riefenstahl is directing a $140 million dollar film version of Witch World with Fay Wray in her first feature film role in 43 years.
This has become a running joke with my friends every time we see Abe Vigoda in a new film. He looked so old as Fish and in The Godfather that we just kind of assumed.
–sublight.
Good lord, I just found out director Billy Wilder is still alive! He’s even older than Fay Wray!
Well, happy 95th, Billy.
And guess what? Billy Wilder has replaced Leni Riefenstahl as director of the movie Witch World! Apparently the producer decided that the 99-year-old Riefenstahl was giving too old-fashioned a look to the film, so he replaced her with the younger, zippier Billy Wilder, who’s only 95.
Jean Stapleton is currently playing Elenor Roosevelt in the play Elenor.
John Amos, who played the father on Good Times, is currently playing the role of the mayor in the tv series “The District”
I just found out tonight that the Waitresses lead singer,
Patti Donahue, has been dead for about 5 years. I had no
idea - I had to bury her, mentally, in a hurry.
