I guess he got tired of trying harder.
Monster Mash singer Bobby “Boris” Pickett dead at 69.
Word on the street is that he will be a graveyard smash.
It appears that Jack Valenti’s curtain has come down
“The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman alone.” -Jack Valenti
No points for me.
Ouch. That Hertz.
I think I had his brother. Maury Povich.
Robert Rosenthal, WWII flying hero and a Nuremburg prosecutor, dead at age 89.
It’s almost impossible to read a WWII AAF European history and not come across one account or another of his exploits. B-17 pilot, survivor of 52 missions and shot down twice over enemy territory, he was the best of the best.
I never met him, but I’ve read so much about him that I am a little teary-eyed to learn this, which hasn’t happened for any other person listed this year.
Tommy Newsom of the Carson era Tonight Show
Abu Ayyub Al Masri death has not been confirmed by any Big Wig, but I am holding onto hope that I have finally scored and lost my cherry.
Character actor Dabbs Greer, possibly best known for playing Reverend Alden on Little House on the Prairie, has died at age 90, which means I’m finally on the board.
Comic actor Tom Poston, dead at 85.
My immediate reaction was “Mr. C!” Then I realized it wasn’t Tom Bosey. I always got those two mixed up (their names, not their faces).
For the first time this year, I think, I am truly sad. I really, really liked Tom Poston. Sniff Goodbye George Utley. Sniff
Just my luck. Poston croaks, and I picked his wife Suzanne Pleshette. :mad:
Yeah, me too. This is definitely not my year.
Heck with this. I have started work on the 2008 list.
I really thought I had a good list too.
A little late to the game, aren’t you? I started mine at 00:00:01 Jan 1 2007…
