Dack Rambo also spent his last few years as an outspoken Christian. I saw him on the 700 Club before he died and he didn’t blame the disease on his being gay (or was it bi?) but on his being promiscuous.

I kid you not: I was listening to Lyle Lovett singing the song “Fiona” while reading this string of posts.

While the days of impressionists are pretty much over, and I’m not a big fan of them, anyway, he was much better than the much more successful Rich Little.

Rob Morrow is enjoying some success with [Numb3rs](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433309/) about to enter its 5th season.

And [Barry Corbin](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0179224/) seems to keep pretty busy, although nowadays you might not recognize his gray/bald head.

Lisa Loeb had a reality show on VH1 a couple of years ago in which she was searching for love. Haven’t heard anything else about her since then.

He’s working steady. Most recently in _Kidnapped_, an excellent TV series on NBC a couple seasons ago, with Jeremy Sisto.

Tonya Harding – I watched one of her fights. She would have kicked the crap out of Paula Jones (one of Clinton’s exes) but Paula kept turning sideways to Tonya couldn’t hit her.
