Very sad indeed. Think I had every album he ever made..incredible range. And he was hilarious on his TV show, and had some of the very best guests.
I had just written him hoping to get a response with some lines for My Gibbons book. He and I spent most of the time together at the opening of Jilly Rizzo's new place in the Springs. The photographer seemed to follow us everywhere we went for some reason or other. Still hope to get the archives of that company....there are lots of photos that I never bought still out there.
His Christmas shows with his family and that of the Osmonds were always favorites of mine.

He did a movie with the song "Almost There"......still love that along with so many more of his. Great loss for me and I know for lots of others. Sing on with the tall guys Andy! KP Gave him a putting lesson in Atlanta once before the Atlanta Classic Golf Tournament!

WOW! Just heard about Andy Williams. His music was timeless and I must say just wonderful. Just sad to see these people go. R.I.P. Andy. We are losing a bunch of classics.

Cheers Hondo

RIP all of them.
Especially Andy Williams such a part of all our childhoods

RIP Andy. Loved the show and I have come to truely appreciate his and the other "crooners" music as I have aged and mellowed.

Herbert Lom, star of 1962's Hammer version of The Phantom of the Opera, and The Pink Panther films, has died at 95

RIP Herbert, who made his career in the UK

I remember him most as Chief Inspector Dreyfuss, the not-so-long-suffering boss of Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) in the "Pink Panther" movies from the '70s.

EDIT: I read the link provided in the previous post AFTER I posted this initially, and the opening paragraph is nearly word for word what I wrote!!!

Maybe I was "channeling" the writer of the obit...nah!

Johnny Lewis Dead: 'Sons Of Anarchy' Actor Found Dead Outside Los Feliz Woman's Home

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops believe Johnny was on drugs-- either PCP or meth -- at the time he allegedly killed a woman and then fell to his death.

Sources tell us ... after allegedly killing the 81-year-old woman, Johnny had fought with two men for 3 to 4 minutes ... hurting at least one of them

We're told Johnny initially used a 2x4 to attack the men ... and then used his bare hands.

Law enforcement sources say the men he fought with say Johnny showed "super-human strength" and was "phenomenally strong."

We're told Johnny tried to break into the house of one of the men ... and it took 3 people to hold him back.

One source tells TMZ ... Johnny had gone to a neighbor's home to introduce himself earlier in the day.

Neighbors tell us Johnny had lived in that house before, moved away, and then came back.

Neighbors who knew Johnny say he was a "nice guy."

Another great actor and favorite of my youth is gone. Herbert Lom made a scary Ben Yousef in El Cid and a smarmy Tigranis in Spartacus, so when he slid over to comedy as CHIEF Inspector Dreyfuss in "A Shot in the Dark" and the sequels, I was floored.
His portrayal of the Phantom in Hammer's "Phantom of the Opera" is the best one since Lon Chaney, Sr.
Vaya con Dios.

Lom was always good as a dramatic actor. Then when you saw him playing against type in the Pink Panther movies and being very good at it, it was quite surprising.

Hi

Herbert Lom a very good supporting actor in many good films RIP.

Regards

Arthur

Great as Inspector Dreyfus in the "Pink Panther" movies. R.I.P. Herbert Lom.
