Just read where Nancy Reagan had passed away. She was probably my favorite First Lady, just as her husband was my favorite President.

Natalie Cole Died
The daughter of music icon Nat (King) Cole scored a huge 1991 hit with “Unforgettable” — a virtual duet with her late father. Natalie was just 15 when her father died in 1965, a decade before his daughter launched her own solo recording career.
I loved that duet she sang with her father.

Have y'all heard that our favorite actress Maureen O'Hara just passed away at the age of 95. Sure did hate to read that today.

My grandmother was born and grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, James Garner's hometown. She said he used to come to their house on Halloween for "Trick or Treat" back in the Nineteen Thirties.

For us movie lovers, this is a good reference for when our favorites died.

I used to really like this TV series with Dennis. I've also seen him in various roles since he first got started as an actor that I liked.

I think my favorite George Jones song was "White Lightnin''"

Yeah, me too. I even had records (remember them) of his routines. The funniest man that ever was. His visits with Carson on the Tonight Show made me lose sleep on school nights. It was worth it.
We deal in lead, friend.
I think I may even still have at least one of his Maude Frickert records. I know I bought a couple of them when he was so popular. -
Jonathan Winters has died....

Hi
Like many other people you either loved and respected her or hated her particularlily if you lived in the North of England. I suspect few will really mourn her. I remember the Falklands and the build up, whatever else she did she was on hand at a time when she was needed and put Britain back on the map at a time when the country was becoming a laughing stock. She may have been charged with closing the mining industry by taking on an defeateing the National Union of Mineworkers but they had to be destroyed if the country was not going to be controlled by anarchists.
I am not a fan butshe may have considered at her fall from grace that she was bigger than anybody else and for that reason she had to go.
Regards
Arthur
Guess what, Art? I didn't live in the North of England.

the reaction to her death has been disgusting, if not unexpected
And from the usual left-wing suspects. Naturally. -
Wish every one of the world's politicians were as principled. We're gonna miss you, Lady Thatcher. -
Margaret Thatcher died.

Mrs. Thatcher was, next to former PM Churchill, my all-time favorite Brit. RIP Margaret. -
To me Larry Hagman was an icon of television history! - Maybe I was not the real Dallas-fan, but like many, many other people in Austria I watched most of the episodes of Dallas as it was on air for the first time. As the Austrian TV-station started airing the Denver Clan, it never could beat Dallas! And I still remember the Dallas episodes that were filmed in my hometown Vienna...
I was (and still I am) a great fan of I dream of Jeannie! The show was on air in Austria in the early seventies as American astronauts flew to the moon. Everyone was crazy for rockets and astronauts at that time and the show was part of our culture. I never missed an episode of I dream of Jeannie as a child, and now I own the whole series on DVD. After having a bad day it is still a lot of fun to watch Major Nelson and his Jeannie, and sometimes I wish I could have a Jeannie in a bottle too!
Thank You, Larry Hagman, for all the fun You brought to our lifes! I never will forget Tony Nelson and his Jeannie...
Like you, "I Dream of Jeannie" was my favorite TV show with Larry Hagman. And like you again, I'd like to have had my own Jeannie in a bottle. She was definitely a sweetheart. -
I think my favorite movie role for Mr. Falk was this. But naturally, he never achieved the heights in Hollywood until his "Columbo" role. RIP, Peter.

Hard to believe old Matt is on Boot Hill now. Wonder whatever happened to Miss Kitty?

Of course I ain't nothing but a young whippersnapper
Yeah but you're a GOOD young whippersnapper because you're a Duke fan. -
One of the first 45's I bought
was the John Barry 7, playing 'Hit and Miss'
Speaking of 45s, Keith, I was browsing through an antique store today (a favorite activity) and lo and behold, there was a Wurlitzer juke box in pretty good shape. If I remember correctly, the price tag on it was either 23 hundred or possibly 32 hundred. Wish I had that much extra cash. -
British actress Susannah York best know for They Shoot Horses Don't They and A Man For All Seasons has died.

I really liked her in "The Battle of Britain". RIP, Miss York. -
Jim, I'm torn with grief over the news of your brother's passing. As a former GI who also served in 'Nam, I feel a special bond with my brothers-in-arms who served there. May the Good Lord bless and keep him.
