Was also going to come here to post about Richard Anderson dying. So heartbroken over this. The other main fan blog I participate in is one called the Bionic Project- a fan community of those who love the Six Million Dollar Man/The Bionic Woman. I absolutely adore these shows and I love Richard not only as Oscar Goldman in those shows, but also his varied performances in a great deal of other shows and movies. He has a smallish role in one of my top 5 favorite movies (Escape from Fort Bravo) and I've seen him in a random smattering of episodes from other shows: The Big Valley ( a few times!), Columbo, *I think an episode of Murder She Wrote?*, and others.
RIP Richard Anderson. Such a gentleman. You will be sorely missed by your fans.
I know he also appeared in maybe a couple of Rifleman episodes as an old gunfighter pal of Lucas.

I remember first seeing him in Southern Comfort. He did such a good job in Deadwood, that I really hated his character. A very good actor who will be missed.
That's when I first saw Boothe. Then he was in the original Red Dawn. My favorite role of his, though, has to be that of Curley Bill Brocious in Tombstone. He looked like he was having a ball in that one.

Dick Bakalyan, Character Actor Who Appeared in ‘Chinatown,’ Dies at 84
He always played characters you loved to hate. And he was good at it. He also played Mafia assassin, John Scalisi, in The St Valentines Day Massacre.

Veteran leading man and character actor, Rod Taylor has died at 84. Man, did he ever have some great roles. I think my most favorite was in John Waynes, The Train Robbers, as Grady, always needful of something to do. Thought his line, the last one in the movie, was fantastic. When Duke takes off after the train, Ben Johnson's character says, "rob a train"? Rod Taylor looks at him and says, "something to do"!

Wow, didn't know Brenner was that old. Always liked his act, thought he was one of the funnier stand up comedians. One joke lways stands out. He says riding a bus and your sitting on a newspaper and someone asks if you're done reading it. His punchline, no, still reading it. And he would get up, turn the apaer over and sit back down on it.

I remember Edwards more from Jackpot than Name That Tune. Used to watch Jackpot all the time. Always had that huge stack of gift boxes and contestants yelling out JACKPOT, every so often. Strange that two well known game show hosts pass in one week. Hope Bob Eubanks is in good health.

Just read in my local paper that Sid Caesar has died at 91. One of the funniest ever. His Tv show, Your Show Of Shows was was one of the best ever. Good actors, good writing.
