Dude, spoilers please.Might want to check up on Elvis while you're at it.
Also co-inventor of the Opti-Grab.
From the moment he found Zero Mostel "incredibly guilty" in The Producers, Wolf Garber (honest) was an MVP of comedy bit play. Gorgeous turns in My Favorite Year, The Late Show, The Jerk, Serial and countless TV shows. Always cantankerously sympathetic (a tough combo), always brought it down to cases. RIP -
Awwww. Will pull out my Nick Tosches Reader later today in tribute. There's no way I'm watching that video link; would make me too sad.Nick Tosches, inimitable writer and critic dead at 69. His biographies of Jerry Lee Lewis, Dean Martin and Sonny Liston are essential.
Here's a brief video snippet of Tosches and Anthony Bourdain being crotchety and talking about the good old days. They're all gone now.
I don’t think anyone wants this guy to Rest In Peace.Al Baghadi, ISIS leader.
More like rest in pieces.I don’t think anyone wants this guy to Rest In Peace.
Awwww, maaaan. One of the rarest skills in music - the fills guy. Melodically, other than George Harrison, i can't think of one better.
The Kid is out of the picture. That kind of self-belief is rare and, much as i envy it sometimes, i'm glad that it is. Thanks, Kid, for the great art made possible by that self-belief. RIP -
One of my favorite Hollywood personalities.
Dude had 7 wives - surprised he wanted to live that long.
Maybe just waiting for the right one to come along.Dude had 7 wives - surprised he wanted to live that long.
Twenty years ago or so, he used to regularly call into a local disc-jockey and he would be on the air for two hours, answering any and all questions with braggadocio and self promotion.Leroy Hoard said:Maybe just waiting for the right one to come along.
I got to know one of em, Miss McGraw, when she moved to Santa Fe and our social Venn Diagrams slivered a little (i've told the story of our 1st meeting here before). McQueen (who she left Evans hi&dri for) was her great love but Evans was still her MVP - the one she'd call whenever - more than 20 yrs after throwing him over. Maybe it's cuz they had a kid, but that's still UnHollywoodish loyalty.zamboni said:Dude had 7 wives - surprised he wanted to live that long.
Don't know how many of you watch, "Black Jesus," but he was great on there, as was Charlie MurphyComedian and actor John Witherspoon passed this yesterday at age 77.

I'll bet that guy knew how to handle a prostate.Flamboyant Puerto Rican astrologer Walter Mercado dies at age 88. He was well-known throughout all of Latin American and among Hispanics in the USA. My ex-wife used to watch him on TV.
In 2016, he predicted total destruction of the world if Trump became president: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/election/article91718662.html
This seemed to happen a few months ago, but didn't hear about it. I really liked watching her - she was nice on the eyes even when competing.
There's a tad bit of irony with this. Still a sad situation for her friends and family.In lieu of flowers, Lee's family asks that donations be made to The Hunger Project, a non-profit that aims to end world hunger by empowering women and establishing partnerships with local governments.
Gahan Wilson gave me my first adult moment. Once i found my father's "special drawer", i rifled thru it regularly in search of new naughty mags and party records. Oh, the stolen moments of salacious surreptity but, to this day, i have never seen an image that shook my tree more than, in the second half of one of me Da's Playboys, a GW cartoon of a line of sad, fat, naked old men grimly climbing a children's slide that turned out to be a giant cheese grater. The slide was an inverted Progress of Man - the farther down, the less man there was - and, of course, a giant pile of shredded loser below. I was maybe 8yo and i knew this was hilarious but didn't know why. Stared at it over & over thru the years and am haunted by it still. Could not find the image on the innerwebs for y'all. You were grate, Mr. Wilson. RIP -Cartoonist Gahan Wilson and actor Michael J. Pollard

Gahan Wilson, B. Kliban, and Gary Larson - my top 3 cartoonists. The first one that I really remember was in a National Lampoon - "Baby Eating Through the Centuries" was a several page comic book panel spread - take off of the Jonathon Swift's a Modest Proposal.Gahan Wilson gave me my first adult moment.

The only reason Michael J Pollard was popular was that there always seemed to be a similarly inexplicable, goofy, giggleshrugging guy in every pot circle of the 60s. RIP -
