When he was a young Boston comic, i used to kid Jay Leno that he stole his "serious" voice from Jack Burns. He didn't deny it. RIP -Jack Burns was a funny guy. Used to watch Burns & Schreiber all the time.

Burns and (George) Carlin recorded in 1960. They were 27 and 23 at the time.When he was a young Boston comic, i used to kid Jay Leno that he stole his "serious" voice from Jack Burns. He didn't deny it. RIP -
tremendous chronicle. RIP -Ivan Kral who played bass with the Patti Smith Group and collaborated with Iggy Pop on a couple of albums died at age 71.
His 1976 film The Blank Generation is a vital document of the early NYC Punk scene in spite of its crappy production values.

just caught "Paths of Glory" this past weekend on the Mobdro Kubrick stream ... R.I.P. to a certified GIANT/Legend.103 years old and one of the last of the golden age of Hollywood.
RIP Kirk Douglas
Ace in the Hole, Spartacus, Out of the Past, The Bad and the Beautiful, so many great movie.just caught "Paths of Glory" this past weekend on the Mobdro Kubrick stream ... R.I.P. to a certified GIANT/Legend.
hell yeah ... i mentioned "Paths" because it was one i had never seen - straight up nails.Ace in the Hole, Spartacus, Out of the Past, The Bad and the Beautiful, so many great movie.
wow ... god bless her!I think this makes Olivia de Havilland the last truly great star of the classic era left. Crazy to even think one of the main characters from Gone with the Wind is still alive.
Man, he was 103?103 years old and one of the last of the golden age of Hollywood.
RIP Kirk Douglas
Just to put it into perspective, the next 5 lead billed actors of Gone With the Wind and when they passed Clark Gable 1960, Vivien Leigh 1967, Leslie Howard 1943, Thomas Mitchell 1962, Hattie McDaniel 1952. Olvia still going in 2020.hell yeah ... i mentioned "Paths" because it was one i had never seen - straight up nails.
wow ... god bless her!
He’s really damn powerful in thatI was thinking about putting on Paths of Glory, but I just noticed that I have “Lust for Life” sitting on my DVR, which I have not seen. May do that as my tribute tonight.
there's a little story that Alec Baldwin recounts on "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" with Seinfeld about Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. It's really more of a Lancaster story, Is suppose, but it sticks with me. Never fails to crack me up.103 years old and one of the last of the golden age of Hollywood.
RIP Kirk Douglas
After the SOTU the other night, we were looking at the list of Presidential Medal of Freedom winners. Douglas was on the list but the interesting thing to me was that he was given the award during the Carter administration.Interesting stat I saw on Twitter:
Kirk Douglas lived through the terms of 40% of the US Presidents.
Lancaster and Douglas were terrific as adversaries in John Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May.there's a little story that Alec Baldwin recounts on "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" with Seinfeld about Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.

I was always more of a Burt Lancaster fan than Douglas. He seemed to do quirky films like Atlantic City, Local Hero, and The Swimmer just as easily as he did bigger films in his heyday. He also banged Mamie Van Doren while on a LSD trip with her. I can't imagine Kirk Douglas doing that.Lancaster and Douglas were terrific as adversaries in John Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May.
I can't believe they allow comments like that there. Here it would be a year ban minimum.Orson Bean
jeez, horrible way to go - 91 yrs old, and clipped like that
guy was ubiquitous back in the day ... used to see him in/on everything ... last i saw him was on "Modern Family" some seasons back.
R.I.P.
didn't even scroll down that far 'til you mentioned it - the innerwebz, eh?I can't believe they allow comments like that there. Here it would be a year ban minimum.
I don't understand how major sites like that still allow a comment section, they are always pure trash.I can't believe they allow comments like that there. Here it would be a year ban minimum.
wouldn't shock me if they did a week together on "Tattle Tales", sandwiching Scoey Mitchell.RIP :(
Used to get Bean confused with Orsen Welles.
Oh my god. That was ridiculous to read. R.I.P. Mr. Bean.I can't believe they allow comments like that there. Here it would be a year ban minimum.
Our greatest Vermonter (suck it Bern) - but his passing does move me up to #417. Clever performer (capped by a great turn in Malkovich), everywhere on 60s TV like you said, especially good on the panel game shows like To Tell the Truth, What's My Line. Fine feller, ayup. RIP -Orson Bean

My first thought was "How could a 91-year-old be married to the mom from Wonder Years?!?" But he was only 23 years older than her. Man, I'm getting old.RIP :(
Used to get Bean confused with Orsen Welles. Also didn’t realize he was married to Mrs. Arnold from The Wonder Years.
Thanks, I was where the wingnuts in the comment section got the Breitbart thing from.My first thought was "How could a 91-year-old be married to the mom from Wonder Years?!?" But he was only 23 years older than her. Man, I'm getting old.
Also, he actually took his stage name from Orson Welles -- his real name was Dallas Burrows, which would have made a great Hollywood name in its own right.
Also, here's some trivia for you: his father was one of the founders of the ACLU, and his daughter was married to Andrew Breitbart.
Jim West, the 'Mer'can James Bond and significant hero of my youth. Guess he ran out of batteries.........RIP -RIP Robert Conrad. Loved Baa Baa Black Sheep.

He was legit angry at Gabe Kaplan for some unknown technical glitch in the 1976 episode. Conrad wasn't just a quick runner, he was also quite quick with the ethnic jokes (he hits about three in the first minute) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqWU9huMMcoMaybe the best competitor on Battle of the Network Stars.
Forgot about Baa Baa Black Sheep. I loved it too.RIP Robert Conrad. Loved Baa Baa Black Sheep.

and Robert CummingsI used to get Robert Conrad confused with Robert Culp.
I loved WWW when I was a kid. I remember something about his contract on the show requiring at least one moment with his shirt off. He was definitely of his Hollywood generation.wikkidpissah said:Jim West, the 'Mer'can James Bond and significant hero of my youth. Guess he ran out of batteries.........RIP -
He's still kicking.Thought he was great as the President in Independence Day. RIP.
