Curtain Call

This was not a shock at all.

Merlin Olsen died...I heard about it yesterday but I'm not sure if it happened yesterday.  He was a football player and later announcer and I remember he did a lot of commercials for a florist company.  But he also did some acting, appearing for a couple years on Little House on the Prairie and then starring in his own series, Father Murphy.  He died of cancer...I think he was 69.

Dorothy Janis, probably the last lead silent film actor of that era at 100 years of age.

Peter Graves

What's my vector Victor for entering the pearly gates, and has St. Peter given me clearance Clarence?

I just learned that Fess Parker has died at the age of 85...which happens to be my father's age.  He seemed to make a career out of wearing coonskin caps as he played Davy Crockett in a handful of episodes of The Wonderful World of Walt Disney...as well as starring in the weekly series Daniel Boone which lasted several years.  I actually only recall him in a couple of other things including the western movie Smoky.

I just came across a news item at the IMDB that Dixie Carter has passed away at the age of 70.  She was married to actor Hal Holbrook and is probably best known for playing Julia Sugarbaker on the TV sitcom Designing Women.

Meinhardt Raabe, the coroner of Munchkinland, is really, most sincerely dead











Sorry, just couldn't pass that one up.
