Jonathan Frid, he probably saw the preview of Tim Burton's version of Dark Shadows and it killed him.

Levon Helm in the final stages of his over-decade long bout with throat cancer.

I missed this post and was going to post the news about Helm's death.

The Band was one of the first concerts I saw - they toured w/ Bob Dylan in 1966. I remember him best as the drummer of The Band:

He also played Loretta Lynn's father in Coal Miner's Daughter

and he also played Jack Ridley, Chuck Yeager's buddy who gives him the snapped broomstick to close the latch on the X-1, and is the narrator in The Right Stuff.

That's a little unfair. You only have to read the blog your link came from to get an idea of how generous both sides were in the making of the new version. After all, the original was only a soap opera with a very cool premise. It can stand a re-interpretation and it sounds like Jonathan Frid had fun being involved.

I knew I'd seen him somewhere! My dad was big Country music fan and he saw the film a couple of times. Never caught my interest, but I saw it in passing.
