Wow, it's been a busy day...though I'm really only familiar with James Arness. I have lots of episodes (maybe 200 or so) of his series Gunsmoke. I also have a variety of his movies including 3 with John Wayne (Island In The Sky, Hondo, Big Jim McLain) plus Gun The Man Down and The Thing From Another World.
No one seemed to post about her, but Clarice Taylor passed away yesterday at the age of 93. I remember her most for playing the mother of Cliff Huxtable (played by Bill Cosby) on The Cosby Show.
