Looks like Bret Michaels is next.

Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Munchkin coroner in “The Wizard of Oz” is really most sincerely dead.

Many years ago when I was still nursing, I cared for a very elderly woman who had once worked for the family of Sir Micheal Redgrave. It was during the war years and later, and she was also godmother of Lynn Redgrave who died today.

Just before my patient died in London when she was almost a hundred years old, Lynn flew in from La La Land and spent some time quietly caring for the frail old woman and talking about the good old days, when all the Redgrave clan were living by the river in Chiswick.

I found her to be the least precious of the family and the most generous with her time. She brought great happiness and comfort to a dying woman and I really liked her.

I hate cancer.

Every time I hear her name, the lyrics just arise unbidden in my head...

But during...
National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise
As long as you don't let 'em in your school

He's one of the 20% who actually survived. I was scared for his family and fans, but I didn't really care for him on TV at all.

I cried all day when Patrick Swayze died. I think it was because I grew up watching his movies, and I could totally recollect times in my life just by watching certain movies of his. His life outside Hollywood was just as spectacular, and he had a very loving marriage that I think everyone could admire, and something I strive for. He was an amazing man.

(I didn't scroll back in the thread- I'm going to assume he's already been listed- but I'm new dammit!! :P )

Tom Lehrer is funny as hell. My father bought "That was the Year That Was" when it was originally released. My siblings and I thought it was hilarious, now my son and his friends are into it.

NEW YORK (AP) - A Broadway public relations firm says the last Ziegfeld Girl has died.
Boneau/Bryan-Brown says Doris Eaton Travis died Tuesday at age 106. It hasn't said where or how she died.

Travis was one of the legendary Ziegfeld Follies Girls, the chorus girls who wore elaborate costumes for the Ziegfeld Follies series of Broadway theatrical productions in the early 1900s.

She also was a supporter of the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS fundraising organization and appeared often in its annual Easter Bonnet Competition.

She was from West Bloomfield, Mich.
