Actress Markie Post died on August 7 at age 70. She was probably best known for playing public defender Christine Sullivan on the TV series Night Court. She was also on The Fall Guy with Lee Majors.
Also on August 7, actress Jane Withers died at age 95. A former child actress, she was also known for playing "Josephine the Plumber" in TV commercials for Comet cleanser in the 1960's and 1970's.
I was the only one who picked her.

Pat Hitchcock, actress and the only child of director Alfred Hitchcock died August 9 at age 93. She had small roles in three of her father's movies.
Also on August 9, actor Alex Cord died at age 88. You might remember him from the TV series "Airwolf" but I particularly remember him from the 1968 Mob movie "The Brotherhood" where he played the younger brother of Kirk Douglas. Due to the film's failure at the box office, Paramount was reluctant to tackle another movie dealing with organized crime until GF1.

Charlie Watts was, indeed, a true legend. The Stones will never be the same without him. As someone who remembers the great groups from the 1960's when they first hit it big, I definitely feel like a part of me has been lost, or at least, diminished. What I found truly worthy of respect was that he had been married to the same woman for over 50 years. In the world of showbiz - particularly Rock & Roll music, this is a rarity. He will be missed.
We've also lost:
Martial arts legend and actor Sonny Chiba, age 82. He died on August 19 of COVID.
Another legend: Country music's Tom T. Hall, age 85, on August 20. Probably his best-known mainstream song was "Harper Valley P.T.A." but I'll always prefer "I Like Beer" because, well... I like beer.
Don Everly, the last surviving Everly Brother, age 84 on August 21. A musical influence beyond description. Yeah, Phil and Don didn't always get along (to put it mildly), but what an imprint they made on music!
Rod Gilbert, age 80, on August 19. Another one who rightly deserves the title "legend" in the world of hockey. Always in the hearts of NY Rangers fans.
R.I.P. to all.

That's a sad one -- just a couple months ago I got his autograph via GalaxyCon (they do virtual signings which has been great during covid -- all real, because they have free live video Q&As anyone can join in on (if it's a virtual event, otherwise they're done during real events that have started back up), and you can get your autographs personalized to you (altho I chose not to for this one))...I would LOVE to get Betty White to sign this as well -- too late for Gavin MacLeod who just passed May 29 )....

It's crazy how many people are OD'ing these days. A friend of mine is currently recovering after a fentanyl laced cocaine overdose. People have no idea what they're getting when so much is cut with fentanyl.
RIP MKW

The great French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo died September 6 at age 88. He virtually personified French New Wave cinema in the 50's and 60's.
Also, actor/comedian Art Metrano died September 8, age 84. He was known for his stand-up act as well as appearances in the "Police Academy" film series. His career was severely curtailed in 1989 when a devastating accident temporarily left him a near-quadriplegic. He later turned his experience into a one-man show that he performed from a motorized wheelchair.
Nobody picked either one of them.
