I'll bet that Zsa Zsa leaves us this year.... not so sure about Fidel.
Poor Zsa Zsa. She's had it rough in her later years.
I mostly remember her "dahling" on shows like Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, etc, talking love, men and whatnot. And she's had what 8 marriages? And landed herself a Prince in the end.

I only know James Farentino. I couldn't have listed any of his movies/tv but always liked him. I THINK he was married to actress Michelle Lee at one time (I see he's been married 4 times, so don't know how long ago.)

Robert Hegyes, better known to us as Epstein on "Welcome Back Kotter" died today. He was 60 years old and apparently had a heart attack.
He was a hoot on the tv show.
R.I.P. and thanks for the laughs.
Are we sure his mother didn't write that note so he could get out of doing the inevitable remake movie?
I liked him.

Wow, Robert Hegyes who played Epstien in Welcome Back Kotter passed away after suffering a heart attack. I am so surprised. I use to love him and the whole cast of that show.

Yes, he was WAY too young AND I would not have guessed he was part Italian, though I really had NO idea what his heritage. Anyway may he RIP. Very sad.
BTW, one of my favorite tv themes songs. I recall seeing John Sebastian on a PBS channel once who said he was totally surprised that this song became a hit.

I remember Don Cornelius AND use to watch Soul Train a lot. He was a good host and had a nice speaking voice for his line of work. How sad.

If you get a chance read some of the comments under the Cornelius story. Some people are total racist assholes. It's really disgusting. I saw same kind of comment on this story elsewhere and it's really disgusting. What's wrong with people?

Angelo Dundee, the brilliant motivator who worked the corner for Muhammad Ali in his greatest fights and willed Sugar Ray Leonard to victory in his biggest bout, died Wednesday in Tampa, Fla. He was 90.
The genial Dundee was best known for being in Ali's corner for almost his entire career, but those in boxing also knew him as an ambassador for boxing and a figure of integrity in a sport that often lacked it.
He died with his family surrounding him, said son, Jimmy Dundee, but not before being able to attend Ali's 70th birthday bash in Louisville, Ky., last month.
"It was the way he wanted to go," Jimmy Dundee said. "He did everything he wanted to do."...

Angelo Dundee, one of the best cornermen in professional boxing , died yesterday at age 90.
Dundee was in the corner for many world champs but his best relationship was with Muhammad Ali. He also was involved in the careers of some of my favorites including welterweight Luis Rodriquez and light heavy Willie Pastrano.

Did you guys miss it? Mr. Pitts from Seinfeld died two days ago. He was only in 7 episodes. Loved the episodes with him; Elaine won the contest for him to hold the rope on a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Ben Gazzara, one of the better lesser known actors of my lifetime died at age 81.
I would have loved to have hung out with him and his two sidekicks, Peter Falk and John Cassavetes.
R.I.P. Ben and thanks for the great movies.
Oh yea, I remember Ben Gazzara. When I was a teenager I use to babysit every Monday night for neighbors who were on a bowling league. The tv show "Run For Your Life" which starred Gazzara was popular at the time, and I watched every Monday at 10:00 while babysitting. I know I have seen him in many movies as well, but the tv show comes to mind first for me. Sorry to hear he passed away.
