He had man boobs? LOL I hadn't noticed OR if I did I forgot. lol It's been a while since I've seen a Tarzan movie.

Speaking of JW, I remember a number of years ago reading that he was in a home/hospital. He must have had dementia or something because I read that every now & then he'd do the Tarzan call. Kind of humorous in a sad way. frown

Wow, he looks terrible. Way older than his age. frown Sadly, so many child stars grow up to have major issues. I know he married and divorced (once I think) and his movie career took a dive. And, in spite of his denial, and in spite of trial outcomes, deep down I just have a feeling he was one of Michael Jackson's victims. frown

That being said, he made his fame thru Home Alone, but did anyone ever see the movie, "The Good Son" with Elijah Wood? Quite a chilling performance.

Of course I'm kidding. Howard may be the most mentally well balanced and successful child actor who ever lived.

I always was under the impression that (according to Hollywood legend) the Weissmuller Tarzan yell was created back in 1932 by the Sound Department at MGM studios for Tarzan the Ape Man, Weissmuller's first Tarzan outing. (And no, I'm not "outing" Tarzan! tongue ) I had heard that the famous cry was a human voice interspersed with a yodel played at high speed, thus producing a sound that was impossible for a human being to perfectly replicate.

However...

An Internet search turned up a lot of contradictory information and conflicting stories (it figures).

Tarzan yell (Wikipedia)

And, of course, just like virtually everything else on the 'Net, the Tarzan yell can also be downloaded for use as a cell phone ringtone. lol

A good runner-up would be Kurt Russell.

(Made his movie debut w/ Elvis, played ping pong with Walt Disney. How didn't Kurt grow up to a meth head?!?)

Bassett dies
Quote:
DETROIT (USA TODAY) — Blues guitarist Johnnie Bassett, a much-loved statesman of the Detroit scene, died Saturday night. He was 76.

Bassett had been in declining health — recently diagnosed with cancer — and was moved last month to hospice care at St. John Hospital in Detroit.

In a long and storied career, the musically versatile Bassett had been a go-to player on Detroit's bustling club scene of the '50s and '60s, and was a member of the Fortune Records house band the Blue Notes.

He accompanied a litany of brand-name artists, including fellow Detroiters John Lee Hooker, Little Willie John, Smokey Robinson and Nolan Strong, and was friendly with a young Jimi Hendrix during the latter's early, blues-oriented Seattle years.

"This is one of those artists where everything just came together — jazz, soul, blues, R&B," said publicist Matt Lee. "We'll never see his like again."


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

He looked fairly young and healthy.I am sure no one has him on any list. Apparently he was quite the prodigy. Went to Julliard at age 7, and was going to be a classical ianist until he realized what a talent he had for writing pop music and showtunes, not to mention playing piano in flicks likt The Sting.

Very, very sad to hear this. frown Bob Hoskins is a fine actor.

A few recent deaths in the UK seemed to go virtually unnoticed on this side of the pond:

Actor Simon Ward died July 20 at age 70 after a long illness. He starred in the 1972 film Young Winston (about the early years of Winston Churchill), but, for some reason, his film career never really took off. He was the father of actress Sophie Ward.

For fans of the TV series Doctor Who, two of the Doctor's companions from the series' "Golden Age" have recently left us:

Caroline John died June 5 at the age of 71. She played the role of scientist "Liz Shaw" in 1970 opposite Jon Pertwee as The Doctor, and Mary Tamm died July 26 at the age of 62. Ms. Tamm played the first incarnation of Time Lady "Romana" opposite Tom Baker during the 1978-79 season.

Cancer claimed both of these very popular actresses.

Two additions to the list today:

Helen Gurley Brown, the editor of "Cosmopolitan" magazine and the lady most influential in the magazine's success, died at age 90.

Also, Johnny Pesky, longtime infielder of the Boston Red Sox, and for whom the famous foul pole is named, died at age 92.

Helen Gurly Brown passed away? frown I remember her from way back. She was on many talk shows.

Wasn't it HGB that got Burt Reynolds to pose for the centerfold in Cosmo? It was a huge success. LOL I remember all the ladies from work ran to the store at lunch time to get a look at and/or purchase that issue of Cosmo. lol

I don't know Pesky (not surprising to anyone) but RIP to both

Actor William Windom died August 16 of heart failure at the age of 88. A very popular actor with a very long career, he was a regular on the TV series "Murder, She Wrote," starred in "My World and Welcome To It," and guest-starred in countless other shows, including the original "Star Trek."

Singer Scott McKenzie died August 18 at age 73. He had a big hit back in 1967 with the song "San Francisco," and was one of the writers of the The Beach Boys' hit, "Kokomo."
