Marla Gibbs is still alive.

Didn't know that either. Thanks for the entertainment news. I'm really behind in the news here. LOL

Oh yea, Marla Gibbs was great also. I forgot about her.

what about 'all in the family' who's still alive from that show?

I believe Jean Stapleton is still alive and I know that Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers are as well. I use to watch that show all the time. I can't imagine it going over today, even tho there are many real-life Archie Bunkers still around I'm sure.

I had quite the crush on him when "Medical Center" was on the air. He did age well, I'll say that for him. RIP, Chad.

I'm sorry to hear about Chad Everett. I too loved Medical Center and watched it regularly. RIP

I keep tellin' youse - that one's gonna outlive us all!

Just sayen.

Signor V.

She's the last one. Mr. Bentley, Helen and Tom Willis, Ralph and Weezie are dead. Even Lionel, the son, is dead. I don't know about Jenny.

Yes, the "real" Lionel (Mike Evans) is dead. But the second guy who played him (Damon Evans) is still alive. So is Berlinda Tolbert, who played Jenny.

I never considered the second Lionel to be legitimate. He was almost as bad as the second John-Boy.

I'm glad that Jenny is still kicking though.

But which Darren from "Bewitched" did you like better???

I'll but in... I guess I'd go with the first one, Dick York but to be honest, I think the other Darren (Dick Sargent) to me pretty much resembled the first Darren. York Passed away a while back. I don't know about Sargent.

TIS

But then which Tarzan did you like best?

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller.

I'm with you. I use to love to watch Tarzan movies and Weissmuller was the best

Both Dicks are Dead. (York and Sargent, that is.)

Dick Sargent died July 8, 1994 of prostate cancer at age 64.

Signor V.

No need to call them names.

Of the Dicks I preferred York.

Not so fun facts: Sargent and Elizabeth Montgomery both died of cancer, York from emphysema.

Remember how much they used to smoke on that show?

Cigarette companies were big sponsors of television shows in that era, and would often encourage the writers, directors, etc to include scenes, in which the stars smoked. Even Andy Griffith did it. Moreover, the actors would play their tv roles in commercials for cigarettes during their shows.

Oh yeah, I remember the cigarette commercials well, Klyd.

even including the flintstones

Flintstones cigarette commercials

And speaking of Elizabeth Montgomery, William Asher, producer/director of Bewitched and director of over 100 episodes of I Love Lucy (including the classic "candy factory" episode) died July 16 at age 90. During the time of Bewitched, Asher and Montgomery were husband and wife.

Speaking of Bewitched, the show's creator, Sol Saks, died back on April 16 at age 100.

Signor V.

Tony Martin passed away from natural causes at 98 yrs. old. Wow!!! RIP

Gore Vidal dies at 86.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/01/showbiz/gore-vidal-death/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

For some reason I believed that Gore Vidal had died a few years ago.

If i was picking a dead pool for the next year Macaulay Culkin would be at the top of my list. He has obviously deteriorated beyond belief and is said to be a major heroin and opiate pill junkie. Just reading an article about him today and it's actually pretty sad how far down he is. Culkin has lost so much much weight he looks like he has AIDS or cancer but it's the dope. If he keeps up like this he'll be gone within a year.

He certainly had the biggest man boobs.....he had a better rack than Jane.
