wow...i am shocked and saddened! i remember he had a heart attack, but i thought he was recovering. i need to watch the green mile some time this week...RIP

Sad news RIP..

Very sad. RIP

He's had many roles, but like others here, I'll remember him most for John Coffey. The end of THE GREEN MILE gets the tears flowing every time.

In a world where Hollywood consists of the Kardashians and Lohans, Duncan was a true treasure of an actor, and a human being. Rest in peace.

He had a recent TV show as well, which I watched a couple of times. It was OK, but he was honestly the only reason I watched at all.

What a shame. He was so incredible as John Coffey, a true gentle giant. RIP, Big Man.

I thought he was great in "The Whole Nine Yards".

I'm saddened to have heard this - I always thought his best role was John Coffey in The Green Mile - Rest In Peace.

What a shame. He had that "Gentle Giant" thing down perfectly .

Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter-guitarist Joe South died September 5 of heart failure at age 72.

He was known for a string of hits in the 1970's (often with socially-conscious lyrics), including "Games People Play", "Walk A Mile In My Shoes" and "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" (a huge hit for Lynn Anderson).

I saw this. Many people don't know that he was the guitarist on Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools". There's more similarities between classic soul, country and blues than people realize. I first heard the band Tesla do "Games People Play" and later heard the original version.

I heard that. I liked Joe South (tho mostly familiar with his more popular tunes). Games People Play was great. Sorry to hear he passed.

Dog picks should be only 1/7 of a point.

Chimps? I say let them in as long as they get their picks in by 9PM on New Years Eve.

R.I.P. Andy Williams.

The smooth voiced singer died yesterday after a year long battle against cancer.

RIP

He, of course, also did this:

Another legend sadly passes away.. RIP..

RIP Andy!!

I was never a big fan of Andy, but he was a decent crooner in his day. Fact is anyone who ends up in Branson, Missouri is a bona fide "B list" entertainer.

This story is so bizarre that I wasn't sure whether to put this in Crime or TV, but this seemed somewhat appropriate here. Johhny Lewis of Sons of Anarchy fell or jumped from the roof of a building today. Inside the building, an 81 year old woman and a cat were found murdered. Mr. Lewis, obviously, is suspected of killing them both. It is believed that Mr. Lewis was renting a room from the elderly lady in this building.

You just can't make this stuff up!

OMG, SB that IS a bizarre story. I don't watch the show and don't know this guy but it appears as though he may have them. Also, a dead cat was found beaten to death?? Holy crap!

It's WAY weird! I don't know the show either, but it has gotten critical acclaim.

Herbert Lom, a dramatic actor who was also known for playing Chief Inspector Dreyfus opposite Peter Sellers in many of the "Pink Panther" movies, died September 27 at age 95.



Also, Michael O'Hare, who, as Commander Sinclair, was the original star of the sci-fi TV series "Babylon 5" died today of a heart attack at age 60.

I'm hearing that Alex Karras is near death.

That's too bad. He was one of the first ex-NFLers to make a successful segue into acting. I always liked him. I remember one of his first roles was on "The Odd Couple." Skinny little Felix was diddling his wife in the episode. Can you imagine?
