Foxy brown. Sheba baby. Coffy. Friday foster. Love me some Pam Grier. And I liked Jackie brown. Just thought he drew it out to long. I liked it too, Cheech. A lot. But read the book that it was based on. It's even better. It's called "Rum Punch, by Elmore Leonard. In the book, the flight attendant's name was Jackie Burke. Tarantino changed it to Jackie Brown as an homage to a character in George V. Higgin's "The Friends of Eddie Coyle." The film was true to the book except for two minor changes. For one thing, in the book Jackie was a blonde haired White woman. Secondly, the book took place in South Florida, the film was set in California.

Mesach Taylor as Anthony Bouvier on Designing Women would often steal the show. He was hilarious. Sad to hear he died at such a young age. I couldn't find just the one clip, but if you watch this from about 10:10 to the commercial break, he was so very good at putting the snobs in their place.

If he was the last surviving member, how did the group announce it?  All kidding aside, I remember them playing in bars on the Lower East Side from back when I was still a teenager. The line at CBGB would be two city blocks long to see those guys. They were never really my cup of tea, some songs I liked, but this is obviously a big loss to the music world. RIP  .

Nadine Gordimer passed away South Africa has produced several writers of stature in the past half century, but few have approached the achievement of Nadine Gordimer, who has died aged 90. A significant figure in world literature, Gordimer plumbed the depths of human interaction in a society of racial tension, political oppression and sexual unease. The connection between the intimate and the public lay at the heart of her work, an apparently inexhaustible stream of novels, short stories and essays.
An outspoken voice against the evils of apartheid, Gordimer continued to express forthright views after its collapse and the emergence of a multiracial democracy..

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.

Lilo, That link doesn't work. I haven't been able to see what the cause of death was. Way back in the 70s I saw him (and Edgar) and others at a Detroit Fair Grounds concert. Sorry to hear it.  TIS

At this point, I don't believe a cause of death has been determined for Johnny Winter. All I've heard is that he died in a hotel room in Zurich where he was on tour.
Another death to report: Broadway legend Elaine Stritch passed away today at age 89. TV viewers also knew her as Alec Baldwin's mother on "30 Rock".

I just heard about Elaine Stritch's passing. Sorry to hear it. I also happened to read that it's been 15 years ago today that JFK Jr. died. It just doesn't seem like 15 years to me. Time flies. TIS

Lilo, That link doesn't work. I haven't been able to see what the cause of death was. Way back in the 70s I saw him (and Edgar) and others at a Detroit Fair Grounds concert. Sorry to hear it. TIS Hmm. The link works for me TIS.. But all it said was this According to the American Blues Scene, sources close to the man have confirmed that Johnny Winter has passed away at the age of 70. The cause of death is unknown at this time.
John Dawson Winter III — better known as Johnny Winter — was widely regarded as one of the greatest blues guitar players in music history. Best known for his high-energy blues-rock albums and live performances in the late 1960s and ’70s, Winter also produced three Grammy Award-winning albums for blues legend Muddy Waters. Since his time with Waters, Winter has recorded several Grammy-nominated blues albums and continues to tour extensively. In 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and in 2003, he was ranked 63rd in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” I first heard him on the albums Muddy Waters made shortly before he passed away. Kind of ironic that Winter's final album had another young slide virtuoso, Ben Harper, featured on it. Life is one big circle.

I always liked James Garner. Tho I did watch Maverick, I liked The Rockford Files better. He was in at least one Doris Day (light comedy)film/s I enjoyed too. Plus, he seemed like a likeable guy. Sorry to hear of his passing. Tho I saw The Patriot,I remember Heath Ledger's performance but I don't remember Skye McCole Bartusiak. So young to die. What a shame. TIS

A little "Maverick" trivia (no cheating). There was Bert & Bart right? Garner was Bert (I think) Who played Bart? I really don't remember.  Off the top of my head, I think it was Jack Kelly. I didn't watch Maverick (my mother controlled the TV back then!), so I'm not 100% sure. I liked him in the movies: The Great Escape, 36 Hours, and particularly Victor/Victoria and The Americanization of Emily. A huge loss. R.I.P. Signor V.

Could be drugs or something was wrong with her body like a weak heart. I just found this on CNN, and her mother believes she suffered a seizure. http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/20/showbiz/obit-skyemccolebartusiak/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

I was in the funeral service industry for twenty five years, and I just can't play in good conscience. Of course I'm not judging you guys. Not by a longshot . But you're right, I DO read this thread a lot. It's almost like a breaking news site for semi-famous deaths that I otherwise might have missed. ESPECIALLY when I see that Signor V made a post. Then I know it's going to be someone who was semi-famous, yet still beloved, from when we were growing up. I mean, when a Michael Jackson or a Whitney Houston dies, you'd have to be living on Mars to miss it. But where else can you see "breaking news" when one of the less famous Little Rascals passes away?

To backtrack a little: I see nobody mentioned the death of Martha Hyer, who passed away May 31 at the age of 89.  She had an interesting career, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Some Came Running" (1958) opposite Frank Sinatra. Wikipedia Article The Guardian obituary I'm not sure, but I don't believe anyone had her on their list. Signor V.
