Powers Boothe, an Emmy-winning character actor whose credits included “Nashville,” “The Avengers” and “Deadwood,” died Sunday at age 68. The first movie I remember seeing him in was way back where he played Jim Jones. I don't remember the title, but he was excellent! RIP TIS TIS, That movie was called Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones. He was also in that TV mini series Hatfield & McCoys.

Yea, I just heard about Roger Moore. Tho I've seen a few Bond movies, I was never a huge fan. However, I remember way back when he was in the tv series "The Saint." Was on late at night on weekends, but I use to watch. I didn't know he had cancer. RIP TIS

Frank Deford, legendary sportswriter, dies at age 78
Frank Deford, one of the sharpest and most affable sportswriters in American journalistic history, died Sunday at the age of 78. Deford’s decades-long career reached from the daily newspaper to the smartphone screen, covering every medium in between. A Sports Illustrated contributor since 1962, Deford also created memorable television segments for outlets including HBO and CNN. His weekly sports segments on NPR, which he concluded earlier this month, showcased his characteristic wit, insight, curiosity, and compassion.

Former major leaguer Jim Piersall, who bared his soul about his struggles with mental illness in his book "Fear Strikes Out," has died. He was 87. Piersall died Saturday at a care facility in Wheaton, Illinois, after a monthslong illness, according to the Boston Red Sox, for whom Piersall played for seven of his 17 seasons in the majors.
Piersall's on-field antics when he first broke into the majors with the Red Sox full-time in 1952 cracked up fans and provided fodder for newspaper columnists. In one game against the St. Louis Browns, he made pig noises and mocked the odd throwing motion of aging Hall of Fame pitcher Satchel Paige.
But Piersall also had furious arguments with umpires, broke down sobbing one day when told he wouldn't play and got into a fistfight with the New York Yankees' Billy Martin at Fenway Park, followed minutes later by a scuffle with a teammate.
"Almost everybody except the umpires and the Red Sox thought I was a riot," Piersall said in the 1955 autobiography, later made into a movie starring Anthony Perkins and Karl Malden. "My wife knew I was sick, yet she was helpless to stop my mad rush towards a mental collapse. The Red Sox couldn't figure out how to handle me. I was a problem child."
He played 56 games in the majors before being admitted to a mental hospital with what was later diagnosed as bipolar disorder. He wrote in his book that he had almost no memory of the season or his time in the hospital. He returned to the majors in 1953 "sound and healthy" thanks to "shock treatments, faith, a wonderful wife, a fine doctor and loyal friends." He went public to shatter society's stereotypes of the mentally ill.

Piersall died Saturday at a care facility in Wheaton, Illinois, after a monthslong illness, according to the Boston Red Sox, for whom Piersall played for seven of his 17 seasons in the majors. Piersall was "famous" for running the bases backwards after he hit his 100th career homerun. Also, one of his incidents involved charging the mound and throwing his batting helmut at pitcher, Jim Bunning in the early '60s. Bunning just died last week. Piersall, depsite all the attention to his emotional issues, was a decent ballplayer.

Two more to add: Actor Peter Sallis died June 2 at age 96. (He was on Don Marco's list.) Actress Elena Verdugo died May 30 at age 92. (She was on my list.) Yeah, I'd say it was time for an update! Signor V.

Signor V. SV, I knew Elena Verdugo rang a bell. My first thought was she played a nurse on tv. Sure enough, I googled her and remembered she was on Marcus Welby. TIS
