Pianist and composer Andre Previn died today. He was 89.

He and Mia Farrow are the adoptive parents of Soon-Yi Previn (Woody Allen's wife).

Aw man. I missed this one.

Character actor, that-guy-who-was-in-that-thing, Morgan Woodward died back on Feb 22.

He played a recurring role on Dallas (the first one), and he also played the rifle-toting road gang boss with the mirrored sunglasses in Cool Hand Luke.

If ya don't remember him, you'll know his face, he was known for his face.

Dude was in everything on TV in the 70s. He guest-starred on Gunsmoke 19 times, more than anyone else but the regular cast.

I always liked Andre Previn. I think it's fair to say that classical music conductors are rarely known for their sense of fun but Previn was cast in a different mould.

He famously appeared with Morecambe and Wise in a sketch in their show while he was principal conductor with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Morecambe and Wise with Andre Previn.

A superb sketch. The best bits are where he’s struggling not to corpse

It's to become convulsed with laughter to the extent that it is impossible to deliver your own lines.
Generally the greater the effort not to laugh, the worse it becomes.

I'm on my iPad at present which doesn't lend itself to posting links, but there's a Wikipedia article on 'corpsing' which sheds some more light on the subject.
