I thought he was living in El Paso?

Yes, celebrities live there. More than one. My wife once took me on the tour.

I still think the place is a craphole.

He and Franken were the baggage handlers transporting the gorilla in "Trading Places".

Chad Everett had a bit of a write up, and a clip from him... followed by a two sentence notice about Mr Helmsley. I was saddened to hear it described as "was found in his home in El Paso". Found? That's sad.

Good night Marvin Hamlisch, age 68.

I always remember him on Merv Griffin, behind the piano, talking about how he adapted Scott Joplin when he scored "The Sting". It was so perfect for the film, it renewed interest in ragtime. Ragtime FFS! And every kid who played piano that year was forever begged to bang out "The Entertainer".

He was also responsible for "A Chorus Line" which every theater person either has a true fondness for, or at least has heard their friends riffing on "One!..... singular sensation, every little step she takes..."

Only just found out that Crowded House's drummer, Peter Jones died in May this year.
Not big news over here, despite him being English.

He replaced one of my pop heroes, Paul Hester. After the band separated in the mid-nineties he pursued a career in music and television but hanged himself in 2005. Peter Jones replaced him when he band reformed. BIG shoes to fill.

Jones died at the age of 45 of brain cancer.
I saw him live twice and although I cannot judge him as a musician, he was a presence on stage and certainly competent. I don't mean to damn him with faint praise - just that Hestie was such a character in live shows.

RIP Peter Jones. I didn't mark your passing and that bums me out.

Phyllis Diller is back with Fang.

Nobody could wear a maribou dress like she could.

What a life. 95 years, and she didn't look an operation over 60.

Sheldonrs · 08-24-2012, 01:49 PM

And thank you for helping me learn how.

Huh.
Sylvia Kristel.

Apparently she smoked a ton, and it caught up with her. Dead of lung and throat cancer at 60.

Last night on some news program I heard women who smoke/drink/mess around with too many boys usually die around the age of...sixty.

isn't that weird? Who wants to live to be too old anyway? I'm watching my folks lose their reasoning day by day.

Yeah. I've decided to be like Alan Arkin's character in "Little Miss Sunshine".

Its hard watching my old man, because I know he knows he's losing it. It would be easier if one switch got thrown. "Okay you're nuts now, have at."
