Farewell to another of our wonderful performers who brought so many memorable characters into our lives:
Yvonne DeCarlo(Sept. 1, 1922 - Jan.8, 2007)

Oh, that is SO sad! Condolences to all near and dear to her! Thanks for letting us know!

Was that Herman or Grandpa who just said, “Is that you, Lilly?”

That is sad news. I loved that show when I was a kid. Marilyn particularly was scary. Can you imagine trying to raise such a freak...

Of course she will forever be Lily Munster in my mind, but when I see her in all the old movie photos that have been circulated in the past few days I realize how beautiful she was and what other great roles she had. Goodbye, Lily!!

I always enjoyed his satires and insights. A writer from the old school of knowing much and writing about all of it:

Sidney Sheldon died, if anyone cares.

I care.

Well, for the most part I liked "I Dream of Jeannie," but even in that noticed an alarming mean streak that seemed to characterize so much of Mr. Sheldon's work. I hope it all came out in his art and not his personal life!

Poor Doctor Bellows...

Of course, I heard of this as the day began!! Farewell...

A fine Sicilian boy! Sing above us all...

Anna Nicole Smith. Shocking, but not...

From a fine sicilian boy, to a fine silicone girl.
