Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for The Green Mile, died from complications from a heart attack. He was only 54.
He also had a very awesome and funny but short-lived role as the father of the girl Jake was dating on Two and a Half Men. RIP John Coffey :( |
that's one hell of a smile.
RIP. |
I liked the guy. First thing I saw him in was 'The Green Mile'. Good actor, and a great guy apparently. Craig Ferguson has had him on a lot, and they really let it hang out sometimes. Be interesting to watch Ferguson tonight (I think they tape a day ahead), I bet he makes a point to say something about Mr. Duncan's passing.

I feel I should acknowledge the passing of Max Bygraves.
Dad has a couple of his albums, but mostly to annoy other people. He used to put them on when his brothers came round. Farewell then Max. One of your best known songs was You Need Hands. You don't any more. |
Bye bye Andy Williams. Gosh I remember his show. Remember Cookie Bear?
Thanks for so beautifully singing Mancini's Moon River, Andy. RIP. Damn song makes me cry anyway. :sniff: |

Yahoo is reporting that Alex Karras has died.
I just read yesterday that his condition was deteriorating due to kidney failure. I believe he was also suffering from dementia. It's especially sad to see those big, nothing-can-harm-them-type guys go away. RIP, Mongo. |
On a somewhat related note, I read a few weeks ago that one of my favorite feetball players of all time, Jim McMahon, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, one of the toughest qbs in history, is suffering the early stages of dementia.
At 53. |

While he's not as famous as he deserves to be, I'm posting this here anyway.
John Jamieson Carswell 'Jack' Smart passed away on the 6th of October. http://www.monash.edu.au/news/show/vale-j.-j.-c.-smart Quote:
Although one time he knocked on my office door and asked for help with his computer, because there were cats running around on the screen and tearing holes in things. He got the idea of a screensaver pretty quickly for an octogenerian. |

And I've never understood getting 'Jack' from 'John' anyway, it's not shorter, it's not easier to say, so, WTF?! |
How's this for thread drift....
PDX TV just had an ad for an event in Seattle. It's a display of King Tut's funerary items, The ad says it's the last time these will be on display in North America I took my family to see the exhibit that was here many years ago, and we were completely taken by the beauty, and their age. Although Steve Martin made Tut popular, that exhibit was better . If you can, take the opportunity to see this display. Seeing the real objects is so much better than any pictures. |
Larry Hagman. Goodbye JR, Major Nelson.
