Vicki Sue Robinson, a singer that was truly "Unsung." She should have been much more popular than she really every was.

Kaufman, best known for playing the incompetent Latka Gravas on
the 1970s sitcom Taxi, officially died from lung cancer in 1984.
But, appearing at an award show named in Andy's honour, Michael Kaufman
said he received a letter from his brother, confirming he was alive, in 1999.

He then introduced a woman who claimed to be Andy's 24-year-old daughter.
Her age would mean she was born five years after his death.

"He just wanted to be a stay-at-home dad, that's why he wanted to leave the showbiz,"
she explained at the New York event.

Oh wow. One of my college lit professors was a freak for Doris Lessing. Yeah, she's good. RIP.

I know I have read at least one of her books. At least I really think I have. I hope so.

Will try to remember when I'm not supposed to be getting ready to go out (yes, it only happens a few times a year) and dallying here instead to heighton the tension.

Nope, he's back... resurrected on Family Guy Christmas special.
But Joan Fontaine is still dead.

Expected though it was, I find myself unbelievably saddened by the death of Nelson Mandela, and pretty much lost for words. "Free Nelson Mandela" was the theme tune of my impressionable years. he had a good innings and still.... What a great person. The world is a much better place that he was in it and didn't take the easier path.
