I just could not bring myself to post about Luke Perry when they announced his passing....the shock was there when I first heard about the massive stroke and I somehow expected he would not survive it.
His poor kids.....R.I.P. Luke.

Jan-Michael Vincent, best known for playing daredevil pilot Stringfellow Hawke in 1980s TV series Airwolf, has died at the age of 74, it has emerged.


The US actor also appeared with Charles Bronson in The Mechanic, with Burt Reynolds in Hooper and in seminal surfing film Big Wednesday.


He was nominated for a Golden Globe for 1971 film Going Home and again in 1984 for miniseries The Winds of War.


Vincent died on 10 February, according to his death certificate.

The document, which was only obtained by the media on Friday, states he was an inpatient at a hospital in North Carolina and is survived by his third wife, Patricia Ann Christ.

Oh my, @Natalka , Mr. Vincent had a troubled life in the past few years. His name cropped up in the tabloids as apparently he was set on doing fan-cons in order to get the money as his health and life were in difficult years (he was living in Kentucky so I don't know how he ended up in North Carolina). He was a looker during his Airwolf years (I was a fan), but I also was aware of his temper and assault issues off-screen as well.
Now I'll have to look up the show episodes and also the movie Big Wednesday (he was a surfer).

Geez, another young one - RIP Luke.

25 years since the passing of John Candy... Wish I could blow up something ​real good

The SCTV reference for John Candy-when he and Joe Flaherty played those plaid shirt wearing brothers on a porch and making that remark!

Geez, I am so sorry, I fell for a repost on the net - Roger Moore died two years ago.

My bad...

rest in peace Peggy Lipton
I had forgotten that her daughter was actress Rachida Jones and her husband was Quincy Jones

oh darn...I knew Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones had struggled because of their interracial marriage, and as a fan of both The Office and Park's and Rec I quickly learned who Rashida was ( gosh she is so very funny in all the stuff she does ). I was unaware of Peggy's colon cancer diagnosis however. R.I.P , you will always be Julie Barnes to me.
