I know of the movie Parasite but have yet to see it. I'm always concerned when I hear of an actor or singer passing away some years after a hit release because I think is it lack of work, money issues, legal concerns?

Canadian retailer Harry Rosen passed away on December 24: https://www.thestar.com/life/remembe...f35381ddb.html

I admit that I was never a loyal Toby Keith fan BUT some of his songs sure pierced my heart! Like the one below. He lost his battle with stomach cancer yesterday. ( Feb 5th )

I remember thinking "Action Jackson will be on the Mandalorian series???" when Carl's name was mentioned.

I discovered a few clips of Carl on Youtube. He did a hike with Kevin Nealon!

Another comedian is lost. Richard Lewis was not my first choice in comedy, however I was drawn to his neurotic sort of doomsday schtick.
One performance I found shocking was the shirt he wore was dark and he had experienced a flop sweat or something, the large pit stains
on the armpits of his shirt were right there distracting from his performance.

R.I.P dear Mr. Lewis.

I was puzzled why tv shows were showing videos of OJ Simpson in the Bronco yesterday, then I found out the former football player had passed away on April 10. He had pancreatic cancer.
