RIP Sherman Hemsley.

We saw re-runs when Jeffersons were on All in the Family with Archie Bunker. Jefferson vs. Bunker - wow, they don't write TV like that any more.

Another actor passed away Tuesday at the age of 75 - Chad Everett, whom I knew from the '70s tv show Medical Center where he played Dr. Joe Gannon.
He was a major hunk with amazing blue eyes!




Everett's daughter, Katherine Thorp, said he died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a year-and-a-half-long battle with lung cancer.
Everett is survived by his two daughters, Katherine and Shannon, and six grandchildren. He was married to actress Shelby Grant for 45 years until her death last year.

Irish writer Maeve Binchy has died following a short illness, aged 72.

The best-selling author was famous for her warm stories about life and love in Ireland and sold more than 40 million books worldwide which were translated in to 30 languages.

Some of her work was also adapted for screen including the 1995 film Circle of Friends starring Minnie Driver and Chris O'Connell.

Tony Martin dies aged 98

Veteran American singer and actor Tony Martin has died at the age of 98.
He was best known for such romantic 1950s ballads as There's No Tomorrow and To Each His Own, and his 60-year marriage to dancer Cyd Charisse.
A peer of Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, Martin also starred in movie musicals from the 1930s to the '50s, alongside stars such as Judy Garland.
Business manager Stan Schneider said he had died "peacefully" of natural causes at his Los Angeles home on Friday.

[Natalka]

Hm... I didn't know who Tony Martin was, even though I know of Cyd Charisse.


Maeve Binchy, though... what a legacy she has left with her amazing writing; I've read many of her books, and loved them all!
