Wonder if they mentioned Edward Woodward

Odds against you? Need help? Call the Equalizer.

BTW, Woodward, who also was in one of the Batman movies, was not mentioned.

[Political Junkie Too]

The Wiz. Also sang Ben, which was nominated but didn't win.

It was years before I realized that Woodward was the Ghost of Christmas Present in the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol.

Sergeant Howie, The Wicker Man. Great role.

[GSWarrior]

Woodward, who also was in one of the Batman movies

Oops....that was Michael Caine.

[Lockbar]

“The Apostle”, I absolutly love that movie.

the wiz with diana ross.

Davis is auditioning for a job at the white house.
What a Jerk, all he had to do was apologize.....

BTW, I liked her hair.

[TET1968]

Didn’t that robot get lucky?

[Mears]

Ditto !!!!

I didn’t know Sarah had died. Why did they ignore her death?

WH Job? Official non-apology apologizer?

Rereading his statement it seems he was sorry Farah’s family was so stupid they thought she deserved to be acknowledged.

[PLMerite]

I liked her in “Myra Breckenridge” where she was in bed with Raquel Welch.

I think the double injury was that Farrah, who deserved attention in her untimely death and long battle with cancer, received next to none, because the dramatic, even more untimely death of Michael Jackson happened the same exact day.

It would have been nice if the man responsible for the In Memoriam had decided to err on the side of Farrah and give her the tribute she deserved, after the way her actual death was dwarfed in the press.

IMHO everyone of the members who die should be commerated. If it means cutting one of the other segments by 2 mintues so what.

[Churchillspirit]

Farrah had the misfortune of dying on the same day as Michael Jackson - or thereabouts. All the media attention was on The Freak.

[Churchillspirit]

Robert DuVall is my favorite living actor.

[Cicero]

Well, I don’t know what her relation to Ryan O’Neal was. He could have been a boyfriend earlier, but then just a friend who helped take care of her at the last. Last Rites includes confession, as well. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

It’s ABC that calls him her “boyfriend.”

[libertyhoundusnr]

This was likely intentional....They have all the resources that any writer could possibly have....

The only other possible explanation is that once again the “movie” crowd is plagued by poor writers and poor reseachers. Related by blood, marriage or poltics.....For now, cartoons may be their only product.....
