I had not heard about Richard Libertini’s passing. One of those guys you’ve seen in a million TV shows and movies, but most people don’t know his name. He usually played offbeat characters.
Not really, lots of small kids get it and die. It tends to not hit the 20’s-50’s much, but outside that, who knows there’s plenty in that range that get it too and die.
I’m a fan of supporting work and not wiseass ‘old age’ comments
To quote Tom Berrenger in Platoon; “Death? What do you all know about death?”
Another great quote about death:
“God is dead.” Nietzsche
“Nietzsche is dead.” God
“One of those guys you’ve seen in a million TV shows and movies, but most people don’t know his name.”

That’s the kind of actor I would choose to be.
Earning a very good living yet still able to move around in public without the garbage press and/or public following you everyplace,

Ah the Death Pool. I’m afraid of who the next “winner” might be. Like we should start a prayer vigil for the likes of Clint Eastwood, Gene Wilder, etc.
Ha ha, love the big ad on the same page. “NEVER RUN OUT OF FUEL OIL.” Wah wah waaaaahh.
I hadn’t heard about Richard Libertini until now. Good character actor.
RIP to all on the list. We’re losing a lot of an entertainment era lately.
He also played the most wonderful knight-in-shining-armor hero in "Sense and Sensiblity," a "women's movie" (so I'd be surprised if you've seen it!) of Jane Austen's novel of the same name and which I have easily read at least a dozen times. Alan Rickman played the part so perfectly that he established himself as one of the world's most handsome men, to me, ever since!
If you've never seen Bottle Shock -- he's absolutely fabulous in it, NO BODY could have played that part as well as Rickman, he was perfect.
Capt. Miller (Tom Hanks) from “Saving Private Ryan.”
“When was the last time anyone had a good feeling about anything?”
Were you on the john when you posted this? ;-)
Well I certainly hope so.
What were the odds of a 22 year old Len Bias dying right after being drafted by the Celtics? Probably not on anybody's list beyond that of an extremely gifted actuary who happened to know Bias' dealer.
I screwed up. I should have done Lt Spiers from band of Brothers:
“The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends on it.”
RIP Dan Haggerty.
However, the rule-of-three happened often enough for him to wait a few days to a week or so before starting it up again to clear out any also rans.
Especially if there are any public deathwatches going on. Even then there are the Castros and Zsa Zsa Gabors...
I think Olivia de Havilland is still alive.
Did you see this? I think it was going around (on FR?) at Christmas:
David Bowie e Bing Crosby - Little Drummer Boy (1982)

It’s good - lots of talking at the beginning until they get to singing.
Yep, July 1 is her 100th. Tokyo time.
John Hurt for me. :(
