Those were the days.

Or Rocky XXXVIII.
Ken used to tell a story that’s a good lesson in surviving in Hollywood. He had a small house in the valley, and when he got his first big hit role, he wanted to sell it and use the proceeds to buy a place in a swanky neighborhood. His business manager convinced him to hold on to it and find another way to make the move. He did, and at slow times during his career, moved back into it. He could turn down stuff he hated without becoming homeless.
He had his “flavor of the month” periods, but never lived like he thought it would last forever.
A good song and dance man. No opportunities so he went into more acting. Shame.

Those were the days.
There were a few articles recently about Tim Conway Jr’s dad’s poor health as well, including I think dementia and bedridden and such. Usually one doesn’t have long at that point. I’m sorry the family is going through this.
Sorry for the loss of this other comedian on the thread as well. You cannot have too many wonderful comedians on the planet and we miss every one when they leave.
I really like Timmy and I am sad for him because this part is worse than after they part from the earth. Wondering if they are in pain and feeling like they might be suffering. Wishing you could help somehow. It’s so hard. Then death is like a blessed relief, only then you feel guilty for not being “sad enough.” Thank Gd eventually (it’s been 2 years since my dad passed) you only remember them as they were when they were at their best, and it’s all good again.
Without even looking it up I clearly remember a
70s summer variety series the Ken Berry WOW Show
that tried to showcase that side
[Larry Storch]
I attended the Larry Storch School of Acting.
His ex-wife, Jackie Joseph who reported his death, played the part of Ramona in the Andy Griffith show. That’s the one where Andy tries to find a girl for Ernrst T Bass. “How do you do Mrs. Wiiiiley?”
That was a cute ending with the two of them frolicking around the neighborhood like that.
Two indians attack, ten dollar.
For twenty dollar, one indian bite dust!
Ken Berry seemed really likeable in and off the screen. Sad to hear... RIP.
Who says I’m dumb ?
Makes me think a lot about how much time I haven’t got.

Fascinating, Captain.
