How sad about all these losses,,,one right after the other. This is the first I've heard about Celeste Holm, loved her in Gentlemen's Agreement. I was just reading a book the other day, she was in one of the chapters. She was one that I thought would be around forever.

No! How sad. Tonight, I was going to watch some old videos I taped off tv (dvd player not working), one of the shows is Trailer Park, a great old Sci-Fi (sorry, Sy Fy) channel show. The host was Tom Davis, and he was very funny on it. Most of my friends hated the Franken and Davis segments on SNL, but I liked them...and I'm guessing it's because of the cringe-worthiness of some of them. Hey, you can make people uncomfortable and make 'em laugh at the same time. Will definitely be watching those old shows for sure. :cry:

Damn. I saw this pic you posted on another thread and I was trying to remember who that was with Garcia and Franken. I loved Franken & Davis.
Double damn.

I bought season 1 of Modern Family just to see what's the buzz. I see that one of the author is a certain Christopher Lloyd. Could it be the "Christopher Lloyd" of 'Back to the Future' or 'Addam's Family' ?
So, I Googled and ran into this Frenchs site
http://fr.necropedia.org/necrologie/Christopher_Lloyd
about his death.
Is it true ? Really ?
It appears that there's 2 Christopher Lloyd.
Nevertheless, I would be really sad if the real one passed away. There was no one, I mean NO ONE, that could do all those weird, odd and plain freaky characters that he did with such talent !
I hope it's not true.

Upon verification, it ain't true !
What a relief.
That's not one I would like to see disapear soon.

The news of his demise is premature though. :wink:
