RIP Carol Channing.

I saw her about 2 decades ago on Larry King talking about her controlling & abusive husband.

Emmy-nominated actress Katherine Helmond, best known for her role on “Who’s the Boss?,” died on Feb. 23 at her Los Angeles home due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease. She was 89.

I liked her role in Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" with the stretchy face.

Apologies for double post

Listen to these drum licks. Sometimes they really made the song a hit

Hal Blaine put the booms into baby boomer's ears, the unknown and unsung drum genius, providing the beat for a new generation

Rip Torn

I first remember really liking him when I saw him on the Larry Sanders show. He was amazing in that, in a lot of stuff.

Rest in peace.
