I loved Howie Morris and his hilarious character of Ernest T. Bass. My favorite line was "How do you do Mrs. Wylie? No coffee, tea, or punch for me thank you." I loved when he was at Mrs. Wylie's for the singles social, Mrs. Wylie thought he was from back-Boston, and he went after Ramona. RIP Howie and thanks for my favorite Andy episodes.

Does anyone remember the Tony the Tiger race to the moon game that we played in our classroom in 1967/8? I vaguely remember we had a big Tony the Tiger poster with him in a space suit and we all got Tony buttons.

J.D. Cannon age 83 I'm sorry but right now I cannot find a photo, although I can clearly see his face in my mind. He played McCloud's boss and was on hundreds of tv shows over the years. His face would be very familiar to all of you. I'll keep looking, and, please, if you of you find a pix, please feel free to post it.

No problem, OGM! He certainly does have a recognizable face, but the name was not familiar to me at all.

Anne Bancroft, Actress Who Played Mrs. Robinson, Is Dead at 73 NY Times Anne Bancroft, enshrined in film history as the iconic Mrs. Robinson, the seductress who devours her daughter's nerdy boyfriend-to-be (Dustin Hoffman) in the 1967 film "The Graduate," and also remembered for her sensitive portrayal on both stage and screen of Annie Sullivan, the teacher who leads the blind and deaf Helen Keller out of darkness into light in "The Miracle Worker," died Monday at Mount Sinai Medical Center. She was 73. The cause was uterine cancer, said John Barlow, a spokesman for the family. Those widely dissimilar roles were emblematic of Ms. Bancroft's long career. During more than 50 years of acting in films, theater and television she played everything from Brecht's "Mother Courage" to the mother superior of a convent, and from an aging ballerina to the Prime Minister Golda Meir of Israel, and repeatedly won praise for her work. Arthur Penn, who directed her award-winning Broadway performances in "Two for the Seesaw" and "The Miracle Worker," both by William Gibson, put it this way: "More happens in her face in 10 seconds than happens in most women's faces in 10 years." Ms. Bancroft worked hard to get beneath the surface, to inhabit a role as deeply as possible. While rehearsing for "The Miracle Worker," she put tape over her eyes to better understand what it was like to be blind like Helen Keller, learned sign language and spent time at a home for the visually impaired. Preparing for "Golda," she traveled to Israel and got to know and observe Prime Minister Meir. She was more interested in performance than theory, although she was a member of the Actors Studio early in her career. The actor Rod Steiger once gave her a copy of Stanislavsky's writings on acting. "I still have it," she said some years later, "but I've never read it." The landmarks in Ms. Bancroft's acting life were, unquestionably, the two Gibson plays and "The Graduate." She had already accumulated a long list of credits in TV dramas when she moved to Hollywood in the early 1950's to join the crowd of young hopefuls jostling for jobs in second- or third-rate films. She was among the few who found steady work, appearing in more than a dozen grade-C features with titles like "Treasure of the Golden Condor," "Gorilla at Large" - "I played the title role" - and "Demetrius and the Gladiators." Disenchanted after five years or so, and newly divorced, she headed back to New York with the promise of an audition for a new Broadway play called "Two for the Seesaw." [...]

Oh Wow! I didn't even know she had been ill. What a loss to the entertainment world. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Brooks and their family.

Now THAT was an actress. I saw her in so many things. A real woman, who embraced life. She lived it.
