Radio, TV pioneer Ralph Edwards, 92 Ralph Edwards, the radio and TV pioneer who created such enduring programs as "This Is Your Life" and "Truth or Consequences," has died, the Associated Press reported. He was 92. Edwards was widely recognizable as the host of "This Is Your Life," which debuted on radio in the 1940s and moved to TV in 1952 for a nine-season run on NBC. He later hosted a syndication version from 1971-73. More recently, Edwards' production company was the home of the syndicated hit that launched the court show genre, "The People's Court," with retired Judge Joseph Wapner presiding from 1981-93. But it was "This Is Your Life" that made Edwards a household name. The show's premise was to surprise someone (usually a celebrity) on the air and profile his or her life. At other times, the show paid tribute to everyday people with extraordinary stories, such as a 1953 episode revolving around Holocaust survivor Hanna Bloch Kohner. Invariably, the honorees were surprised and thrilled with the appearance of old friends, mentors and other important figures in their lives. LINK Note: A new This is Your Life is returning with Regis Philbin as host.

I remember watching his show. Heard and interview with Bob Barker and he could hardly talk, he was so broken up.

Soccer legend George Best dies George Best, regarded as one of soccer's all-time greatest players, died Friday at the age of 59. The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland star had been in critical condition in the intensive care unit of a London hospital for a week. "After a long and very vigilant fight, Mr. George Best died this afternoon in the intensive care unit at Cromwell Hospital," the hospital said in a statement. Doctors had said earlier Friday that it was unlikely he would survive the day. Best, who needed a liver transplant three years ago after decades of alcohol abuse, saw his condition worsen Thursday, with internal bleeding affecting his lungs and other organs. Best was also unconscious and unable to breathe without a ventilator. Best had been hospitalized since Oct. 1. His condition deteriorated last week when he was diagnosed with a lung infection and was put on life support on Saturday. (...)

George Best was a huge football star in the UK when I was a kid, as big as Beckham is now I guess but without the $$$$. Its sad that he had such a struggle with alcohol. Another personal icon passes. Rest in peace Georgie.

Omg that is sad. She was so great in the movie, Driving School, and also in I wanna hold your hand. I used to do some acting years ago, and I tried out for a part in a television sitcom, it was called Babes. It was about 3 sisters, all a little on the heavy side LOL, When I tried out for the part, I actually read for it with her. She was very helpful. I didn't get the part, they gave it to a woman named Susan Peretz. At the time, I was too small for the role LMAO.

Interesting story, Ginger!! I used to watch that show, so I know exactly who you are talking about. Sadly, Susan passed away last year, also of breast cancer. Wendie Jo and Nell Carter were true inspirations to me growing up....they showed that you could be overweight and sexy, and I've taken that lesson and run with it ever since. R.I.P., Wendie Jo!!
