I just now heard on our local news that Gov. Anne Richards passed away today. I didn''t hear the details, but I'm sure will hear more in the morning. She was a Grand Lady! And will be very much missed.

Former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, the witty and flamboyant Democrat who went from homemaker to national political celebrity, died Wednesday night at her home in Austin surrounded by her family after a battle with cancer, a family spokeswoman said. She was 73. I'll never forget her speech at the Democratic convention ... made me more proud to be a Democrat! Rest in Peace Ann.

TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) - Teenage actor Pablo Santos, who starred in the television series "Greetings from Tucson," died after a small plane in which he was riding crashed in Mexico, a hospital official said Saturday. The Piper Malibu crashed Friday just over a mile short of the runway as it was making its approach to the airport in Toluca, some 35 miles west of Mexico City, according to the Mexico State Security Agency. Six other people were hospitalized. Santos, 19, was taken to the Social Security Hospital, where he died Friday, hospital spokeswoman Irma Garcia Guardarrama said. Santos starred as the son of a Mexican-American family portrayed in "Greetings from Tucson," which ran on the WB network from 2002 to 2003. He had appeared in numerous episodes on other television programs, including "Boston Public,""Law & Order" and "American Family," as well as films such as "Sea of Dreams" and "Party Animalz." Born in Monterrey, Santos moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was 12. Officials were investigating the cause of the accident.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actor Pat Corley, who served sage advice along with drinks as Phil the barkeep on "Murphy Brown," has died. He was 76. Corley, a native of Dallas, died of congestive heart failure Sept. 11 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to his son, actor-comedian Jerry Corley. The elder Corley had undergone surgery for the placement of coronary stents, his son said Thursday. Pat Corley's five-decade career included roles in the films "Coming Home,""True Confessions" and "Against All Odds." He appeared on "Murphy Brown," the CBS sitcom starring Candice Bergen as a hard-driving TV newswoman, from 1988-96. Among his other TV roles was a questionable baseball team owner on "The Bay City Blues" and coroner Wally Nydorf on "Hill Street Blues." The latter role was his favorite by far, his son said. "It was meaty," Jerry Corley said. "He got to really do work, and on television it's usually just small pieces." His performance drew praise from one highly valued source. "Laurence Olivier called him up and said, 'That's the finest television acting I have ever witnessed,'" Jerry Corley recounted. "My dad's not starstruck, but he was, 'Oh, man.'" Corley got his start in theater. He appeared in summer stock in California, where he met his wife, Iris, also an actress. After moving to New York he acted in on- and off-Broadway plays. Besides Jerry Corley, his survivors include son Kevin, daughters Troy Corley and Christina Pratt and 12 grandchildren. Iris Corley died a year ago and a daughter, Michelle, died about 10 years ago at age 29, Jerry Corley said. A memorial service was scheduled for Saturday in Northridge.

Not Pat Corley! That is very sad, I just loved him. Here's a photo:
Also sad about Pablo Santos. He was just so young. I always find it so shocking when someone so young dies.

Steve Irwin's public memorial service will be shown on Animal Planet tomorrow, Tuesday the 19th. By that time it will be Wednesday in Australia, so don't get confused. Best to check your own sources to see when it will be on your cable or satellite. I read that it will be repeated later, probably very early Wednesday morning.

I was just watching a retrospective on Jayne Mansfield and they interviewd Mickey. He started crying as he described Jayne's last phone call to him. I hope he got to see his grandson.
