Goulet had a lung disease. It wasn't cancer.

I'm very sad about this, but it brings back great memories. Met Robert Goulet at the opening night party of South Pacific at the O'Keefe Centre here in Toronto, when he was on tour with it. I about swooned, he was so dapper and his speaking voice so dreamy. His costar was the lovely and gracious Barbara Eden, whom I interviewed in her suite, but I didn't stay long, as she was entertaining friends at the time. Anyhow, he will be missed.

SALT LAKE CITY—George Osmond, father of the famous singing family The Osmond Brothers, has died. Osmond passed away Tuesday morning in Utah. He was 90-years-old. A cause of death was not immediately available. The death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight's" Web site and was confirmed by The Associated Press through a spokeswoman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which Osmond was a member. Donny Osmond was in the ET studio getting ready to tape a segment for a show when he learned of his father's death. Marie Osmond performed Monday night on "Dancing With the Stars."

Interesting how no one has posted about Norman Mailer's passing. I don't miss him, never will. Maybe I'm not alone in this.

Just for everyone's information. I don't know a lot about him personally. Norman Kingsley Mailer (January 31, 1923 – November 10, 2007) was an American novelist, journalist, playwright, screenwriter and film director. Along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, and Tom Wolfe, Mailer is considered an innovator of creative nonfiction, a genre sometimes called New Journalism, but which covers the essay to the nonfiction novel. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize twice and the National Book Award once .... Link

Wow, I hadn't heard about him dying. That's a shame. He was a very smart and talented man.

It was Arthur Miller who was married to Marilyn Monroe. (I think) Norman Mailer wrote a book about her, though.

Any of a number of reasons, many of which are not fit to print here (at least not in my vernacular). His virulent, violent sexism is a chief complaint. He was also a near total a-hole according to most of his contemporaries. But I'm way into letting the dead be dead. Some people will miss him, I will not.

Nope not 'moking. 5 weeks on Monday and my husband is still hanging in there. Not worried about it, Tex an Ginger. I am an old-school boxing fan and Mailer was a vocal advocate of the sport. I learned to dislike him intensely years ago. Not going to expand on that, I just basically disliked (read "hate") him for any of a number of reasons. Not sorry he's dead, but not wishing him worse.
