This was the only photo I could find. Allan Melvin is on the right. It may be enough for you to call to mind who he was. His list of roles goes on forever. He was a mainstay for many years on tv in many different parts. I liked his voice.

I saw that Andy ep recently and it was funny to see him play a bad guy. He is one of those actors you know by face but not name.

RIP Allan, you will be missed

Mame, perhaps Vin would be a little bit less sad if he read about the anti-semitic comments made by Bobby in later years..

For the Canadians here:
Don Wittman dies of cancer at 71

He was a next-door neighbor to some family members of mine. When I was little, I went swimming in their pool! So sad! CFL and curling will NOT be the same.

Don Wittman combined the finest qualities of a sports broadcaster with his smooth delivery and his knowledge of the sports he covered. One of the best ever. May he rest in peace.

Sea, we talked about that... we agreed it was seriously pathetic that Bobby Fisher was anti-semitic since he was born Jewish! But that kind of idiotic self-loathing does happen.
I think DH was really bummed cuz it reminded him of the great loss of one of his very best friends to cancer 2 years ago - International Chess Master Bryon Nickoloff who was on the Canadian Team in the Chess Olympics a few years ago. (Bryon was at our wedding, and he & his galpal were crashing at Vin's pad when I first met Vin.)

This is hard to beleive. Suzanne always seemed so vibrant and full of life. The news article said she had lung cancer in 2006.

I have met her a few times and she was always a jewel. Her DH is Tom Posten, is he still alive?

Pamy...I heard a news report that she had been married two times and both her husbands had died. Also, she had no children.

OMG!! Heath Ledger

A New York Police Department spokesman says the actor Heath Ledger has been found dead at a downtown Manhattan residence.

The 28-year-old actor has a 2-year-old daughter with former fiancée Michelle Williams. He was set to play the Joker in the upcoming Batman film "The Dark Knight."

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today, law enforcement sources told TMZ they believe his death was not a crime.
