I just watched his son's interview with Matt Lauer and I have to say that the apple didn't fall far from the tree and what a good thing that is!

Actress-dancer Cyd Charisse, June 17 Cyd Charisse, the long-legged Texas beauty who danced with the Ballet Russe as a teenager and starred in MGM musicals with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, died on June 17. She was 86. She appeared in dramatic films, but her fame came from the Technicolor musicals of the 1940s and 1950s. Charisse was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after suffering an apparent heart attack on June 16, said her publicist, Gene Schwan

She was quite a dancer, and very well known! I wish we still had dancing stars like Gene Kelley and Cyd Charisse. Class acts from the great era of movie musicals. ETA that wonderful scene from Singing in the Rain: link

Nyheat, I agree about missing the dancers. I love the old movie musicals with Gene Kelly, etc.

I didn't hear the news about Cyd Charisse 'til yesterday afternoon. It was such a shock because I had just watched a little of Brigadoon earlier in the day when I stopped off at my dad's house at lunchtime to check on Spencer. She was one of my absolute favorite dancers from the golden era. Very sad about the untimely passings of Tim Russert and Stan Winston too.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71. Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters. Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his "Filthy Words" routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court. (Reporting by Dean Goodman; Editing by Patricia Zengerle)

Yes, a lot of the famous have been dying off lately, and its sad to hear that George Carlin has joined that list. I remember him more for making you question authority and the status quo, more than for his famous 7 words you cant say routine.

I remember him more as Mr. Conductor on Thomas the Train tv show. So does my oldest daughter. One day when she was older, she came across his comedy show on HBO and she yelled out, "Hey Mom there is Mr. Conductor! He has a comedy show." Well she was surprised to find out he was a completely different person lol. She thought he was funny, but she missed her Mr. C.

He was an incredibly smart, funny man. We've lost a big talent.

Very sad about George. He was an icon. Also, the NHRA lost a star and family member Saturday. God Bless you Scott Kalitta. Thanks for the memories. My prayers are with you and your family.
