I'll miss Wendy Richard. I really grew to love EastEnders when it was on our local station. No more Pauline. I grew up listening to Paul Harvey. First his noon news and commentary program, and then "The Rest of the Story". You think people will go on forever but they don't. This is Paul Harvey.............................Good day.

Everyone thinks that the will go on forever and they won't. That is exactly why we need to live everyday to our fullest and as if each day is your last. Hard words to live by.

Award-winning writer Horton Foote dead at 92 (Reuters) – Horton Foote, whose plays and scripts about the longing and struggles of small-town life won him two Academy Awards, an Emmy and a Pulitzer Prize, has died at the age of 92. Foote, whose best-known works included the Oscar-winning scripts for "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Tender Mercies," died on Wednesday in Hartford, Connecticut, after a brief illness, his daughter, actress Hallie Foote, told the New York Times. Many of Foote's tales were set in the fictional town of Harrison, which was based on his hometown of Wharton, Texas, a farming community about 50 miles southwest of Houston. <SNIP> Foote eventually put aside acting and wrote plays for Broadway and scripts for television dramas throughout the 1940s and '50s. He eventually tried screenplays and won his first Oscar in 1962 for his adaptation of Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." The second Oscar came in 1983 for "Tender Mercies," starring Robert Duvall as a broken country music singer in need of redemption. Foote was nominated for the 1985 film "The Trip to Bountiful," a version of one of his plays that won an Oscar for Geraldine Page as a woman trying to reconnect with her small-town Texas roots. Other popular movies he wrote included Steve McQueen's "Baby, the Rain Must Fall," based on the Foote play "The Traveling Lady," and "The Chase," which starred Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. His television works included episodes for theater-oriented shows and "Old Man," a 1997 Emmy-winning adaptation of a William Faulkner story. <SNIP> http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090305/people_nm/us_foote_3

I loved him as Bruno. My favorite episode was the night of the reelection and he kept trying to score with the ladies, being the successful Bruno and he kept getting interrupted by CJ. He was also in a nice movie many years back, played a widower and his sister was raising his kids.

Ron Silver dies at 62 Actor Ron Silver died this morning after a two-year battle with esophageal cancer, the New York Post reports. Silver, 62, had a long, distinguished career on stage, screen and television. He's probably best known for his recurring role as Bruno Gianelli on The West Wing and for his portrayal of famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz in the 1990 film Reversal of Fortune, starring Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons. Silver won the Tony Award for Best Actor in 1988 for David Mamet's Speed the Plow. His family is making arrangements for a private service.

I almost forgot Reversal of fortune. One of the great lines in movie history, Ron Silver aka Dershowitz says to Jeremy Irons aka Klaus von Bulow, you are a very scary guy and Irons says "you have no idea"

NEW YORK (AP) -- Natasha Richardson, a gifted and precocious heiress to acting royalty whose career highlights included the film "Patty Hearst" and a Tony-winning performance in a stage revival of "Cabaret," died Wednesday at age 45 after suffering a head injury from a skiing accident. Alan Nierob, the Los Angeles-based publicist for Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, confirmed her death in a written statement. "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," the statement said. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

It IS incredibly sad! I read an article which said she was getting a lesson on a beginner hill. Seems you're not safe anywhere! I feel so bad for the family.

"She was removed from life support on Wednesday morning and died hours later." I'm sorry it appears the family didn't take advantage of her being an organ donor as I believe a donor has to be on life support all through the harvesting of the organs. I carry this poem with me at all times, have my driver's license marked as a donor and have told all my family of my wishes to be a donor: To Remember Me--A Poem by Robert N. Test by Robert N. Test, American Poet Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face, or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses, and all prejudice against my fellow man. Give my sins to the devil. Give my soul to God. If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.
