I loved watching his shows when I was a kid. At least he lived a long, successful life.

Gene Barry was also in The Name of the Game. That show kept me up late on Sunday nights for years (procrastinating going to bed so the weekend would last longer). I've enjoyed watching Gene Barry over the years.

:-( Very sad about Gene Barry, he gave me many happy tv watching hours, with Burkes Law and Name of the Game. (Wish they had more shows like that these days...)

I'm sure that some of you of a 'certain' age will remember Richard Todd and his delicious Irish accent. I didn't even know he had passed away until I read it in a magazine a little while ago. He passed away about 10 days ago at age 90.



Born in Ireland, Richard Todd spent a few of his childhood years in India, where his father served as an army physician. Later his family relocated to West Devon, England. Todd trained for a potential military career at Sandhurst before inaugurating his acting training at the Italia Conta school. He helped organize the Dundee Repertory Theatre, then spent six years' service in World War II, first as an officer in the Yorkshire Light Infantry, then as a paratrooper with the 6th Airbourne. Todd was among those who parachuted into France during the D-Day Invasion of 1944; eighteen years later, he played a cameo in Darryl F. Zanuck's D-Day recreation The Longest Day (1946).

Pentecostal evangelist Oral Roberts died today of complications from pneumonia. He was 91.

Roberts was hospitalized after a fall on Saturday.

“If God had not, in His sovereign will, raised up the ministry of Oral Roberts, the entire charismatic movement might not have occurred," Jack Hayford, president of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, said in a statement. "Oral shook the landscape with the inescapable reality and practicality of Jesus’ whole ministry. His teaching and concepts were foundational to the renewal that swept through the whole church. He taught concepts that spread throughout the world and simplified and focused a spiritual lifestyle that is embraced by huge sectors of today’s church.”

The Tulsa World has a lengthy obituary and special section on Roberts, who founded Oral Roberts University.

He was a pioneer of the healing evangelism movement in the 1940s and ’50s and of radio and television ministry, which made his a household name to generations of Americans.

Roberts’ life was fashioned by what he described as a call to take “God’s healing power” to his generation, and every major effort he undertook was to that end.

I guess I never got over him telling all those people that if they didn't send in their money he was going to die. Some didn't have so much money..

Also Roy Disney has died.. at the same hospital where both of my parents spent their last days.

I will always think of her as Bernadette. I used to love watching The Song of Bernadette when I was young.

I hate to say this but certain drugs will cause cardiac arrest. I hope that isn't the case.
How sad that she died.

My friend's niece died about a week ago from Roxycodene and Vicodin usage. She was 20.

That's really....odd.

I think I read a story earlier this month that said Ms Murphy's husband had stopped breathing while on an airplane and had to be revived.

She was one of my favorites. Just something about her. I think she stole Clueless.

Tai: Why should I listen to you, anyway? You're a virgin who can't drive.
Cher: That was way harsh, Tai.
