And anybody who knows me is connected by another degree to 'bout anybody who is anybody in the world? I have connection to big-time Hollywood and connection to U.S. government, politicos, world leaders (at least in the comparatively not too distant past).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Steve Landesberg, who played Detective Sgt. Arthur Dietrich in the long-running 1970s TV show Barney Miller, has died at age 65. Landesberg was known to younger audiences as the pediatrician in the 2008 movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. usatoday.com
He died of cancer. I admired his acting.

RIP Teena Marie http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/26/teena.marie.dead/index.html?hpt=T1 (CNN) -- Teena Marie, a celebrated R&B singer-songwriter, was found dead Sunday at her California home, her manager said. Born Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, California, the 54-year-old artist famously paired with late funk legend Rick James and was nominated four times for a Grammy Award, according to her official website. Marie was found dead by her daughter after apparently dying in her sleep, manager Mike Gardner said. "Teena was a black voice trapped in a white body," said Cathy Hughes, founder of Radio One, a broadcasting company that targets African-American and urban listeners. "I would always tell her that she was one of the greatest vocalists of our time." Among her songs were "Lovergirl," "Portuguese Love," "Ooo La La La," and "I'm a Sucker for Your Love." While no cause of death has been released, the singer's publicist Lynn Jeter said that Marie suffered a grand mal seizure -- a neurological event, marked by loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions, according to the Mayo Clinic -- a month ago. "Luckily, someone was there," Jeter said of that seizure. "The ambulance took her to the hospital, and on the way she had another seizure." The publicist said that she had a "great" conversation on Saturday with Marie, who told her that she was excited about heading to Atlanta to perform this week -- in what would have been her first performance since the seizure. Marie sang under various record labels, including Motown, Epic and Cash Money Classics, since bursting on the scene as a 19-year-old, according to her website. Her most recent album, Sapphire, features collaborations with Smokey Robinson, Kurupt and Gerald Albright. Eddie Levert, founder of the vocal group The O'Jays, praised Marie as both a singer and mother. "There are a lot of black people who swore by her and believed in her, as far as her music was concerned," he said. "She was a good mom, and to me, that is saying a lot.''

Tish, I feel like I lost a close friend. I have been crying all night. Facebook has a memorial for her and there is a neat site I found http://teenamarietv.socialgo.com/ they are playing songs I havent heard in years. I am home alone today so I have been cranking the sound up loud! and dancing in my room...just like I used to do. Her daughter is beautiful and is talented. Expect to hear more from her over the years. Alia's bday was yesterday, so very sad. Professionally she goes by Rose LeBeau

Pamy, there is a blurb on the front page of The Register today, with an article (not real long, though) on page 6 of News/front section. I didn't watch TV news last night. She lived in Santa Monica, so you'd have thought it would have made the LA news.

Here's a nice 1980 LA Times profile of Teena, called "I Wish I was Colorless": link

thx for the info!! as I was leaving for work fox 11 had a little 30 sec spot about her. She had over 13 albums and I believe many went gold or platnum, she has been in industry for 30 yrs. I guess I just feel she deserved to be mentioned in the first 10 min of the broadcast
