RIP Arnold Stang

He was the Chunky man when I was little, but also Top Cat fercrissakes. You all probably know more about him than I but if he was on the tube you knew hilarity would result.

R.I.P. Bea Arthur

As a kid, I wasn't allowed to watch MAUDE because my parents thought it was too controversial, which only made me want to watch it more. I became a big fan of Bea Arthur and even enjoyed her work in GOLDEN GIRLS. In memory of her more scandalous times, here's a video of Bea and the Rock singing about recreational drug use.

RIP, Roy Scheider

Damn. I went thru a whole Roy Scheider thing ... I love those sexy, wiry Jews. And think about it: French Connection, Klute, Marathon Man, Jaws and All That Jazz. In one decade? That's pretty amazing.
