I remember them too

RIP David Prowse, the original Darth Vader

I didn't know he was the bodybuilder guy from Clockwork Orange

David Prowse and Peter Mayhew. two large men who became famous as actors and the audience never heard their voice in their most popular roles.

And on the less than important list:

Squiggy dead at 73. Peace.

Wow!

One of my favorite TV characters.

RIP Squiggy

He and Lenny did the Kramer entrance before Kramer.

Much more important than George Michael IMO but not sure if thread worthy. oot Mods feel free to move to its own thread if deemed worthy.

Chuck far more important than George but less well-known, so ???

Saw Chuck Yeager speak a few years ago (2014?). He seemed near the end at the time. Glad I got a chance to see him while he was still with us, but his speech was more of an incoherent ramble. Still, sad to see him go.

Rip DEEBO

I know the man as Zeus!


RIP

Man, I was just getting ready to post jokingly that I did a wellness check on Deebo Samuel and then Tiny Lister...and then it turns out you really were talking about Tiny Lister. ****. RIP.

Getting ZERO credit among my friends for restraining myself from saying he got knocked the EFF out.

COVID-19 has unfortunately claimed Charley Pride (a month after he performed indoors on the CMA Awards after being presented a lifetime achievement award).

Damn! The pride of Sledge, Mississippi.

RIP Charley.

My mother loved Charley Pride. I remember hearing him all the time when I was a kid.

Roll on Mississippi.

pops had a couple of Charlie Pride albums.

bit of trivia: he was on the first episode of Hee Haw

Charley Pride, the baseball player

RIP Ann Reinking. 71.

I had the pleasure of seeing her during the first few weeks of her revival of Chicago and she [and Bebe] were abso-effing-lutely mind-blowing. In my decade+ in Manhattan that was undoubtedly the best musical or play I saw out of several dozen. I sat in the 6th row, left, and was totally enthralled. She justly won the Tony for choreography.

I've never seen anyone move like that on the stage, or, anywhere else for that matter. And I'll never forget the way both of them danced together on stage, while singing and acting, it seemed quite impossible how amazing they could be doing this live, on stage, right in front of you. No mistakes, no mis-steps, no wrong notes.

MF DOOM

One of the greatest to ever do it. Intricate and bizarre bars, incredible flow, your favourite MC's favourite MC etc. Madvillainy is one of the best albums ever and has zero hooks or choruses, just reliant on Madlib's beats and DOOM's wordplay. RIP

One for the money
Two for the better green

Ex-Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda has died.

Lifelong Giants fan, but have to show respect for one of the all-time rants.

NSFW and the audio is very loud
