Freddie Starr died today and I looked on Wikipedia to see how it happened.

I think someone might have been trolling the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Starr#Death

RIP Peggy Lipton, 72. **** cancer.

She was great as Norma in Twin Peaks. I had a crush on her when she was in the Mod Squad and I had a crush on her as Norma. Even when she was 70.

That's a damn shame. A very dignified lady, and a great part of one of the magnificent love stories in Twin Peaks

Peggy Lipton gone - sad. I too had a crush on her when she was the cool babe from Mod Squad. The straight hair was very in.

RIP

some people probably don't realize that Rashida Jones, of The Office and Parks and Rec, is the daughter of Peggy Lipton.

One that always shocked me was how Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine are brother and sister. Sometimes I forget it, then hear it again and am surprised anew!

RIP Doris Day. A true icon when I was growing up. The Doris Day romcom/screwball comedy was extremely popular back in the day.

What film did Doris Day sing Que Sera Sera in? And Sly and the Family Stone do a cover version of it!

I thought it was The Glass Bottom Boat, but apparently it was The Man Who Knew Too Much

Yup. She sings it to her kid in the film. I think he sings it too, but haven't seen it in years.

Wasn't it Truman Capote who said, "I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin"?

Yeah, IIRC it was a very good movie except for the singing scene. Didn't think her singing was bad, it was just ridiculously out of place.

I like that there's a place I can go to on the internet where they not only know who Oscar Levant was, they even remember clever things he said!

Oscar Levant was spectacular in An American in Paris. Especially the dance sequences.

Ha! I never suspected that chain-smoking Oscar Levant could even walk, and there he was dancing.

I did not even know that sly bastard was still alive! RIP you funny guy! He was great in McHales Navy, as the old timers will remember.

Leslie Caron is still alive.

PS: old-timers? Oldtimers? What the hell, I don't remember.
