*sigh* it is my sad news to report that Fred Berry, aka: "Rerun" from the show What's Happening, died in his sleep sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
I, for one, am heartbroken...

okay, maybe not the most famous name, but Penny Singleton, the actress who's best known as the voice of Jane Jetson, died Wednesday... I already posted something about that here... _________________ "The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the principles you live by, you will change your world." -Blaine Lee

That was a while ago, and I don't know, I wasn't really posting much in here for a couple weeks... I was going to, but it slipped my mind... but yeah, thanks for reminding me... But I used to watch The Honeymooners all the time as a kid, and "Norton" was my favorite character. Always immitated (especially by Barney Rubble), but never to be duplicated...

Yeah, him too... and he was even earlier this year... He's most well known for his work on Good Will Hunting, but he also released five albums, and was working on his sixth before he died. I was actually a fan of one of his albums, Figure 8, which is an album I suggest y'all take a listen to, or at least the single Son of Sam... his music is bluesy, moody and emotional, and I still chill out to some of his licks when I need to just relax... I can compare his sound to something like the Beatles, only much less happy...

Sideshow and circus performer legend Manuel Diaz Aceves, aka: "The Incredible Wolf Man" (1938-November 7, 2003); born with Hypertrichosis, an inheritable disease that causes abnormal body hair growth, most notably on the face (98% of his face was covered with hair; he even grew it on his eyelids and the tip of his nose); part of a family of circus performers, most of which also have Hypertrichosis, and dubbed himself the patriarch of the "Wolf People"; has appeared on 'Ripley's Believe or Not,' 'Guinness World Record,' 'The Sally Jesse Raphael Show,' 'The Dr. Joyce Brown Show,' 'TLC - Myths & Monsters,' 'TLC - Legends,' 'Discovery Channel - Sideshow Special' and 'Ver Para Creer'.

Director/filmmaker Elia Kazan (September 7 1909 - September 28, 2003); director of such films as A Streetcar Named Desire, East of Eden, Spledor in the Grass, The Last Tycoon, Gentleman's Agreement and On the Waterfront (the last two he won Oscars for); testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, resulting in the "blacklisting" of numerous actors and directors in Hollywood, which left a stigma on his name for the rest of his life; many of the people he testified against were close friends; practiced the "Method" style of acting
other pro-wrestling icons that died earlier this year:

no, just most of them were really old, and the rigors of having to jump off of ring ropes everyday to earn your bread finally caught up to them...

It’s a sad day as classic composer Michael Kamen finally lost his battle with multiple sclerosis. In his lifetime he wrote scores for ballets and also worked on David Bowie's tour for his DIAMOND DOGS albumalong with Metallica's S&M live show/album. He will be best known by many, though, for his memorable scores on films such as DIE HARD, LETHAL WEAPON, HIGHLANDER and X-MEN. Our thoughts go out to his wife and two daughters.
