I am surprised he lasted this long.

Well, he wasn't all original parts.

There was another French lady who lived until she was 122, Jeanne Calment, her age was documented.

Wasn't she the one who recorded a rap record in her late nineties, and only gave up smoking at the tail end of her eighties because her eyesight wasn't so great anymore and she had trouble seeing to light them properly?

R.I.P., Lloyd Morrisett.

Noting the death of Mr. Marshall Tucker who, like Leonard Skinner inspired the name of a band he never played in.

Very sad. I've heard it said by many a goth lady over the years that a goth girl becomes a woman the day she stops aspiring to be Morticia, and instead wants to be Wednesday. Truly iconic; it's nice at least to see that she lived on long enough to see the role she created ascend as such.

Seconded. Caroline Jones overshadowed the entire cast with her beauty but page turned in memory with Ms Loring's passage.

Great songwriter, arranger and producer. Lucky man to have found a great lyricist, Hal David, and muse, Dionne in his career. Amazing range of talent. Who could imagine one person writing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "North to Alaska" AND "Walk on By" plus "The Look of Love"? Whatta range! Good innings to boot!

You left out the theme from " The Blob."

Chuck Norris remarked that his mate McQueen stayed inside for a week after The Blob's theater release.

There is art and then there is that which we must do in order to pay rent and eat!

It's not a bad little ditty. Nice sax solo.

Yeah, but he co-wrote that with Mack David. Amateurs.

Mom always liked Hal best.

To those of us of a certain age, who admire beautiful women, there was always The One.

There were others - Jeannie, Mary Ann - but there was always The One.

A stunningly beautiful woman. RIP.

Yes Rachel was a true wonder but I'm still in the Ursula Andres camp myself.... still that's like choosing between gold covered platinum and platinum covered gold. Sigh.....
