Michael Gray, Former Teen Idol and Star of ‘Shazam!,’ Dies at 75 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/michael-gray-dead-shazam-1236738709/

@slick jones How did you embed the video of Mike Forest into the post? I tried with my post but I could only link to it.

I posted this earlier this year when it first came out but I think it bears reposting now. It's nice that Michael Forest was able to get that gift. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enfRa08cMYs

Not a news item, just a discovery. Ken Meeker, who played Asa's nephew, Rafe Garretson, on OLTL for the entire 80s decade is a social worker in NYC, with a focus on palliative care. https://guidingwishes.com/about/

R.I.P. Gerrit Graham. https://www.legacy.com/legacy/notable-deaths/gerrit-graham Also appeared in ST: Voyager as Quinn, the Q who wanted to end his life.

Rest in peace, James Sloyan. https://www.facebook.com/TrekCentral/posts/%EF%B8%8F-rip-actor-james-sloyan-sloyan-appeared-in-startrek-thenextgeneration-as-the-ro/1705729141556427/ I first remember seeing him on Ryan's Hope as the cop Mitch Bronski, opposite Marg Helgenberger. Then that unmistakeable voice in the Lexus commercials. And I've seen him across the 80s-90s era of Star Trek shows.

Sigh...Princess Diana died on my sister's birthday. Dolly died on mine. 😞 To update an earlier passing--that of fitness trainer Gilad a couple of months ago--his reps have revealed that he died of suicide. (I've just copied the first couple of paragraphs of their statement.) "To our community and all of Gilad’s supporters, Since Gilad’s passing, many of you have kindly reached out with questions regarding the circumstances of his death. Out of respect for his family and while we awaited the final findings from the Medical Examiner's office, we have not shared details publicly until now. With the official report now entering the public record, we want to address this transparently: while the Medical Examiner has determined Gilad's cause of death to be suicide, his heartbroken family is still struggling to understand the circumstances that led to this tragedy."

Leslie Parrish, Batman and The Manchurian Candidate actress, dies at 90 She died in 2025 but her stepdaughter just confirmed it to Variety. https://ew.com/leslie-parrish-dead-batman-and-perry-mason-actress-was-90-12066011 Her Star Trek appearance (Who Mourns For Adonais?, S02, E02) is most familiar to me.

The mention of Dorian's pronunciation of Carlotta reminds me of The Doctors' Steve Aldrich pronunciation of Dr. Karen Werner. Yes, she came off the plane complete with a German accent, but he was the only one who pronounced her name with a German emphasis, like Ver-ner. I wondered if that was David O'Brien's choice or if it was done to emphasize Steve's cosmopolitan background. Also, I'm guessing they just wrote in James Pritchett's pipe-smoking habit. Didn't that stink? Maybe that generation and those actors were used to it. That smell would make me sick. On EON, I remember Raven smirking a lot, even during casual conversations. Maybe it was meant to show Raven's self-satisfaction and confidence but it often felt to me like Sharon Gabet was smirking just having fun with the character.

No, I'm just kind of dealing with it since none of the fixes seemed to apply to me. I also noticed something I hadn't noticed before. When I arrive to the board's main page, it shows me as not logged in. But if I click to a topic from there, suddenly I'm logged in.
