Ronnie Schell, 'Gomer Pyle' actor, dies at 94

I'd seen some of his shows/workouts but they intimidated me, lol. Richard Simmons was more my style. 😔

Olivia Newton-John

I remember reading months ago that Head's longtime girlfriend had died. Re-checking and she - Sarah Fisher - died in December. They were together for 40 years. Their daughters lost both parents in 5 months. https://pagesix.com/2026/06/05/celebrity-news/anthony-head-longtime-partner-sarah-fisher-died-months-apart/

I was curious to find out what James Handy's 2-day role was on Ryan's Hope in 1977. (He's one of those familiar faces to me whose name I didn't know but saw him in different things.) The character was "Red." He was the guy in the pub in Ireland that Jack and Mary visited on their 2nd honeymoon, the one who overheard them recognize the picture on the wall of Tom Desmond.

Not sure if it counts but Carolee Campbell (The Doctors) left acting and became a book designer/printer, creating Ninja Press. She's more on the artistic side of things.

Matt Clark. https://variety.com/2026/tv/obituaries-people-news/matt-clark-dead-back-to-the-future-3-1236690096/ When I saw his younger picture, I remembered him as Packy from "In the Heat of the Night". Very small role but big movie.

Ernie Anastos, Longtime New York City TV News Anchor, Dies at 82 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/ernie-anastos-dead-anchor-new-york-eyewitness-news-1236529432/ Another familiar face since my childhood.

Veteran Character Actor John Wheeler Dies at 95 https://www.thatericalper.com/2026/02/24/veteran-character-actor-john-wheeler-dies-at-95/ He was in one of my favorite Trek episodes, "Journey to Babel."

If anyone is interested in seeing Whoopi Goldberg on the Italian soap "Il Posto Al Sole", it looks like this person compiled her scenes and uploaded them in order on youtube (episode 1, 2, etc.). It's a 30-minute soap so the compilations are mostly 5-15 minutes long. I think her story is just about up. Maybe her last one on 2/23. Her character has been saying goodbye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJci0ZJeh_I

R.I.P. Demond Wilson. I believe he was the last surviving core cast member of S & S. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/demond-wilson-dead-sanford-son-lamont-1236490690/
