Earl Holliman Dies: ‘Police Woman' & ‘Forbidden Planet' Actor With Dozens Of Film & TV Credits Was 96 (Until earlier this year with the death of Charles Dierkop, Police Woman had been the oldest tv show, debuting in 1974, with all of its principal cast still alive.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/earl-holliman-dies-police-woman-forbidden-planet-actor-with-dozens-of-film-tv-credits-was-96/ar-AA1uOrcK?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=2cfe6db1d072456085b96f21e1d5ad51&ei=22

It's beautiful isn't it? I fell so in love with that performance at the time I promptly went and bought the Revelations by Alvin Ailey cd just for that song.

The first time I heard of Judith Jamison was when she got the Kennedy Center Honor in 1999. I saved the video because I thought it was so beautiful. The AA dancers performed to Rocka My Soul and it's been on my playlist ever since. R.I.P.

GH Did Luke have a fake funeral in the early 80s he was first involved with Holly? He was presumed killed in an avalanche but was injured and being held by DVX agents (their version of the KGB). That's when the whole Robert & Holly relationship began because she was going to be deported so Robert married her. Also, if someone remembers better than I...was there a fake funeral for Laura in the 90s when she and Luke were trying to protect Lesley from the Cassadines? I seem to recall a story about them faking Laura's death and then Laura shocking Amy and everyone else at the hospital when she burst in in desperation for them to help her mother and everybody realized that both Laura and Lesley were alive.

Oh, wow, this stunned me. I'm mostly familiar with his various appearances in the Star Trek franchise. The DS9 episode, "The Visitor", where he plays an adult Jake Sisko, is one of the most highly regarded of the series. And in other episodes where he's under tons of makeup and prosthetics, that voice was unmistakeable.

Elwood Edwards, Iconic Voice of the Early Internet Dies at 74 (For those of us on AOL back in the day, his was the voice that said "You've Got Mail." ) https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/iconic-voice-of-the-early-internet-dies-at-74/ar-AA1tHrKs?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=1193992dd08944acbb2daebf09b78e0e&ei=40

I still have the 45 of this and I have it on my ipod shuffle (yes, I still have some old working tech, lol). I remember being introduced to it through GH, Luke and Holly's theme.

'Tarzan' star Ron Ely dead at 86 https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tarzan-star-ron-ely-dead-86

He really was one of those great, dependable character actors that was good in any medium and not niched...film, soaps, prime time, etc. Very enjoyable to watch. Actually, John Noble's character on Fringe, Walter Bishop, reminded me a lot of Victor Collins.

Thanks! It's been so long I forgot that his character didn't originate on PC where I mostly identified him.

I didn't think he did but some articles on his death are referencing GH so it made me wonder.

He was such a familiar face throughout film and tv but I especially loved him as the eccentric Victor on Port Charles. I'm curious, as I haven't watched GH for over 20 years, how often/long did he show up there after PC's cancellation?

I don't recall producers but I used to wonder who at ABC had a huge thing for Thorsten Kaye, being ubiquitous on OLTL, PC and AMC.

Was he the last surviving member of that cast? It's occurred to me that we lost at least 3 actors this year who appeared in the original Roots: John Amos, James Earl Jones and Lou Gossett.

Wow, in just the last few years, a number of those first-year Ryan's Hope actors have left us: Ron Hale, John Gabriel, Michael Levin, Michael Hawkins. I actually thought Ron Hale was older. Even though he was under 30 when RH started, he seemed older than that to me.

I always felt Good Times lost its heart when John Amos left. I tend to find the seasons afterwards pretty unwatchable. Apparently, he passed on August 21 and it was just announced.

Clayton Norcross (B&B) is currently appearing on the Italian version of Big Brother, Grande Fratello. I'm not really familiar with him other than by sight but his Italian is pretty good. https://www.grandefratello.mediaset.it/video/clayton-norcross-e-l-amore_F313495501009C18.shtml

I'm looking forward to seeing Eric Roberts. That's a pretty nice coup! He's one of the busiest, most prolific actors around. I think he's at or near the top of most credits on IMDB for a living actor, over 600 productions. I've even seen him in a few Italian films/miniseries. I'm older, not into sports, bachelors or Disney, lol, so I know like 3 of the contestants...pretty much every year.
