Massive icons like Aretha Franklin or Donna Summer will certainly continue to get their own threads when they pass, but I figured it might be worth having a place to honor lesser-known celebrities who have left us, especially because we can’t see status updates (which is where a lot of those announcements were made on here previously).
 

But the great actor Ian Holm has died at 88:

Courteney Cox also posted on her Instagram. I don't know how to embed. But she also put up the London bed scene along with her post.

The actual scene, and an outtake with her and Matthew.

Seems sort of fitting that LeBlanc and Cox would be the first two to honor Perry, considering Monica and Joey's connections to Chandler.

Iconic song. May Ms. Knight R.I.P.

Yesterday's GH last image. I know some people missed it because of a pre-emption at the end of the show. Brought it home to me, again. I just can't seem to shake my feelings of grief about Tyler. Well, at least we can honor him.

Sigh. RIP. May light perpetual shine upon her. 

Loved her in this Stephen King thing. I think it was called Golden Days, not sure. And she was in Another World. I'll have to read the obit because I'm sure she has credits out the back door & around again. Oh, Kyra Sedgwick's mother in The Closer!

and, according to her imdb page, ‘love of life’ (1967-8) and ‘secret storm’ (1973-4).

not surprising — so very many ny stage actors were on soaps.
