Members applcin Posted October 5, 2024 Members Share Posted October 5, 2024 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted October 5, 2024 Members Share Posted October 5, 2024 (edited) There have been so many high-profile deaths recently that this one almost slipped through unnoticed.... She also had a small but memorable role in Hitchcock's "Frenzy", among other things. Edited October 5, 2024 by I Am A Swede 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted October 7, 2024 Members Share Posted October 7, 2024 Imagine the pain she went through, outliving both her only daughter and her grandchild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted October 7, 2024 Members Share Posted October 7, 2024 (edited) Cissy Houston was also Dionne Warwick's aunt. The cousins singing, tweeted a few days before Cissy passed. Edited October 7, 2024 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 8, 2024 Members Share Posted October 8, 2024 (edited) I am such a fan of Miss Cissy's, and the storied history of the Drinkards has captivated me for years. What a gifted family. I adore her Gospel-tinged covers like The Beatles' Yesterday, and her soprano obbligato in Aretha's Ain't No Way steals the track. She is one of those celebs I wish I could have met and hugged. I hope her final days were peaceful and painless, Lord knows she'd been through enough.

Members DRW50 Posted October 8, 2024 Members Share Posted October 8, 2024 So much of Cissy's later years were about Whitney and their complex relationship that it can almost be hard to remember just how storied her career was. I think about the clip in the Greatest Love of All video with Whitney and her mother - that song has always been so beautiful to me, and now it means even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted October 14, 2024 Members Share Posted October 14, 2024 I believe so, @applcin. It's weird how most of the MTMS cast (minus Ted Knight) lived for so long; and then, in the span of a few years, they all passed away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 14, 2024 Members Share Posted October 14, 2024 Joyce Bulifant is still alive, although I don't know if she counts. (similarly, Lisa Gerritsen is still alive) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted October 16, 2024 Members Share Posted October 16, 2024 Translation: According to Argentine police, Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor of a building where he was staying in the country. We wish strength to the fans and family of the singer, who made history during his career inside and outside One Direction.
