Her comment was the first thing I looked for when I saw the news and I was touched by everything she had to say. One thing surprised me -- I think I had imagined that the show was a vehicle for Richard Lewis and Jamie Lee must have been cast for him. (But it has been a very long time since I have seen it and it is also possible that some of my memories of it got scrambled with Mad About You and Paul Reiser).

I thought of her right off the bat. I didn't know she snorts when she laughs. Love that, I do, too. Richard Lewis being gone strangely is like a punch in the stomach. 

If you took film theory classes, you know David Bordwell’s work well. R.I.P.

 

RIP the incredible David Bordwell. He was a mentor to me long before I got to meet him, and he was a mentor to me formally for a long time after, offering notes on things I was writing, sharing my work, and giving me counsel on all matters. A great mind, a great man. pic.twitter.com/wKMoCp9UDs

RIP the legendary David Bordwell, who has died at 76.

His blog is one of the greatest resources on film criticism, analysis, and history: https://t.co/oIWRZycLP8 pic.twitter.com/9Xsj6qiQNa

Very sorry to hear about Steve Lawrence. I'm glad his suffering is over. There was a certain cultural sneering toward Steve and Eydie (my first memory of them is the somewhat infamous Frank Sinatra Group SNL sketch which tore them apart as worthless hangers-on [Sinatra loathed Phil Hartman's take on him]), but I find them likeable and charming, much more than a number of patter duos over the years.

I enjoyed his appearances on Carol's show. He did very well with comedy.

I was talking to a friend about how much I love the Raspberries’ song “Go All the Way.” Such an underrated band and of course he had a very successful solo career. R.I.P.

The last time I heard of Carmen was for his Trump support, which tends to make me wonder if he would even want some of us to remember him, but in spite of that, I did love a lot of his '70s and '80s work - a very rich pop. This is my favorite:

 

 

RIP!

Beth Peters, Actor on ‘General Hospital,’ Dies at 92

She played Mrs. Whitaker in the first L & L on the run storyline.

 

This death was in 1995 but this interesting & fairly elaborate post just showed up. Richard Guthrie was one of the David Banning's on DAYS. He was playing the role when they went bold & edgy & did an early interracial relationship between him & Valerie Grant & the whole Grant family actually was involved in a great story. But, to the point here, RIP Richard Guthrie, how awful losing him at only 45 years old.
