RIP: In Memoriam Thread

[Taoboi]

Ironically, I was just talking about Shannen last week with my co-worker and said the same thing. I...just felt it. But she has been so strong, but something told me I should start to brace myself. 

 

The good, the bad, the ugly. Shannen did keep it real for better or for worse which is why I respected her and admired her. There has been so many times in my life growing up I would truly think...what would Brenda do? Cuz her loner vibe with the group during their first year of college on BH resonated through as a teenager dealing with his identity. 

 

I forgot about Nightmare Classic!! But I adored her on Fairy Tale Theater as a kid with her expressive eyes and ethereal vibe. It has been surprising me over the last week how much she has done because I have not heard from her again up until last year. There are definitely films that have been mentioned that I will want to search for to watch her going forward. 

 

Yes. Richard and Dr. Ruth are both memories from my childhood that it just saddens me they are gone. They seem like they would be around forever.

I watched a thriller movie with her where she was stalked by her neighbor. I don't remember the name, but it was a cute movie and she was so stunning. I watched it with my husband just weeks ago.

Richard Simmons on WL was adventurous, giving and filled with fun. Just what you want in a improvisor. He was the main reason this sketch, in my humble opinion, is one of the funniest things that ever appeared on TV. RIP sir, and thank you.

I talked about Shannen with my mother just two days ago and that I will going to see her at the 90‘s con in September or whenever it was.. I was looking forward to it and wanted to get the chance to see her..

those news came as a shock when I was at work today.. I think the quickest to report on it was NBCNews and NYTimes on my phone. 
 

RIP.. Can’t believe we lost two big 90210 stars in their early 50‘s

Beautifully said. I will miss all those people you mentioned. Shine bright, stars, for they always shone so brightly for us. Shannen is a hard one, because she had that certain quality that made you compelled to watch her (they all did!). I followed her on Instagram, so proud of the woman she became. She never lost her fight. She was feisty even as she showed us her deepest vulnerabilities and fears. RIP, powerful Shannen. And hugssss, my dear friend.

I was working on writing about Dubai, but...I can't seem to stop crying.

Thank you, dear friend. I really needed that hug.

A huge hug to everyone that is suffering or mourning. We are in this together.

I just read Finola's IG about Shannen. Made me cry. CHARMED, of course. 

Day before yesterday SSH made me cry. Did you make it through her zoom interview with Michael Fairman?!!

Yesterday my sweet Westie Ruby gave me lovely dog kisses & that made me cry. But they were good tears.

This is my favorite scene in the history of 90210, it's just perfect, delicious teen soap, from Brandon's knowing but slightly confused look to Brenda's lone wolf strut away from the foolery. I still know the dialogue by heart. "Why are you doing this to me!?" "Because we owe it to you, Bren." #ouch "Look, I hate you both. Never talk to me again!"

The iconic James B. Sikking, best known for Hill Street Blues, Doogie Howser, etc. but also a GH alum (he played Audrey's husband Dr. Jim Hobart), has died after a battle with dementia:

I knew him best from his cameo in The Search for Spock. What a persona.

[DRW50]

Thanks for posting about it. I think I knew him best for HSB, where he played a paranoid right wing military fanatic, very typical of the era, and sadly, more common than ever today. There was one episode which ended with him putting a gun to his head, IIRC, which was very startling. As it turned out the next week, the bullets had been removed from the gun by his colleagues without him knowing it.
