I didn't see until today that Woody Williams, last living Medal of Honor recipient from WWII, had passed a few days ago.

One story of it includes an interview CBS had with him last year.

This is a video I like from a few years ago.

Don't think anyone else could have played the role of Sonny Corleone as well as he did. And that will about do it for a reboot of "Vegas". RIP.

Ooops....

Corrections & Clarifications: An obituary for “Leave It to Beaver” actor Tony Dow was published in error. Dow’s representatives initially confirmed his death to USA TODAY by email after sharing the news in a Facebook post that has since been deleted. USA TODAY has reached out to his representatives for more information.

and less than a day later, just like Tanya, it's for real.....

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tony Dow, who as Wally Cleaver on the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” helped create the popular and lasting image of the American teenager of the 1950s and 60s, died Wednesday. He was 77.

Frank Bilotta, who represented Dow in his work as a sculptor, confirmed his death in an email to The Associated Press.

No cause was given, but Dow had been in hospice care and announced in May that he had been diagnosed with prostate and gall bladder cancer.

A post on Dow’s Facebook page on Tuesday prematurely reported that he had died, but his wife and management team later took down the post and explained that it was announced in error.

Very interesting... does India every do covert revenge assassinations Mossad style?

Speaking of India, I'm hoping for the health of Rushdie, a fabulously talented writer. I've read almost all of his books over the years and there aren't many left along that Gunter Grass vein.. I hope he pulls through ok, but they say he'll lose an eye, a kidney, and some nerves. Knowing him, if he survives, he'll poke some fun at himself and his future eyepatch. God Bless him.

Anne Hesche:

Anne Heche, an actress whose steady film and television career spanned three decades after her breakthrough role in the soap opera "Another World," has died. She was 53.


Was it suicide? It will be interesting to find out what, if any, drugs were in her system at the time of the crash. Her bouts with mental health were well publicized. It's a shame that if that's what it was, she had to be so destructive about it.

HRH Queen Elizabeth II has passed at the ripe old age of 96. Longest serving monarch in the history of the British Empire. Long live the King.

Queen Elizabeth II, the seemingly eternal monarch who became a bright but inscrutable beacon of continuity in the United Kingdom during more than seven decades of rule, died Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands. She was 96.

Louise Fletcher, best known for her role as as Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" passed away yesterday at the age of 88. No cause of death was given but she had survived two bouts with breast cancer. For her role in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" she received an Oscar.

Fletcher knew her life had changed forever when she watched Cuckoo’s Nest with an audience for the first time and saw how people reacted to a scene in which McMurphy tries to kill her character.

“It was in Chicago, and it was a packed house,” she recalled. “When he strangles her, the audience stood up and yelled and cheered. Stood up. It was unbelievable. I was thrilled.”

On its 2003 list of the 100 greatest villains in the annals of motion pictures, the American Film Institute placed Nurse Ratched at No. 5, behind only Hannibal Lecter, Norman Bates, Darth Vader and the Wicked Witch of the West.

It's been said before but there never had been, or has been since, such an unlikely group of people to form a band and produce some of the greatest music ever written in the Rock and Roll era.
