Wow.


Some of those I knew (of)  ---->


Peter Falk
Harry Morgan
Andy Rooney
Jane Russell
Elizabeth Taylor
Jack LaLane
Cliff Robertson (ah, remember him?)
Sherwood Schwartz (famous name from Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island - creator)
Jackie Cooper (didn't know he was still around, actually)


And a bunch of middle-age types who died of various diseases or strokes. Scary. 


Then there were the Darwin-award recipients: Amy Winehouse and Ryan Dunn, both from irresponsible use of alcohol.

I did not realise James Arness was gone. I really liked him


A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. Plato..

Here's another passing today...truly remarkable:


www.cnn.com/2011/12/28/showbiz/obit-tarz...



Condolences poured in to a Florida primate sanctuary Wednesday after it announced the death of Cheetah, a chimpanzee that the sanctuary said starred in the Tarzan movies during the 1930s.


The chimpanzee died Saturday after suffering kidney failure the week before, the sanctuary foundation said on the site. He was roughly 80 years old, Debbie Cobb, the sanctuary's outreach director, told CNN affiliate WFLA.


Cobb recalled Cheetah as an outgoing chimp who loved finger painting and watching football and who was soothed by Christian music, the station said.




Astounding.


Who would have thought he was still alive?  80 for a chimp?  He outlived his famous human costars by decades.


Though I suspect some will find a bit of irony in that statement about Christian radio.
