Celebrity death Pool Time

[MrMonkey]

William Shatner did not attend Leonard Nimoy's funeral. (He was honoring a commitment to a charitable fundraiser.)

Some people are upset.

Some people are dopey in the head.

Trekkies! LOL!

.

 

[Mudcat]

My first thought was WTF, you're expected to go to a funeral of someone you worked with 40 years ago? Really?

Trekkies be trippin'.

But apparently they are more than just co-workers from the ancient past. They have remained friends and Shatner's daughters attended. Shatner really did regret not going.

But shit happens.

Doesn't change the fact that trekkies be trippin'.

They are both members of the Hebrew tribe.

Shatner should have been there to throw a shovel of dirt on his old friends casket.

The Talmud specifies it.

Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon died of cancer. I could not pick him out of a line-up but I have been seeing his name in the credits and his creation has been part of my life for 25 (??) years.

RIP

 

[Blitty]

I am also very familiar with his name in credits.

RIP

Not at all prettyboy. I just like to mention the fact certain people are members of the Hebrew clan.

Well, I guess he would be the dead one.

Oh no I di'int.



If I am understanding correctly, he was with the Simpsons for only a few years - and is credited in having a large part in developing the show's sensibility - but then he just left. As a result of the departure deal he worked out, he remained a credited Executive Producer and raked in, like, 10's of millions of dollars every year.

Atta boy.

He also worked on some other notable shows. Taxi, Cheers, The Drew Carey Show, It's Garry Shandling's Show.

He was married to Jennifer Tilly at one time. In her most deluxe years, I would say. Later married a Playboy Playmate.

And he was well known for his philanthropical work. Big animals guy, he was.


One big atta boy. :

Guy who looks very familiar to a TV/movie enthusiasts of my age has passed away.

Turns out his name is Geoffrey Lewis.

Further turns out he was the father of actress Juliette Lewis.

RIP kind-faced, worked-with-Clint-Eastwood at least a few times, appeared-on-many-70's-and-80's-TV-shows guy.

RIP Guenter Grass

 

[Matty]

Can't believe that guy was still alive.

I read something by him once. I remember none of it.

RIP

 

[Mudcat]

I read The Tin Drum. I have some memory of it.

I also read The Tin Flute.

That is something else.
