    Thank you all. He was very sick early on in his life, which caused issues from then on and as a result he died too young in his mid sixties. But with the band hand he's been dealt with, he still managed to do the best with it: he got married and became a father, for one.

    It was announced this week that actress and writer Joan Hotchkis had died at the age of 95 (even though she died on September 27th it was only made public this week). I know her mostly as the occasional girlfriend (Dr. Nancy Cunningham) of Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) on the 1970-1975 TV program The Odd Couple. It also happens to be my favorite TV program of all time.

    IIRC, with Ms. Hotchkis death, only Janis Hansen and Elinor Donahue remain from the major cast members of the show.
    RIP "Nancy"

    As someone who used to work in a petrol station this was always my biggest fear. We had yearly fire lectures on the importance of quickly dealing with petrol spillages etc. The vapour that comes from petrol is highly flammable, not so much the liquid itself. That's why there are extraction pipes to take it away when the fuel lorry is filling up the tanks. I think a lot of people don't realise what potentially dangerous places they are when filling up in every day life but sadly we're served awful reminders like this every so often.

    It's a shame really, I'm still imagining what would the Beatles' (and also Lennon's) performance in Live Aid 1985 would have looked like.....

    Angela Lansbury passed today.
    I watched and still watch reruns of murder she wrote religiously. She will be missed.

    Just read it on my NYT "Breaking News" newsletter. She will certainly be missed, but reaching the almost-biblical age of 96 is also a privilege. I haven't researched it, but I hope she did manage her final years without the suffering so prevalent with many others whose last stages are determined by dementia, Alzheimer's and the like.

    May she rest in peace. She brought a lot of joy to many people.

    She was one of my favorite Disney characters: Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast (1991). A true legend.

    Quite a career indeed, from the 40s to the 2010s. I've seen quite a few of her movies, and loved her in everyone of them, from The Picture of Dorian Gray to The Manchurian Candidate, from The Three Musketeers (Gene Kelly's version) to Bedknobs and Broomsticks, from The Mirror Crack'd to Death on the Nile. Really a class act. She'll be missed.

    Sad to hear of the death of Angela Lansbury. She had a great career as an actress and had a good innings.

    If you have never seen The Manchurian Candidate, give it a try. Lansbury is mesmerizing as one of the all-time greatest screen villainess. She plays a cynical and manipulative mother in a spine-shivering performance that Meryl Streep wasn't able to match in the remake.

    Just learned of the passing of the legendary Angela Lansbury. What a sad day for the world of entertainment. I was lucky enough to see her and James Earl Jones in a theatre production of Driving Miss Daisy in Perth, back in 2013.
    At the time I thought to myself, they don't need to be doing this at their age. But they did it because of their love of entertaining. But you also got to see first-hand what real acting was. They were both faultless. It's something I will always treasure.
    RIP Angela Lansbury, thank you for the wonderful career you leave.

    Sort of the famale Columbo has died. Strange enough there make 2 parter crossover episodes with Magnum PI but not with Columbo. You can find ''Magnum on Ice'' (Second part) episode from Murder, She Wrote (Episode 3.8) as extra on Season 7 boxset of Magum Pi. And ''Novel Connection'' (First part) from Magnum Pi (Episode 7.8) as extra's on Season 3 boxset of Murder, She Wrote.

    Sadley she died 5 days before her 97th birthday. Of course you hoped she turn 100 like English queen (96 too) or guy from Airwolf (who died before his 100th birthday).

    I have two animated movie's in my Bluray collection where she did voice for: Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Anastasia (1997). And i have Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) on Bluray.
