I never watched it, but the CNN article says
Quote:She also received three Emmy nominations for her guest role as Pat McDougall, Robert Barone's mother-in-law, on "Everybody Loves Raymond."

Ah, I stand corrected. I never watched the show either

Not a good month for manga-ka, it seems. Kazuo Koike, creator of Lone Wolf and Cub, has passed on:

Remember the long-past days when there were things called "civility" and "dignity" in the U.S. Congress? One less person recalls them now. Former Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) died on the 28th.
Quote:The cerebral, soft-spoken former Eagle Scout and Rhodes scholar never claimed to be a colorful personality.... But Mr. Lugar’s civility and grasp of substantive issues drew widespread respect. “He was kind of the E.F. Hutton of the Senate. When he spoke, people listened, because they knew that he had independently thought through his position and weighed it on the merits....”

Talk about coming in threes... (remember that? Back when celebrity deaths didn't happen in job lots?)

Pretty sure that's because back then celebrities didn't come in job lots either. Or at least were not tracked as ferociously, especially after they stopped the sort of work that draws attention.
... I was referring to before 2016, The Year Everyone Famous Died.

It's really a natural phenomena. Anyone who really started getting famous in the 70's and early 80's is getting close to the back side of the bathub curve of life. And most of those are more well known simply because they're still being played.
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed. One day they're going to ban them.
Yeah, that bunch of celebrities is hitting the 60's by now at minimum, and some of them will be well into the 80's. It's at the point people just start dying.
And again, people are keeping track of them more strongly nowadays, while the internet makes it much easier to communicate it all.
Hell, Clint Eastwood is only a month short of his 89th Birthday, Jackie Chan is 65 (impressive given the number of injuries he's received doing stunts), Speilburg is 72, Harrison Ford is 76. the list goes on, and I didn't even touch on musicians.

For Heaven's sake, don't jinx them! ----- I'm a very forgiving person ... on Lord Vader's terms. "Apology accepted, Captain."
Besides, John Singleton was only 51.
