In Memoriam

[canbelto]

I am reading James Earl Jones obits and I did not realize his early life was so harsh. Wow.

 

[Buzz]

LOVED James Earl Jones! He will be so missed! R.I.P.

James Earl Jones has died. RIP to a legend.

Truly a legend. He made Darth Vader immortal in a way. Without his voice Vader would have been an ordinary villain.

JEJ had a long life and successful career. May he RIP.

I still remember he had a very funny Will and Grace episode where he acted with I believe Megan and Sean.

This one hits especially deep as he was a good friend of mine when we were both in our twenties, though we lost touch over the last few years.

42 is way too young to die. My condolences.

I just read this. It's just so sad. I first saw her in the documentary First Position and had followed her career since then.

So sad.

29 is way too young, how sad.

She was such an inspirational young woman! Reminds me of Sergei Grinkov’s sudden passing and I had a much younger cousin who died years ago suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition.

 

[Buzz]

sorry DP.

 

[Badams]

29 is way too young. What a loss.

I had vaguely heard of this guy but didn't realize he'd written all these hit songs.

John David “JD” Souther has died. He was a prolific songwriter and musician whose collaborations with the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt helped shape the country-rock sound that took root in Southern California in the 1970s.

In case anyone here didn't watch, I wanted to share the 2024 Emmy Awards, In Memoriam. It was very touching with Jelly Roll singing "I'm Not Okay." It included at the end James Earl Jones and Bob Newhart.

She lived a pretty quiet life after she retired. Nothing wrong with that.

Such a presence. Loved her work.

 

[Vagabond]

She was wonderful.

 

[pollyanna]

One of the greats. RIP Dame Maggie.

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm so sad. She was one of my all-time favorite actresses. Knew it was coming one of these days, but I'd hoped we might have her a few more years.

 

[Finnice]

RIP. She was one of my all time favourites, too. So many splendid roles. I had an honour to see her life on the stage in London at the 1990´s. I am so grateful of that.
I will watch one of her movies or an episode of Downton Abbey today.
A great loss.

 

[rfisher]

RIP Professor McGonagall. I tried but could never quite master that simple eyebrow lift.

 

[kedrin]

I had an honour to see her life on the stage in London at the 1990´s. I am so grateful of that.

Me too, in the 1980s! The play was completely forgettable- and I came away thinking that I would pay to hear her read the phone book. RIP.

 

[PRlady]

If you’ve never seen The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, do. Maggie was in her own prime and magnificent.

RIP to a great actor.

 

[Wyliefan]

If you’ve never seen The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, do. Maggie was in her own prime and magnificent.

Oh gosh, she was so good in that. And Travels with My Aunt -- the movie wasn't great, but she was. I remember thinking she was like an Edward Gorey drawing come to life.

Just for the heck of it, I've been counting up the movies I've seen her in. I'm at 26, not counting TV shows like Downton. But there are still plenty left. Better get on that!
