Phil Hartman—never forget.  Sometimes the worst already has happened.

I thought cotton was the fabric of our lives.

Geez.  I took a Shakespeare class in college and the teacher warned us ahead of time, and apologized, for the nudity in the old Zefferelli Romeo and Juliet.

A piece of the Berlin Wall is akin to Clydesdale horses.  Seeing pictures doesn't really prepare you for being face-to-face.

More or less, but he pretty much laughed it off and went back to work.

I wonder what the criteria are for someone's making it to the obit section of the AV Club.
I think this obit is right and proper—but why was Alvin Lee's death ignored? 
Yes counts, Ten Years After doesn't? 
Seriously, why one and not the other?  Both losses are regrettable.

At the time, it was still acceptable to persecute that segment of the population.  Legally, at least.

Not often someone that age makes a definite career choice.
You should thank your aunt.

He was a semi-regular on the updated, Whoopi Goldberg version of Hollywood Stars.   
There was one time when he was the last square open, Penn & Teller were on the show as well, and both contestants kept getting the answer wrong.  It went on and on, painfully funny after a while.

Darlene, one of the Annette-era Disney Kids, ended up doing a spread in Penthouse.  Or Hustler, maybe—don't remember which.  She was a little long in the tooth at the time, but they did what they could.  

For everyone's sake, don't stop taking the meds.  And please put down the gun.

Michelle Lee was a pretty big deal on Broadway, though.  She was one of the stars of the original How to Succeed in Business… with Robert Morse et al.

Please!  The Magic Christian.

It was on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. 

Trivia tidbit:  homeless guy played by Derek Jacobi.

Bruce Dern, Random Roles, asap.  Man ain't getting any younger.
He worked with Hitchcock, Sean Connery, Shirley McLaine, even Gordon Lightfoot in a Canadian movie. 
And then there's Tattoo, and he did by himself what it took the Japanese armed forces to do, which is kill John Wayne in a movie.
Come on—think of the…

I've seen a few episodes, but the one that sticks is about True Believers and UFOs.  There's an actual sadness about it and how so many of the gullible people are just easy targets for conmen.

You have saw, you saw lady in half, everyone clap.

Yes, that's it.  It was after El Mariachi came out?  something, whatever, a successful movie that cost $25,000 to make, and he was determined to make his movie for $24,999.  Love to see the movie he made, no matter how bad it is.

Yet as often as I've seen Ricky Jay fling those cards, even after reading Cards As Weapons (it's online now), I'm more impressed, if anything.
