Here we are again...

Any predictions? I can't think of anyone.

[Morningriser]

It's interesting we already have someone to go in here. It is with much sadness and a very heavy heart from me anyway, Mean Gene Okerlund has died at 76. Rest in peace

[cheebacheeba]

Any predictions? I can't think of anyone.
Well...I'd always wondered who'd go first out of Stan Lee and Betty White, so I guess I'd throw her up as a potential?

That's not to mention the sadly really young ones we'll see.

[hammerfan]

So far, we have Gene Okerlund, Daryl Dragon (the Captain from The Captain and Tennille), Bob Einstein

[Morningriser]

Well that's our three for now.

Damn and it’s only the 3rd day of the new year.

They all died on the same day, at the same age. ::EEK!::

Yeah, i liked that guy. He did an awesome amount of smaller parts in horror movies and others.

For me, because I'm old, I always think of Bucket of Blood when I see him.

Seconded. Rest in peace Pete. Wrote one of the best Monkees songs, For Pete's Sake, partially heard as the closing theme to the Monkees TV show.

Also, the great radio and voice artists, and talk jazz fusion audio artists, Ken Nordine, and his Word Jazz.

Just wanted to post a sad farewell to Dick Miller, who died last week. I can't remember whether his obituary in the New York Times mentioned his role as the man who eats flowers in Little shop of horrors. And let's not forget Dick Miller as the agent in Hollywood Boulevard.

[cheebacheeba]

Never much watched the shows she was involved in, but seemed like a funny lady.

[Sculpt]

I'll remember her best from Soup and facial adjusting in Brazil.

That's a friggin' shock. They were so vague at first, just saying he was "under observation".

[cheebacheeba]

Wow busy week...
Keith Flint of Prodigy fame.
Fat of the land was one of my first CDs.
So good I went back and checked out the prior work too.
Such a huge...force of nature in the alt/edm scene, with a style that's never been replicated.
R.I.P ya crazy looking motherfucker

[cheebacheeba]

The song that made me think "Holy fuck who are these guys?!?"

This one hit hard, one of my favorites. I will miss him...

[Angra]

Yea, me too..

He won my heart as The Hitcher, back in the days.

[Bloof]

Loved him in "Ladyhawke".

[cheebacheeba]

Aron Eisenberg.
It's not known how or why yet...just that it was sudden.

Who was he?
He was known for Star Trek DS9, which many still regard as the overall "best" ST series.

He played Nog, the troublesome young nephew of Quark the Ferengi conman/bar owner.
The character went from a scumbag kid, all the way to becoming a Starfleet officer, and actually went to war.
Great character development, and he played the character memorably.

Stayed friends with his former child co-star Cirroc Lofton (Jake), and the two of them regularly appeared in "The seventh Rule" (T79 - it's on youtube) which is ran by a dude that does a few of the ST facebook pages, where they talk all things Star Trek and have some pretty cool guests on too. I'd recommend taking a look, though it might be a while until we see more, sadly.

Well... R.I.P little guy.

RIP Sid Haig

One of cult cinema's finest.

Rest In Peace

René Auberjonois

Well...he was in a lot of things, among which he played the original Father Mulcahey in the M.A.S.H movie.

What I knew this guy from, first and foremost is the grumpy shape shifting head of security Odo on Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Honourable character, forever a foil to Quarks scammery, played with heart...he turned out to be one of the best characters on the show, and I can't think of anyone who would have played him better...he was iconic and perfectly moulded.

Wow.
Star Trek is getting HIT this year...this is the second main cast member of Deep Space 9 to go this year, along with Aron Eisenberg (Nog)

...not to mention two of these famous female writer DC Fontana and Robert Walker Jnr who played "Charlie X" in the second episode of the original series have both died within just the last couple of weeks.
Sidenote R.I.P for these guys.

Weird.

Anyways...R.I.P Odo/René

[cheebacheeba]

This is weird...seriously...

Marina Sirtis' (Star Trek TNGs Troi) husband, musician Michael Lamper just died yesterday too.

This is FOUR ST (related) deaths within the week of each other.

It's like they all got off a plane that crashed or something.

[cheebacheeba]

Aw, shit...

[Sculpt]

Aw, shit...

Is that the female singer of the duo group Roxette?

[cheebacheeba]

It is...it was...
Right now my little girl is singing to "almost unreal" as I type this.

It's interesting we already have someone to go in here. It is with much sadness and a very heavy heart from me anyway, Mean Gene Okerlund has died at 76. Rest in peace
