As evil as he looked and an expert at making grotesque faces, he always visited The Hospital for Sick Children when he was in Toronto and put smiles on hundreds of faces that otherwise did not have a lot to cheer about while admitted to hospital.

Indeed. I was a huge fan back in the day. I should dust off some of his recordings and honor him.

Clyde Stubblefield. Probably the funkiest, and most sampled drummer of all time.

Bill Paxton at 61 of a surgery problem! Always liked him and of course Big Love. Seemed like a regular guy.

RIP Bill Paxton who passed at 61 from post op complications from heart surgery. My favorite movie of his was Apollo 13, and was also in Aliens & Titanic,

I am so sorry to hear that! I liked most of his work. I think Tresspass with him and William Sadler was an excellent movie and also enjoyed One False Move very much.

I missed that Spielberg's mom, Leah Adler, died last week at 97. Though I've never met a Spielberg movie I've liked, my own recently passed mother did like on occasion to go to her kosher restaurant in the Pico/Robertson area of LA--The Milky Way. Though she certainly didn't need to work, Leah would often be found there running the place.

I always think of him as the "spook"/used car salesman who was trying to pick up housewife Jaime Curtis in True Lies.

I forgot we consolidated.

I loved Chet and Hudson! RIP.

Mildred Dresselaus. Remarkable woman.

Very sad.

For those of us that grew up in the 80s, his roles in Weird Science and Aliens are unforgettable.

I really enjoyed his performances in One False Move, Tombstone and A Simple Plan.

RIP.

Loved Bill Paxton as Chet and Private Hudson. Saw a fun fact yesterday that Paxton and Lance Henrickson are the only two actors who were killed on screen by a Terminator, a Predator & and an Alien.

RIP Bill Paxton. I too enjoyed watching him in Aliens. I didn't realize he was 61.

Very sorry to hear it. I enjoyed his movie introductions very much.

Valerie Carter

A terrific singer who worked with Jackson Browne, Little Feat, James Taylor and numerous others. She was a fixture in James Taylor's touring band for many years. And she had a few very well received solo albums in the 70s.

She sings the harmony parts on one of my favourite Little Feat songs, Long Distance Love.

Heart attack at age 64.
