Filmmaker Charles B. Pierce died on March 5th at the age of 71. Pierce is probably best know for directing the classic bigfoot movie Legend of Boggy Creek. He was also a writer on the Dirty Harry film Sudden Impact. Oddly, most of his credits seem to be as a set decorator (on everything from The Outlaw Josey Wales to MacGyver).

Veteran actress Nan Martin died last Thursday of complications from emphysema. She was 82.

Martin's career dates back to the early days of television, with appearances on shows ranging from The Twilight Zone to CSI. She also played Freddy Krueger's mother on Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and was nominated for a Tony. However, she was probably best known for playing Mrs. Louder on The Drew Carey Show.

Haim, 38, was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Burbank, California, where he was pronounced dead at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday (6:30 a.m. ET).



I once met him and Mario Lopez while they were filming the movie Fever Lake at my college.
