Dead Celebs - 2003

Anyway, being still a minor, I only saw Gregory Peck in one performance, and that was because we were reading the novel To Kill a Mockingbird in english class. He was great, and I feel that Atticus Finch really deserved being named #1 hero by the AFI.

That's one hell of a movie, for sure! And you are right that he certainly deserved it. Some others may have also deserved it, but I doubt anyone derserved it more...

That is correct. It was a small homage to the designer of the original series Enterprise.

I believe the current series ENTERPRISE paid homage to him by mentioning a "Captain Jefferies" in one episode during the second season.

Bob Hope died last night at his home. He was 100.

The guy who played Archie Bunker (I'm sorry, I'm not old enough to remember the name) on All in the Family. A few months ago.

Hope was sixty years older than me but it still feels like a part of "my generation" has passed, for whatever that might mean.

Thanks

No problem. It's a sad story, really. He survived his son who got caught up in drugs and spent his dying days crusading for tougher laws specifically against drug dealers. I'll bet that loss didn't help his aging much.

20th Century Icons.....

It can be said, that this coming century has spots that need to be filled...or is the time has passed for that?

They are were from a time, when in the early days, might have been simplier...maybe.

Thank you for enlighten us with your presence.

That is so sad. One of the, if not the, greatest tap dancers this world has ever known.
