Quality actor. Only knew him from T1+T2, but he really made both films opposite Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton.

[GaijinPunch]

That guy seemed to be everywhere in the 80s.

Annie Wersching, best known for Renee Walker from 24.

Saw this news yesterday. I watched most of 24 and can't remember who the hell she is...

[vol.2]

Tom Verlaine from Television

Was never a huge fan tbh, but I lived around the block from him for years, and I used to go to his bar in the LES for their amazing happy hour deals on Friday. Cheers!

[Bloodreign]

Did not know the original Wednesday from The Addams Family died late last month, or Cindy Williams as well. Now Laverne and Shirley have both passed on.

[vol.2]

Now Laverne and Shirley have both passed on.

That's so sad. I have a lot of fond memories of watching L&S as a kid. I liked it much better than Happy Days because of the chemistry between them, and the setting. Most sitcoms were about successful family units, or people who had "landed," but L&S was about two working class friends scraping by and supporting each other.

She was Renee Walker, one of Jack Bauer's girlfriends.

[Bloodreign]

Raquel Welch, a true beauty, pretty well known sex symbol actress of the 1960's and 70's. She was truly quite the stunningly beautiful woiman.

[vol.2]

Pretty much all the men I know of my dad's generation (pre-boomers) were in love with her.

[BIL]

Oh wow, that was her? I always knew the name but never connected her to that image. Blimey.



Always the same when one of these iconic beauties passes on - "What am I saying at this poor woman's funeral?"

[drauch]

Very early spank memories to One Million Years B.C., and watching her Fathom was one of the last movies I (started) to watch during a dark time where I quit watching movie entirely, so she holds some key and nostalgic moments in my heart.

[GaijinPunch]

She was absolutely smokin'. BIL, you may remember her as "Fuzzy Britches".

Richard Belzer of Law & Order: SVU.

Leiji Matsumoto, the legend and mastermind behind such works like Galaxy Express 999, Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock, and Gun Frontier, also passed away a week ago at age 85. Having done a lot of space opera anime, he was essentially the George Lucas or Gene Roddenberry of anime.
