Mr. Smooth Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 22 minutes ago, galenkia said: Actor James Caan has died aged 82. RIP Great actor! He was on a hot streak in the early 70's that any actor would envy with his roles in "Brian's Song" and "The Godfather". But what was amazing, to show how much Hollywood producers thought of him back in the 70's, he was also offered and turned down the lead in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", that would go to Jack Nicholson, the role of Popeye Doyle in "The French Connection" that went to Gene Hackman ( both won Oscar's in those movies), Han Solo in "Star Wars", that was played by Harrison Ford, the Captain Willard role in "Apocalypse Now", that went to Martin Sheen, and Ted Kramer in "Kramer vs Kramer", that Dustin Hoffman played and won an Oscar. What might have been, eh? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Smooth Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Taurean Blaque, who was part of the cast of one of the great cop shows of all time, "Hill Street Blues", died at 82. I remember watching it every week I could in the 80's, and in it's first season, it had such low ratings that NBC threatened to cancel it. But it found an audience when summer repeats were shown and the word spread and would go on to air from 1981 through 1987. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched all 144 episodes during lockdown-absolute treat!! Testament to great art that it wasl still every bit as good with the passing of time.

forqalso Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 1950’s child star Tony Dow died today, after yesterday’s erroneous announcement of his death. He co-starred in the show Leave it to Beaver. In 1983, when I was stationed in Okinawa, I ran into him on BC Street. Literally, ran into him as he was exiting a souvenir shop with his wife. We spoke for a moment, he was touring with Fonzie and the rest of the USO show. He seemed like a nice guy. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/tony-dow-dead-wally-cleaver-leave-it-to-beaver-1235326146/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
