Roberta's Flack big song "Killing Me Softly (With Your Song)" wAs once voted as the best song of all time, #1 , by one of those groups that does such listings. She did a tremendous job on the vocals of that song.

Until yesterday, I thought Carly Simon was the original artist of that song.

Sounds a little like Carly. But I was surprised it wasn't a Bacharach song. All those catchy, popular songs from the 60s and early 70s, you might have heard them on your parents' or grandparents' radio and still remember them, half of them were written by a guy we only actually heard in a commercial for Martini & Rossi with Angie Dickinson.

I wasn’t into the Buffy series but who could not have been into Sarah Michelle Gellar & crew including Michelle T.

We will need to wait for coroner report but she recently had a liver transplant. The medical theory for now is her body may have rejected the new liver.

39 is kind of young for a new liver. I hope it wasn't due to Hollywood excess but an inherited or unavoidable infection.

That can be a result of hepatitis C, which is transmitted by some behaviors associated with Hollywood. Particularly West Hollywood.

Gene Hackman found dead at home, along with wife and dog.

No answers yet but sounds like carbon monoxide.

That's how Shelby from Steel Magnolias died. Her Mother donated her kidney to her and her body rejected her Mother's kidney and Shelby fell into a coma and Shelby's Husband signed the paperwork to take Shelby off of life support after Shelby's doctors and nurses told Shelby's family she was permanently brain dead. Shelby was only about 22 and had a Son who was only about a year and a half old. At least Michelle was about 17 years older than Shelby and didn't have any offspring.

I can't even think of a movie Gene Hackman was bad in. He was one of those actors who was good even if the movie wasn't that great.

Wow, I know who that is (Coach Dale). I rarely know the celebrities mentioned in this thread

One of my favorite scenes from Mississippi Burning.
