How is Vera doing?
link to original post
Vera died a few years back. Her family intentionally did not make a press release about it, she was gone for months before it was noted.
Maybe Joleen is still kicking?

Yes, she is (Celia Watson), and so is Belle (Diane Ladd, who also played Flo in the movie)

I just saw his wife. Who did he marry, former Miss America? Good for him

Close. Former Miss Arizona.

So she's a former Miss America contestant. I was just guessing, I had no idea.

According to ABC News and her website, she was in the Miss USA pageant, not Miss America.
("What's the difference?" Mainly, Miss America has a talent competition; Miss USA does not.)

I JUST had a dream where Robert Plant's death was announced! 😱😳 But the weird thing is, in my dream it was announced that he died at 71. I remember thinking in the dream,"Ironic how 1971 was a big year for Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant died at 71." 💡🤔 But Robert Plant isn't 71 in real life. 💡 He's 77. 💡

Former boxing champion Ricky Hatton, at the age of 46. No details yet, although it is said his death wasn't under suspicious circumstances. One of the most popular boxers of the 21st century, Hatton attracted large crowds of Brits to attend his fights. When he fought . When he fought Floyd Mayweather in Vegas in 2007, the crowd was overwhelmingly pro Hatton, and in one of the stranger moments I've witnessed( on PPV), the crowd serenaded him immediately after the fight while TV announcers were interviewing Floyd.
Hatton wasn't the most talented fighter, but he had the heart of a lion.
RIP

r.i.p. Robert Redford
from the link -
"Robert Redford, the big-screen charmer turned Oscar-winning director whose hit movies often helped America make sense of itself and who, off screen, evangelized for environmental causes and fostered the Sundance-centered independent film movement, died early Tuesday morning at his home in Utah. He was 89."

The 1970s were Redford's HayDay he didn't really do much acting wise after that. Nothing of any consequence anyway. The Way We Were, The Sting, The Great Gatsby, Butch Cassidy, Jeremiah Johnson, All the President's Men, the Candidate, 3 days of the Condor, The Electric Horseman, these were all in the late '60s and the 70s. I saw every one of them in a movie theater. In the early 80s he made Out of Africa which he was hardly in and The Natural, for which he was way too old. He was almost 50 when he made that. My favorite would have to be Jeremiah Johnson, great movie. He was best in movies where he didn't have to talk very much because he wasn't really that great of an actor.
I first saw Robert Redford in the 1962 episode of The Twilight Zone where he played Mr Death. I think it was his debut. The production company told him decades later that his episode was the most viewed episode of The Twilight Zone out of all of them.

EvenBob,

Maybe I'll finally watch "Three Days of the Condor." I started watching that as a kid when it came on TV and I had no idea what was happening.
I'm glad he was in some Marvel movies so my kids know who I'm talking about when I mention Robert Redford.

Rapper Dave Blunts, shown here with his girlfriend, is NOT yet dead. I just thought I'd get a few months ahead of his eventual death story. He weighs over 500 lbs. He apparently has trouble standing up.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

500 is low, over 600 is more like it. I call guys like this toilet seat abusers. The poor toilet can't run away..

It's a really good movie. It will make sense after the first 20 minutes. The concept is pretty simple actually. You might even think it's cliche today but it followed after Watergate so one of the first government under suspicion movies
BTW it's based on a novel, Six Days of the Condor. The film only tells the first half of the book. They did a 2016 cable series called Condor" which is in two seasons. The first three days for season one. The second for season two. The first three days are one adventure. And the second three are follow up adventure to tie up all the loose ends.

Looks like an oxygen mask. Needing one isn't good for one's health.

Yes, it is an oxygen mask. Apparently he performed in a concert while using an oxygen mask and bottle. Not sure how that worked.

I was listening to radio this morning announcer was talking about a 600 pound lady had to have a 250 pound tumor removed. Apparently she had it for a while and she decided not to have surgery. It grew and grew until a minor operation turned intoajor surgery where she couldn't hardly move. Medical personnel said it was like 2 people inside her body

The Clash did a great version too, maybe the greatest.
