For those who are interested in a complete list from many years try http://www.einsiders.com/features/columns/apr07obituaries.php . Just look under the top header under “obituaries” on the top right, and click on the year you want.
A good yearly necrology is at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=necrology&necYear=2009
Among the ones I noticed:
Arnold Strang, the voice of Top Cat. He was also a character actor, and played the photographer in Dennis the Menace, as well as a lot of other bit parts.
Soupy Sales
John Hughes. He wrote or directed the original Vacation, all the “Brat Pack” movies, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Ferris Bueller, and quite a few other movies.
Wow. There’s couple on that list I missed.
Soupy Sales?
“I took my wife to the baseball game last night. We’re so in love! I kissed her between the strikes and she kissed me between the balls.”
Who cares about actors? That “is” all they are.
