Olivia de Haviland and Pete Seeger and Lawrence Ferlinghetti are still with us, but probably not for long.

Are Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon feeling puny? How about Rosie O’Donnell and Alec Baldwin?

What about "Billy Paul"? (Not to be confused with the guy who sang 'Me and Misses Jones').

I’m embarrassed — I was sure that I had seen reports of Price’s death earlier today. I guess I was wrong. I do know that he is failing, and I wish him all the best.

Indeed. And "The Trial of Billy Jack" was, without doubt, the worst movie of all time. Just goshawful.

RIP.
