I agree with that statement.
I’m a big fan of Elvis so my favorite movie he was in was Speedway with Nancy Sinatra and Bill Bixby.
I just saw her on an old game show the other day, i think it was called Tattletales.
She was lovely on it.
As a kid i had a big crush on her when she starred in the Patty Duke show.
Worst thing of all is many were in my age group. To say the least, I’ve lost any sense of immortality I may have had before Jan 1, 2015.

He did an IMMENSE amount of commercial voice-over work too.
He was in my fave movie ever - CHARLEY VARRICK.
That guy was in a bazillion movies and TV shows.
I read he was some kind of folk singer, which translates to leftie douche.
Lots and lots of good times.
R.I.P.
Oh, and later he was the voice of Milton the Toaster, the long-running spokesman in commercials for Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts.

You can run his name through theoracleofbacon.org and he's at two degrees of separation from just about everybody.
I'll miss him.
Enjoyed his work. RIP.
What a crazy pair.
As far as I know, she's doing well. Cathy has always been close friends with Samantha Stevens' identical cousin, Serena, from "Bewitched."
