T^hey call them beards.
Now he was married to a beautiful blonde, Janet Zarish!
RIP.
We gonna post every celebrity who dies now?
Is it me, or do only famous people get coronavirus?
Wouldn’t know that guy if I ran over him.
I tried watching “You” but gave up halfway through the first season, and I don’t remember any character his age standing out in what I watched.
The article said: "Blum was also a fixture of the New York theater community - So, yes.
That’s like my transformation from 38 to 48.
You are an absolute asshat.
His obituary mentioned he was married to actress Janet Zarish.
Because he asks it every, single, time.
In his mind, if you die from this you must have HIV.
Its just annoying, bigoted, and douchey.
She was definitely a very attractive woman!
Not directed at you, but this announcement of every person who has died leads to a guessing game of what caused their death. Its the US. Publishing personal information about a patient is illegal. So, guessing, is useless and meaningless. Its just he always guesses gay. Its infantile.
That was a long time ago (1985). Madonna the madcap club girl, Rosanna Arquette the repressed housewife. Don't remember much more than that.
Funny thing. I was looking for him in the cast of "Suddenly Susan" (1996-2000, also a while back) and wondering why I couldn't find him and didn't remember him.
RIP.
We have for a long time here at FR. They are a good memory test for some of us. While this guy was in a few things I’m not sure where one would place him in the celeb pecking order. There used to be a thing called a Q score which rated how well known someone was with the general public. I don’t know if they still use it or not.
And you are an absolute sucker
“Let me guess, he also had HIV?”
Bingo, you know how this game is played!
Remember the famous interview between that liar Jane Fonda and Megyn Kelly? Megyn kept asking her about her many surgeries...and the witch kept ducking because she wants the women of the country to believe her 'ageless looks' come from 'eating right and exercise'... (yes, she made money off that lie) The witch of all times...
On-air press 'talents' are the same... the women have good plastic surgeons the men look like Chris Wallace's cheap job....
