Aw, Albert Finney. He was in so many, but I'll always remember his Daddy Warbucks.
I guess this means no Bonus* Aires
R.I.P. Mr. Finney. Last night I watched the only Murder on the Orient Express I acknowledge in tribute.
*No, this isn't autocorrect. 1982 Annie fans know why.

Ahhhh! Got it! Yes l, there were a number of actors who appeared as different characters over the years.
And quite a number who went on, or previously had, such a career, they would be included in TCM Remembers.

And Adams was more of a regular on Murder, She Wrote, than Perry Mason, Post Capitol.
To clarify my meaning, I didn't mean she was a regular along the lines of Karl Held's useless David Gideon. I meant she was amongst a group of actors who regularly turned up on the show playing various roles i.e. Gloria Talbott, Constance Towers, and Rebecca Wells along with many others. Held and Towers, BTW, as of today are still with us.

I was wondering when he was going to say something....that was beautiful and shouldn't have been listened to at work
I'm having a hard time reading the tributes to Kristoff St. John. It's not only just incredibly sad, but it's also bringing back memories of my late grandmother who forbade anyone talking to her whenever Y&R was on.

Kristoff St. John who played Neil Winters for years on The Young and Restless has passed away.
OMG! Y&R used to be a favorite of mine. I also remember when Neil came on the show. Though I haven't watched for years, I did know Kristoff never recovered from his son death. So, so, sad. R.I.P. Mr. St. John.

She was regular guest star on Perry Mason too. R.I.P. Ms. Adams.

I hate this new trend of a cast of a TV show going on interviews and bemoaning how sad they are their show is ending
The medium used is new, not the talking about being sad a show is coming to an end. In the past glory days of TV Guide, they would have been the chosen outlet for such interviews. Heck, back in the days of The Big Three and network chiefs held all the power, they used to bluntly tell TV Guide why they fired an actor.

I haven't really watched or cared about the actual Super Bowl for years. I'm just here for the food.

One would think that individuals would be more eager to claim the heritage of a legendary sitcom curmudgeon than a Presidential assassin but this does not seem to have been the case!
Maybe they don't want to explain things to Ethel's kin. ;-)

There had been some sources that claimed he was the son of actor William Frawley (Fred Mertz on ILL), but the bios I've come across for the elder Frawley had him divorced and childless in 1927, so it seems unlikely he was related.
I saw that too and didn't mention it for exactly the reasons you stated. Things didn't seem to add up. That is unless William Frawley had a secret family hidden away in Texas. The dog (LOL).

Too many! I can't keep up.
I remember you Kaye Ballard. R.I.P.
Does heaven need new celestial choir members or something? Another smooth singer gone too soon. R.I.P. James Ingram.
R.I.P. Julius Campbell. Reunited once again with all your former teammates.
R.I.P. James Frawley. The Muppet Movie remains very special to me due to Jim Henson still voicing Kermit the Frog.

From the Las Vegas Review-Journal: Ex-Owner of Las Vegas’ Riviera, Meshulam Riklis Dies at 95
The man who gave the world Pia Zadora!
To this day whenever I hear the words "Golden Globes", Pia Zadora is the first thing that pops in my mind. So RIP Meshulam Riklis, your PR campaign worked wonders indeed.

I think, among other works, he also composed the theme to the TV-movie Brian’s Song which starred James Caan & Billy Dee Williams.
R.I.P to a master. The Windmills of Your Mind remains haunting and I absolutely love his score to The Three Musketeers. The music for the opening credits sequence is fantastic. R.I.P, Monsieur Legrand.

I love the new Apple commercial! It's colorful, upbeat, the music is catchy. Very well done. I'm seriously thinking of purchasing it. The song that is, not the phone. I'm not replacing my iPhone SE until it dies.

Maybe this should go in the Unpopular Opinion Thread, but for me, Perry Mason is Perry Mason. He doesn't change once he became a practicing lawyer. The core of the character is the same. Even 30 years after the original series went off the air, and we got the movies--I could still recognize Perry Mason in Raymond Burr. So for me, Raymond Burr is/was/will forever be Perry Mason. I will accept no others in that role. Never, never, never, never, never.
Even Earle Stanley Gardner, the author and creator of the character, said once he saw Raymond Burr, he saw Perry. He embodied the character.
Come sit by me. No fake Perry Mason's will ever clutter my space.

Sadly Death said "Well hello, Carol!" but what a run! So I'll just my wave my little hand and whisper so long, dearie to the legend, Carol Channing. I'm sure she left us dressed in her Sunday clothes.

I want to show proper respect to the makers of those yellow sunglasses. They must have millions of those things in some warehouse! Yet, since the dawn of infomercials, they've stayed au courant in whatever it is their glasses claim they can do. Hats off!

She lived to 93, had a long and respected career, was made a dame, and did an interview two days before her death; not bad! It was but one of the many roles she nailed, but she was perfect on AbFab.
I loved June Whitfield in AbFab! But you're right, 93 is a nice run. R.I.P. Ms. Whitfield.

This is not necessarily an Unpopular Opinion, but it is the opinion of a Party Of One, namely Me. I wish someone would compile a combined movie/TV database that lists everyone in the cast along with photographs of THE ACTOR IN A COSTUME WORN WHILE IN THE MOVIE/TV SHOW with the credits. Rant over. Thank you.

Hmm, I'm still only finding the original version from five days ago; do you have a link to the one updated to include Penny Marshall?
It's on TCM's website, Penny is right before Burt Reynolds (who holds the last position).

We'll see how long it takes Tuner Classic Movies to update its TCM Remembers 2018. They put one together every year (always exponentially better than the Oscars' In Memoriam segment),
It's been updated.

I just got a Breaking News notification on my iPhone that actress/director Penny Marshall has died at age 75. Details to come... Unless someone beats me to them.
Just saw it. In shock. R.I.P. Ms. Marshall

Once, when reminiscing about (cartoon) Speed Racer as an adult, it dawned on me all those little sounds Speed always made sounded like something else . . .
