Agreed. I'm sad to hear this and all prayers to his loved ones. 😢🙏

Me three!! 😂

Again with the masks in the break room. Aggggh. 😡🤬

The Jeopardy tag scene with Becky, Jackie and Harris was really funny. Great job. DJ and Mary sighting! Yay!! No sympathy for Ben. None.

Always one of the show business greats. Thank you, Ms. Leachman, RIP. 🙏❤

I think she takes a lot of pride in raining on everyone else's parade.

Exhibit A: The Chase. For the record, I think she's doing a good job there - as well as on The View.

I really can't add to what the rest of you have said. MM is unbearable...and she always brings everything to a screeching halt. I always look forward to Friday's shows because at least we get Ana.

It reminded me of The Shining!! "Forever and ever...and ever!!"

I just found this great photo:

I could not agree with this post more!!!! 😢💔

If I talked to my mom the way Sheldon talks to his, my face would be rearranged!!

One last thing I'd like to share - after about a decade from retiring from show biz, he was in a local stage production of See How They Run. He was interviewed by the local paper, who included several great photos. This is from late 2009: https://www.ocregister.com/2009/11/16/an-old-pro-returns-to-stage/

It's a great photo. He was a man who overcame poverty and heartbreak - abandoned by his parents when he was just a child and enduring his wife's suicide in 1978 - but the warmth and goodness shone through every role. I was so glad to read that he finished out his life with a happy marriage to a wife who adored him and stepchildren who called him "Dad". He was still getting fan mail! Thankfully, his work will always be around for us to see. 🙏❤

Here's Gregory Sierra in 1975 on the set, and in a 2016 photo a fan posted on Pinterest:

🙏😢💔

I second that emotion. Like Joy Behar, I didn't miss her at all.

Exactly - like Abe Vigoda.

Same.

The entire episode was a perfect showcase for Gregory Sierra's talent - and one of the best of the series itself. 46 years later, it is still raw and harrowing. Mr. Sierra's widow speaks to CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/23/entertainment/gregory-sierra-obituary-trnd/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2DP4mFT1j4H5kx5xcJOOi6NY01airFJAoZBafPPGps0u54wYdzOW4TnOo

Hal Linden and Barbara Barrie are both scheduled to turn 90 in the not-so-distant future - he in March, she in May.

Very well said!! He had bit parts in many movies and TV episodics, but too few where he was right in the spotlight. Maybe he was too pigeonholed into the "ethnic" roles. In any case, Gregory Sierra was a very engaging and multifaceted actor. My favorite guest roles of his were as the head of a family of vagabonds in The Waltons episode entitled "The Gypsies" and as a lovestruck Armenian piano player (!!) in the Kung Fu episode called "The Stone". The latter was especially great because he got to play a romantic story, which he seldom got to do on screen. God bless him. ❤

This is the one that has really gutted me. 🙏😢💔 https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/gregory-sierra-actor-on-barney-miller-and-sanford-and-son-dies-at-83/ar-BB1d0o8k?ocid=msedgntp

I kind of want to see Josh's dad so Jackie and Becky can fight over him. 😉😂

Personally, Emilio the character has always given me the creeps. I don't like the idea of him and Becky as a couple. Co-parents and friends, but nothing more.
