Sorry to hear about Eric Dane's diagnosis. That sucks.

Just found out Jay was the voice of teenage Bamm Bamm on the Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show in 1971. I did know Sally Struthers played teenage Pebbles.

 

 

Also did not know those two movies were directed by the same person! RIP.

I wonder how much (if any ) interaction Miss Struthers might have had with the recently deceased Mr. North when they voiced the teen Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm? I know that in the original series the performers voicing Fred and Wilma as well as the senior Rubbles all worked together as though they were doing a radio play but I'm not sure that was still the case of this latter cartoon (and by the 1970's often each voice artist would come in and read their own lines which would then get edited for the final product).  The irony though was that the teens' performers were at very different points in their career arcs with Miss Struthers on the way to becoming famous playing another (caustic instead of teddy bear)  loudmouth's daughter in All in the Family while Mr. North had already had his main claim to fame as Dennis.

Don't know if Sally and Jay were in the recording booth together but I did find this cute picture of Sally and Alan Reed, the voice of Fred Flintstone:

Singer and actor Mike Berry, who was the last surviving main cast member of sitcom Are You Being Served?, has died at the age of 82.

There was a time when every PBS station ran Are You Being Served? pretty much every day. I probably saw every episode 20 times over.

FWIW, Miss Marsh played a supporting player in the the 1980's US sitcom remake of the movie 9 to 5. 

One might consider this  was a step down from her prestige as the creator, producer, writer and STAR of the iconic Upstairs Downstairs. However, Miss Marsh herself would claim that she actually got paid MORE for this US sitcom's supporting role than she had for ALL her contributions to her homeland's landmark series!

Rather sad.

In any case, she DID do an excellent job with that fantastic series (especially the first years). RIP, Miss Marsh.

It really does. I can't imagine how his daughters feel. As for his career, he really hit his stride as an actor with Euphoria and I really was looking forward to him playing JR Ewing-type roles as he continued his 50's and then entered 60's. It's crazy how our bodies can just turn against ourselves.
