Aw this one hits home.  My sister had dinner with him and Tobe Hooper (both of Poltergeist) and James regaled them with tales of his New York days with buddy Marlon Brando.

RIP

Loved James Karen (his last name is my name, heh!)  Anyway, he played a good bad guy and for me I'll never forget his role in The Jeffersons as a KKK leader who moved into George's building:

I have lived in Boston all my life. Whitey Bulger was a one man, wrecking ball.

Protected by his brother Billy, President of the State Senate, and the FBI, he ruined and destroyed many lives. 

He should have been killed years ago. He's 89 years old and now you kill him?  When his reign of carnage is over?

I don't have a link to this as it was posted on Facebook...Kenny Marks, singer-songwriter for Christian Pop/Rock music throughout the 1980's, died today...He was around 68 years old. His radio hits included "White Dress".."The Party's Over" and "Another Friday Night"..I had his album "Make it Right" for years...still one of my favorites...and listening today it made me realize how much Christian music has changed...and not really for the better....RIP Kenny....

From ESPN: Willie McCovey, Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and San Francisco Giants Legend, Dead At Age 80

He was my late mother's favorite player (debuting on her birthday).  I missed seeing him play for real by a couple of years, but did get to see him in a couple of old timers' games in the '80s.

Freddie Hart, Classic Country Singer and Songwriter, Dead at 91

My very first concert was when I was a kid and went with my parents to see Freddie Hart and Tanya Tucker.  I wasn't much into the music but the entire day holds great family memories.

Legendary Cleveland guitarist, Glenn Schwartz, has died at 78.  He played lead guitar for the James Gang and Pacific Gas & Electric. He was replaced by his good friend, Joe Walsh, in the James Gang.  He was renowned for his playing; Jimi Hendrix asked him to play at his birthday party, Joe Walsh has said Schwartz was the best guitarist he'd ever seen and credited him with teaching him to play.  Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin and Frank Zappa all admired his work. He was quite the local character in Cleveland, playing out around town frequently and sharing his born-again beliefs from the stage.

I hadn't either, only because I have this memory (either manufactured or misplaced) about him dying.  Obviously, I was wrong...

 

Maybe you confused his capture with his death. He was captured in 2011 after being on the run for 16 years.

!  He had the most memorable voice (and I liked the twist of the latter movie in which HAL proved heroic).  RIP, Mr. Rain.

I just heard the news about Stan Lee. He had talent, but even more a wonderfully imaginative mind that created unforgettable superheroes. His creations (superheroes and villains) are still vivid in my childhood memories and will be in the memories of children for generations to come. It is an amazing legacy. Marvel has done much of its talent the dirty. Stan Lee was one of the few who was able to get it to paid what he was due. I will miss his cameos in the MCU movies. I have no doubt they will dedicate Avengers Infinity War 2 to him.

Rest in peace, Stan.

I'm not up on what Marvel movies are in what stage of production, but I'm sure we'll see him in Captain Marvel and Infinity War 2 .  Will those be the last 2 or are there others far enough in production that he might appear?

Those are the last two MCU movies that we will see Stan Lee in. None of the other movies in the MCU pipeline have started filming.

Was he in the news recently for something? When I heard about his passing today, I was surprised, because I thought he had passed earlier this year.

I think he might have been hospitalized for something a few months ago.  Pneumonia maybe?  I also remember being there at least one time when his death was falsely reported.

I think he was hospitalized a few months back and I believe there were also some rumors of elder abuse involved.

If it makes you feel any better, Stan Lee and Marvel filmed several cameos well in advance last year.

I don't know exactly how many they did, but he will be in future movies.
