Actress Janet Waldo has passed away at 96. Waldo was most famous as the voice of Judy Jetson. She also voiced Penelope Pitstop in Wacky Races and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Morticia Addams, in the H-B Addams Family cartoons, and Princess, in Battle of the Planets. She began her career in radio and also appeared in several classic tv shows, including an episode of I Love Lucy (which also featured fellow radio star Richard Crenna) and the Andy Griffith Show. She was the last surviving cast member of The Jetsons.

How sad. I grew up with shows like The Jetsons and Wacky Races. R.I.P. to Ms. Waldo.

Ann Morgan Guibert, who played Millie Helper, Rob and Laura Petrie's friend and neighbor, on the Dick Van Dyke Show has passed away. She was also Sophia Loren's mother in Grumpier Old men (even though she was only 6 years older) and Fran Drescher's Grandma Yetta, on The Nanny. She was a terrific actress and could have easily headlined her own show, had anyone in Hollywood the brains to see beyond "movie star looks."

Just saw this on Comicbook com. Very sad to see such a young talented person taken before their time. He was a great Chekov. My heart goes out to his family, its a horrible thing to lose a child.

[jeanvaljean]

He was awesome. Way too young.
Sounds like a freak accident, it seems. Horrible.

Pat Summitt, legendary Tennessee basketball coach, dies at 64

I've seen the effects of Dementia up close, and it's horribly tragic wasting disease. Especially so for someone as relatively young as she was. I feel for her family, RIP.
