The first time I remember seeing Cindy Williams was in America Graffiti, where her character was Richard Dreyfus's sister, Ron Howard's girlfriend, and the girl riding in Harrison Ford's car in the climactic drag race. She had an understated charm.

Loved her in that movie. Shirley and Richie before Happy Days. It was so cool.
Laverne & Shirley was such a LOL tv show. Just as good as Lucy and Jack Tripper when it came to physical comedy. Williams and Marshall were definitely one of the best comedy teams in tv history IMO.

I've used his colognes most of my life. His 1 Million cologne is still very popular.

Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's former Prime Minister, died in exile.
Melinda Dillon, an actress whose over 50-year career specialized on women in emotional turmoil, died on January 9 at age 83, of undisclosed causes. Although she gained acclaim on Broadway in her early 20s by originating the role of the intimidated young wife "Honey" in the original run of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, the emotional demands of the role so traumatized her that she afterwards worked almost entirely on screen. People herein may remember her as Paul Newman's co-star in Slap Shot and in Absence of Malice, and they will almost certainly remember her as the mother of the young boy who is abducted by aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (she meets Richard Dreyfus at Devil's Tower and retrieves her son from the mother ship) and especially as Ralphie's mother in A Christmas Story.
I never knew she was the original Honey. The funny thing is, despite Sandy Dennis playing the role wonderfully in the movie and becoming a more popular film star than Melinda Dillon was, how many young people know who she was compared to Melinda? The latter-day success of A Christmas Story (I saw it in the theaters when it first came out, FWIW) is a good example of the vagaries of time.
RIP
