Golden Globe winning actress Christine Kaufmann, once married to Tony Curtis, died of cancer at age 72.

First saw this beauty in Taras Bulba. Wished I had seen her in more films, thought it appears she had a long career in Europe. BTW, Tony didn't deserve either her or Janet Leigh.

Glamorous actress Lola Albright also died recently in her early nineties. Probably best known for her role as the titular character's girlfriend on Peter Gunn, she could be seen in a variety of big-budget films from the '40s until the '60s.



RIP to both both ladies

Just got an alert on my phone that legendary comic Don Rickles passed away today at 90.

Yeah, I just heard Mr. Warmth died. Another all-time great that always seemed to be a part of my life.

First time I saw him had to be on The Munsters back in the late '60s, but my favorite role of his is Ray Milland's sleazy business partner in X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes. A very good dramatic actor, IMO.

RIP, you hockey puck!

Oh, what a legend. I loved that part he had in the "Man with the X-Ray Eyes." He had this one line that I would not doubt was ad-libbed where someone from the audience at the club the Don Rickles was running was asking the Ray Milland character (who could see everything and was doing an act there) a question something like this "Can you tell me where my mother is?" and Rickles said "She's flying around the pier on her broomstick"

If you can find it, one of the last times Don Rickles was on David Letterman's show he was on the same night where Denzel Washington was the first guest. When he was done with his segment, Denzel asked David if he could stay on the couch and be there when Don Rickles came on. He hardly said anything and just laughed while Rickles did his thing.

Brilliant! A master at the peak of his craft. Mr. Warmth will be missed.

The man was still sharp and quick right up to the end. One thing that also came through regarding his act and interviews was that he was a nice guy in reality. That's why he could get away with his zingers over the decades.

Thank you, Scott.

Yeah, he had many friends and Jimmy Kimmel was even half crying last night talking about him. He connected with a lot of the younger comics and they felt like they really made it if Rickles liked you. He goes back quite a ways in show business. I remember watching this WWII submarine battle movie called Run Silent, Run Deep with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Don Rickles has a small part in that. How many people are around today that were in a picture with Gable?
