In Memoriam

[Phoenixx9]

Sounds like King Kong Bundy may have passed.

Yes. I believe I read that he was only 61.

80s heartthrob Jan-Michael Vincent passed away.

80s heartthrob Jan-Michael Vincent passed away.

Oh no! The stars are dropping like flies!

Jan Michael made some great 70's movies, that were of that time. And he always had perfect hair, lol!

I know Jan had struggled with drugs and the bottle since the 70's. In a way, I am surprised he lasted this long. I think he had been I'll for a while--maybe something with his liver?

It's funny how much younger he looked than he actually was back in the '70s, but his age finally caught up to him by the '80s (and his voice sounded much older than that). Of his work, Hooper and The Mechanic come to mind first.

RIP

For me, he was always Stringfellow Hawke on AIRWOLF.

I watched the show back then and still occasionally today, BA, but it wasn't really one of my favorites. I was going out a lot by then, too ( I was in my late teens-early '20s), so I didn't watch as much network TV as I once did.

The movie where he was the semi trucker driver and had to clean up small town who ran a contraband racket with the sheriff, lol. It came on TCM as a truck block of moives several months ago. White something, great 70s trucker movie. Back when that was a thing, RIP.

White Line Fever was the name of the film. I saw that at the local drive-in with my family back in the mid-'70s. Good film and has the honor of being the first thing I ever saw him in.

YES! Where's the like button. I had no idea that was the movie poster, I had a totally different image in mind. I'd have never gotten the name.

I was in middle school, so I was just the right age for that...cool high tech attack helicopters, super-spies, terrorists with high-tech hardware. What wasn't there to love?

I definitely can understand that, BA.

Marshall Brodien, magician and creator of TV Magic Cards has died from the complications of Alzheimer's disease at age 84.

He started doing magic tricks as a child, eventually worked as a carnival barker at Chicago's Riverview amusement park. He also performed for some of Chicago's mobsters at their private parties and once had a gun put to his head when it was demanded that he reveal the secrets of the disappearing bird cage trick.

Most viewers of a certain age in the greater Chicagoland era remember him as the wacky Wizzo the Wizard on WGN's Bozo's Circus. Brodien joined the cast that included Bob Bell as Bozo (whose was an inspiration for Krusty the Clown on the Simpsons) and Roy Brown was Cooky the cook.

There were plenty of kids like myself that would have lunch with Bozo, Wizzo (who was a semi-regular) and Cooky.
