Besides, Joe Cocker, I just researched and found many more we lost in 2014. Among them are:
- Robin Williams. What a loss. Miss you.
- Maya Angelou! and STILL I RISE…. !
- Joan Rivers (does not drum up the same feelings). Funniest quote from her: Some years after her husband committed suicide, she and her daughter were in a restaurant looking at the menu and she said, “Oh, if your father were here looking at these prices, he would kill himself all over again!”
- James Garner (Rockford Files)
- ELI WALLACH — The Good the Bad and the Ugly!
- RUBY DEE
- Ann B. Davis, the annoying maid on Brady Bunch
- Ralph Waite – father of JOHN BOY!
- Shirley Temple BLACK — on the good ship Lollipop
- Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the one everyone was sad and horrified about, but the real thing is, this is what drugs do and they are not safe to play around with. Stop doing them.
- Ruth Duccini – the last surviving female MUNCHKIN!!
- Russell Johnson, “the Professor” on Gilligan’s Island and a heartthrob for me in my teens
- Harold Ramis — GHOSTBUSTERS! friend of Bill Murray and the one I liked in the movie.
- Jim Lange, a man I watched on TV in my later teens on the stupidest show ever, “Dating Game”, I guess a precursor to a stupider show, “The Bachelor”
- MICKEY ROONEY! I liked him in “The Black Stallion”
- Bob Hoskins, the older male character in Roger Rabbit
- Casey Kasem! TOP 40 COUNTDOWN and one of the few popular Arab Americans, unbeknownst to many
Quite a lot of souls who will be missed. It strikes me how little time we have and that we never know how much time we have in this world.
