My husband and I were talking about him on Thursday. I knew Chuck Berry had passed but we weren't sure on Little Richard.

TMZ is reporting that Roy Horn (he of Siegfried and Roy fame) has died from Covid 19 RIP ROY. Hubby and I saw their show back in Feb 2001 and we thought it was really good. And then Roy had that heartbreaking accident. The show ended. We never got to to see them, but seeing that animal attack him , scared me. They just just said he had Covid complications, perhaps he had an underlying health issue. Very, very sad.

I think Dateline just did a special on S&R a week or so ago. He never fully recovered from the night he either had a stroke or Montecore attacked him (or both). He could barely walk on his own, and his speech was difficult to understand. RIP.

It was 20/20, not Dateline.

Good golly! I'm sad to see Little Richard go! He was such an icon of my youth. Such a wonderfully talented and colorful guy. RIP sir!

Little Richard another icon of my grade school/junior high years. His music was fast and got your heart pumping when you danced to it. RIP

RIP, Mr. Stiller! Thanks for a lot of good laughs!
I was lucky enough to see him on Broadway in Hurlyburly back in 1984. Such a treat!

Oh no. I'm so sad about Jerry Stiller. He was so wonderful in all he did from Seinfeld to King of Queens. I remember seeing him years ago with his wife Anne on the talk show circuit on shows like The Mike Douglas Show,etc. Now he's reunited with his beloved Anne. RIP Jerry.

I never watched Seinfeld, or King of Queens, I loved them before all that, and I think their son is also very funny. They seemed like a very close family.

I loved Stiller and Meara, but he was not at all my favorite part of The king of Queens. I did like him in his son's movies and he was gold on Seinfeld tho He is with his Anne now.. RIP.

It makes me feel old to see so many classic actors/actresses passing away & seeing their ages. How'd they get so old so fast?

Fred Willard has passed away from natural causes. Another eye twinkle dimmed.

Wow, Fred Willard and Frank Bilec are two really tough ones for me. I feel like I grew up watching Fred on TV and Frank was always my favorite designer (in personality, if not in actual design) on Trading Spaces. Does it seem like more people are dying lately? I mean, yes, so many people are dying from Covid, but the majority of the celebrity deaths in this thread lately aren't from that.

That breaks my heart. Frank came to Phoenix for a Home & Garden show about 20 years ago, and there was NO way I was going to miss it. He gave a wonderful talk about how everyone could be artistic (in one way or another), and then demonstrated a faux wall treatment. Afterwards, I got a hug and a picture with him (which I can't find!). How sad for his wife, Judy. They were devoted to each other. Attachments:

I saw a meme that said something like "And all of a sudden no one died of anything else" Yes. Unfortunately people are still dying of many many different things. May they rest in peace.
