RIP Professor. If anybody wants to make a radio out of coconut shells and things that the tide brings in, you're on your own now.

If I'm not mistaken, only Dawn Wells and Tina Louise are left from the main cast.

That's right
I loved that show. Used to watch the reruns all the time.

 

[Sublime]

Dawn Wells was a dead set hottie in her day.

Bye bye professor

Sadly, to complete the trifecta, we also lost Reuben Kincaid in the last day or so.

I used to enjoy his stoushes with Danny Partridge. Made for some amusing television.

RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman... Apparent overdose

RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman... Apparent overdose

One of my faves.Thought Owning Mahoney was his best lead role, but some of his support roles were brilliant.

Plus he taught me the word shart.

 

[Salaryman]

shit

Owning Mahoney, Happiness, The Master

 

[Stamos]

So sad. He had so much talent.

 

[Sublime]

Sad how the most talented are often the most troubled.

 

[HBF]

Not the sort of news you like to wake up to.
A tremendously talented actor, and one of those rare actors that I don't think I ever saw in a bad role.
Only watched Moneyball the other day and even in a supporting role he was very very good.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

That's a shock. In acting terms and this generation, the guy is huge. Sublime actor and a huge loss to the movie going public. I feel a little ripped off as he no doubt had some stellar works left in him and now we will never know.

Terrible for all concerned. He was 23 years clean until he fell off the wagon a couple of years ago.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Apparently he was found with a syringe in his arm-can't link the article cos I've used all my free visits to the age and all the interstate papers too
Very sad news.

Very sad news.

And multiple open envelopes that contain or contained drugs. Almost seems like he had a psychotic episode and set out to wreck himself.

 

[Aphrodite]

Very sad news.

Gone way too soon at 46.

R.I.P Philip Seymour Hoffman

The most gifted actor of his generation

OSCAR-WINNING actor Philip Seymour Hoffman has been found dead of an apparent drug overdose - in the bathroom with a hypodermic needle still in his arm - inside his Manhattan home.

Hollywood is reeling from yet another untimely drug death, with news of the popular character actor's battles with substance abuse coming as a shock to many.
Hoffman had reportedly been living sober since the age of 23, but had spent time in a rehabilitation facility last year after turning to heroin.

His death - bizarrely coming just days after rumours swept the internet in a sick hoax - has robbed the film industry of one of its finest character actors.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Wow what a sad way to start my week with the news of Phillips Seymour Hoffman's death, one off my favs and I don't have too many of them. For the first time in a long time I just shouted at the radio when I heard the news. Yes he was a sublime actor.

 

[Jatz]

Thought he was brilliant in the Ides of March with Gosling.

One of the actors you wish wouldn't have gone in such a way.

RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman

 

[Kramer1]

Often wonder why so many actos and muso's go this way...is it a psychological quirk of an 'artist' or is it simply a function of lifestyle...fame, fortune, no day to day responsibility, spare time etc creating potential for addictions.

From my position of no understanding whatsoever this guy has the respect of his peers, fame without being tabloid fodder (until today), the resources to deal with whatever issues should befall him, intelligence and most importantly a family and three children...where exactly does this leave room for an out of control heroin habit???

 

[Dramoth]

Wow... just massive in terms of history this one. I didnt even realise that Shirley was still alive.
Shirley Temple Dead at 85

Temple died on Monday at home in Woodside, California, from natural causes. “She was surrounded by her family and caregivers,” a statement said.
“We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and... our beloved mother, grandmother [and] great-grandmother.

Shirley Temple Dead at 85

Shirley was a genuine star of the silver screen and her talent and good will to all will be missed... RIP Shirley Temple

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Good get Dram. One of the very earliest silver screen legends I recall knowing about. Did very well to carve out an impressive career after acting as well.

Her acting heyday was so long ago, that it feels like she should be 100 and long gone. I do remember hearing she was alive a few years ago and hearing about her accomplishments.

RIP. Another from the golden age of Hollywood bites the dust.

 

[Aphrodite]

RIP Shirley Temple

My all time favourite child star. So adorable & what a talent!

Her legend will live on!!

On the good ship lollipop!
