It's been a bad week...

...for celebrities, anyway.

First, it was June Allyson. Then it was Syd Barrett.

Today, it's Barnard Hughes. I find this enormously ironic, given that Tony gave me a copy of The Lost Boys for my birthday, and the wonderfully talented Mr. Hughes played Grandpa - which gave him the classic line, "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires."

I could go on a rant about "and who do we have to replace them? Fluff like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears?" but I went on that rant the last time I did a celebrity obit post, so I'm not going to this time.

Anyway, I hope they all rest in peace.

What is remembered, lives.

Yeah, and we also lost Red Buttons today. If you believe in the rule of threes, we've go two more to go.

I loved June Allyson. She was always so damn perky.

Well, there's only one more to go in the newest set of three if we started over with Red Buttons (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13845337/) - the actress who played Louise Tate on Bewitched, Kasey Rogers (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13841004/) also died today (well, I heard about it today, but it was apparently last week).
