Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Jessica Walter passed away in her sleep today at the age of 80. “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of my beloved mom Jessica,” her daughter told Deadline. “A working actor for over six decades, her greatest pleasure was bringing joy to others through her storytelling both on-screen and off. While her legacy will live on through her body of work, she will also be remembered by many for her wit, class and overall joie de vivre.”

Walter began her career in 1960, and never stopped acting. Throughout most of her career, she guest-starred on some of the biggest shows of our time like Marcus Welby, M.D., Hawaii Five-0, Trapper John, M.D., Murder, She Wrote, The Big Bang Theory, and so many more. Then in 2003, she landed a role that finally made her a household name. Of course, that role was Lillith Bluth in Arrested Development. A role she reprised for the Netflix revival. However, that was not the only role she was doing at the time. She was also the voice of Mallory Archer on the FX animated show Archer.

Those are her two most infamous roles, but I always loved hearing her voice on Dinosaurs as the loving mom Fran Sinclair. However, a new generation will remember from 90210. Other people knew her from the movie Play Misty for Me. No matter what you knew her from, you always knew who she was. That is because she brought class to whatever role she took. She oozed it, and we are going to miss that about the actress.

She might no longer be with us, but we can still watch and enjoy her work from the last 60 years. Therefore, let’s all make some time to watch something she did to her beautiful light alive.

There is just one more thing I must add. She and George Segal played a married couple on the TV Land sitcom Retired at 35. It is crazy that they both retired to heaven within two days of each other. RIP to two legends.

George Segal passed away today at the age of 87. “The family is devastated to announce that this morning George Segal passed away due to complications from bypass surgery,” his wife Sonia said in a statement.

Segal started acting in front of the camera in 1960, and he never stopped. Six years into his career, he received an Oscar nomination for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. From then on, he starred in movies and shows like The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, Where’s Poppa, Fun with Dick and Jane, and the Look Who’s Talking franchise, Take Five, and Murphy’s Law.

However, his biggest roles came later on in life. In 1997, he landed the role of grumpy Jack Gallo in Just Shoot Me. Finally, in 2013, he was cast in his last role, one he played almost to the end. He starred as the lovable Pops on The Goldbergs. He was the type of grandfather that everyone wants to have as their own. That is why today, show creator Adam F. Goldberg said this about the man he cast to play his Pops, “Today we lost a legend. It was a true honor being a small part of George Segal’s amazing legacy. By pure fate, I ended up casting the perfect person to play Pops. Just like my grandfather, George was a kid at heart with a magical spark. I think these memories say it all…”

It is the perfect way to characterize the actor. Today, let’s keeps his magical spark alive by watching him in one of his many roles throughout his career.

He is survived by his wife Sonia and two daughters, Polly and Elizabeth, from his first marriage to Marion Sobel.

Dustin Diamond passed away today at the age of 44 after a very short battle with cancer.

His team released this statement, “We are saddened to confirm of Dustin Diamond’s passing on Monday, February 1st, 2021 due to carcinoma. He was diagnosed with this brutal, relentless form of malignant cancer only three weeks ago. In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution. Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.”

Diamond is best known for playing Screech on Saved By the Bell. Even though the role made him a household name, it also destroyed him. After the show ended, he had a hard time with life, including an arrest, bankruptcy, and a sex tape.

He appeared on several reality shows as the bad guy. It was an image they created for him, but it wasn’t him. He never got a chance to redeem himself. Hopefully, now he will get it.

Today, let’s remember his good times and watch him in the role that made us fall in love with the lovable nerd.

Cloris Leachman passed away in her sleep at the age of 94, according to the AP.

Cloris Leachman was a beloved actress that was as zany as she seemed on the screen. That is why we loved her whether she was the judgmental Phyllis on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, the supportive Beverly Ann on The Facts of Life, or the bitchy grandmother on Malcolm in the Middle or Raising Hope. She had a way of making you laugh with her face as well as with the lines they gave her.

She was a beautiful woman, and that is why she competed in the Miss America pageant. However, she had no problem getting ugly for the role of Frau Blücher (neigh) in Young Frankenstein and many others.

Leachman did whatever it took to win the audience. Something that was very easy to do because she was such a lovable character on and off of the camera.

She was a special lady until the end of her life, and that is why she never stopped acting or talking risks. Risks like doing Dancing with the Stars at the age of 82 or stripping down in her 80s.

They truly broke the mold when they made her, and the World is a sadder place without her in it. While she might be gone, her work lives on. Today, let’s honor her by watching many of the things she did to make us fall in love with her.
