RIP Larry King
January 23rd, 2021 under Obits. [ Comments: none ]






Larry King passed away this morning at the age of 87 after being hospitalized with COVID-19 for a few weeks, according to his Twitter account.

King started his career in Miami doing radio. He then got a national talk show where he caught the eye of CNN. Therefore, in 1985 they gave him a show, and he stayed there for 25 years.

In that quarter of a century, he interviewed everyone from celebrities, World leaders, murderers, ordinary people, and historical figures. He had his own special way, would be a nice way to put it, of interviewing people. Because of that, you wanted to watch him and see what he would ask these people. You never knew what was going to come out of his mouth. Even knowing that, people still flocked to his show and to him.

In 2012, he started his company and created a new talk show on OraTV called Larry King Now. He continued interviewing people up until last year. Even after having a stroke in 2019 did not stop him.

In fact, in his 87 years, he beat several health issues, including heart surgery, cancer, diabetes, and many more ailments. However, it was COVID-19 that finally got him.

Today, remember him by watching his interviews. See how his style influenced so many.

Costco is closing all of its photo centers
January 15th, 2021 under Obits. [ Comments: none ]


Valentine’s Day just got a whole lot sadder because Costco announced that they will be closing all of its photo centers on that day.

However, you still will be able to order Prints, Enlargements & Posters, Stationery & Photo Greeting Cards, Canvas, Metal & Acrylic Prints, Photo Books & Calendars, Photo Blankets & Other Photo Gifts, and Business Printing Products online. That is the good news. The bad news is that they will no longer offer Ink Refill, Passport Photos, Photo Restoration, and YesVideo Home Movie Transfer Service.

It makes sense, because who still takes photos with film, but it is still sad. Does anyone know a Costco member who can take me inside of one so that I can take a photo of a photo center before they make a like a photograph?

Tanya Roberts passed away after being reported dead
January 5th, 2021 under Obits. [ Comments: none ]


On Sunday night, there were reports that Tanya Roberts passed away at the age of 65. Then yesterday, her boyfriend, Lance O’Brien, found out during an interview with Inside Edition that she was still alive. Today, O’Brien told TMZ that Cedars Sinai called and told him that she did not make it.

What happened because this all so weird? O’Brien tells Page Six that he called her publicist after he saw Roberts for the last time. “I say, ‘I just said goodbye to Tanya, and I got to see her beautiful eyes one last time.’ And after that, I’m just blubbering,” O’Brien recalled. That is why the publicist assumed that she died. It wasn’t until O’Brien got the phone call the next day that he found out she was still alive for a few more hours.

O’Brien also clarified what happened in the days leading up to her death. He says she started having breathing and intestinal issues on December 23rd. She went to sleep. Then the actress woke up at 4a, fell out of bed, and could not get up. That is when she was rushed to the hospital.

When he was there, doctors explained that she had a bad UTI that mixed with her Hepatitis C, and wreaked havoc on her body. “What happened was her kidneys degraded, her liver degraded, then her gall bladder degraded, then she got a blood infection in her entire body.’” O’Brien said. At that point, there was nothing they could do for her. She was taken off of life support and passed away last night.

May she be at peace.

Tanya Robers passed away today at the age of 65, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio. The cause of her death is unknown, but it was not COVID-19 related.

Roberts had a long career with many iconic roles. Throughout the years, she played several sex symbols, including one of the Angels in the final season of Charlie’s Angels. Roberts is one of the few women to be a Bond Girl. She starred alongside Roger Moore in 1985’s A View to a Kill. The actress was also seen in the Sci-Fi classics Sheena and Beastmaster.

However, to most of you, she will be remembered most for playing Donna’s progressive mom on That ’70s Show. A role she opted to leave in 2001 to spend time with her dying husband, Barry Roberts, who died in 2006.

To me, I will always remember her from the Horror movie Tourist Trap. It was the first film that gave me nightmares. Why my father let me watch it when I was a kid, I will never know. In fact, it still scares me.

I am going to watch it again in her honor. Tonight, let’s keep her beauty alive by watching one of her many memorable roles.

Dawn Wells passed away this morning at the age of 82 from COVID-19 complications, according to her publicist Harlan Boll.

In 1964, she landed the role of a lifetime. Ever since then, she has been playing America’s Sweetheart on and off of Gilligan’s Island. Wells was the girl next door who was as sweet as her coconut pies.

Today, let’s remember her by singing the theme song and watching the show that made her an icon.
