I don't know who Alex Trebek was but I just watched this on Youtube. He actually looks like he was one of the genuinely nice guys that will be missed.

Peter Sutcliffe, evil bastard that he was, died yesterday(?). I remember the terror at the time, but wasn't old enough to really understand it.

Sad to hear. I didn't realise he was 85. I remember him as the Green Cross Code man too.

Sorry to see that Dame Barbara Windsor has died.

Alzheimer's is the cruellest of diseases.

She'd always been there. That laugh...
“Man, my poor head is battered,” Ed said.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

Heard the news, really sad. She will always be an iconic legend.

May she finally rest in peace.

Farewell to a superb actress!

Boba Fett actor Jeremy Bulloch has died aged 75. Seemingly he was suffering from Parkinson's for some time now. Just after his character was introduced in the Mandalorian too.

May the force be with you, R.I.P. Jeremy.

Shocking how many celebrities made their final bow in 2020.

The most notable names, including some very, very young ones... :cry:
