Sometimes It Happens In Sevens (or more)


Dick Martin: Actor, Comedian - Laugh-In
Sydney Pollack: Actor, Director, Producer - Tootsie, Out Of Africa
Yves Saint Laurant: Fashion Designer
Harvey Korman: Actor, Comedian - The Carol Burnett Show, Blazing Saddles
Bo Diddley: Legendary Rock'n'Roll Pioneer, and one of my dad's faves
Paul Sills: Founder of SCTV...Nuff said...
Fredric Baur: Inventor of the Pringles "packaging system"...

All of these men died within the last week or so...

I could also mention that young British actor, Robert Knox, who was stabbed to death about ten days ago...Or the composer of the Star Trek theme song, Alexander Courage, died a few days ago...And speaking of composers, what about Earl Hagen, an Emmy winner who wrote theme songs for "The Andy Griffith Show", "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "The Mod Squad"...

Oh, and two weeks ago, the original drummer for RUSH, John Rutsey, passed away...
It's been a rough week for our beloved celebrities...
Hotcha! Hank
