Ugh. Also Narcissa Malfoy in Harry Potter and the inquiry chairwoman in Skyfall. And real life Mrs. Damian Lewis.

 

[C. Lee]

Felix Silla of Addams Family and Buck Rogers died at age 84

Met Felix at a con in Indianapolis around 20 years ago. It was a weekend show at a hotel. On Friday evening after the con was closed for the night, I was sitting in the lobby just relaxing. Felix came in and asked if anyone was sitting in the chair next to me, I said no, and he took it. We could see out the front door that it was snowing, and he started asking about the snow because he had only seen it once before. We then sat and talked about the weather, family, and all things not acting related for the next couple of hours. He was a soft spoken shy type of guy. I got the sense that he really liked being treated like a regular guy instead of being fawned over because he was famous. It was nice meeting you Mr. Silla.

The oldest living American passed:

‘Her light shined’: Charlotte’s Hester Ford, oldest living American, dies at 116 years old.

116 - wow. She definitely lived a long life.

This part in the article is amazing to me:

She was married to John Ford, a steelworker, at the age of 15 and they later moved to Charlotte in 1953. She was married to John for 45 years when he died in 1963.

Her husband died in 1963 and they had been married for 45 years at that point.

 

[Teelie]

At this age she concievably has some great-great-great grandchildren walking around somewhere.

 

[terry78]

I know it was a different time but yeah....married at 15.

 

[Schlosser85]

I know it was a different time but yeah....married at 15.

My grandmother got married around the same age (a shotgun wedding, as she was already knocked up) and proceeded to pretty much be perpetually pregnant for the next couple decades and had fourteen children. Yeesh.

And we got you out of the deal.

My grandmother got married at 16. It was a different time I guess. One child, but my mom was raised by her grandmother and a couple of her kids were about the same age as my mom so she grew up in a pretty big family.

Kind of an offshoot of a Titanic story I guess.

 

[carrrnuttt]

I know it was a different time but yeah....married at 15.

They got married around 1918 so yeah, sounds about par for that time period.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

My grandmother got married at 16. It was a different time I guess.

People can get married at 16 in the UK now.

 

[InCali]

People can get married at 16 in the UK now.

I think people “can” get married even younger in some states with parental consent. It’s probably just not a very good idea.

saw that Jim Steinman died did not know a lot of what he did but the stuff he did with Meat Loaf was great but the one thing I remember BEST was his theme for Hulk Hogan in the 80s (which was used for the 80s Hulk Hogan cartoon too)

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Hadn't heard about Jim Steinman. Love his work with Meat Loaf, and also Bonnie Tyler. RIP
