Damn.....I really liked her. Her performance in Sean Connery's OUTLAND was great, and her role in Stephen King's GOLDEN YEARS was touching.

I know her best from The Closer. She was wonderful in that.

This is very upsetting to me. I've been a fan for a long time. I was even blessed to have met him in person.

Norman Lear, Whose Comedies Changed the Face of TV, Is Dead at 101

Norman Lear, the television writer and producer who introduced political and social commentary into situation comedy with “All in the Family” and other shows, proving that it was possible to be topical as well as funny while attracting millions of viewers, died on Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 101.

Whoa. That's huge. This man pretty much helped define television throughout the 1970s and 80s.

RIP Mr. Lear.

He created a lot of good TV shows. RIP, Norman Lear. Congrats on making it to 101.

Also, RIP to Denny Laine, co-founder of The Moody Blues.

A sad day in Hollywood, but at 101, Norman Lear clearly lived a full and fulfilling life. He’s still the undisputed king of the sitcoms in my book.

RIP Mr Lear.

101 is a hell of a run. RIP Norman Lear

I've heard that laughter is healthy for you. Carl Reiner, Norman Lear, and (still with us) Mel Brooks have all lived long lives and, for those of us who saw their work, I'd like to think we'll all be a little bit older before we leave the world.

RIP Henry Kissinger.

Kissinger had a long run. 100 is pretty respectable. RIP.

Yeah, no... he gets no rest in peace from me

Yeah, no... he gets no rest in peace from me

I'm an atheist, but picturing him in hell roasting on a spit next to Hitler and his people, Nixon, Reagan, and Limbaugh comforts me.

IMMA "I don't know WTH is going on", but as horrible people go, as long as they can't do any more damage, I have no feelings about their ongoing pain or suffering. They just don't matter to me. They do, however, provide inspiration to people who actually can wreak havoc.

Anyway, we all go someday; good and bad......As the World Turns
