RIP Celebrity Thread - Part 4

[Primal Slayer]

I was not expecting to wake up to the news of Shannen passing away. As a massive fan who watched just about everything she was in, followed her podcast closely it is truly sad that just a week ago she was so full of life and excited to start her journey re-watching Charmed with her co-stars. Shows how quickly cancer can take everything from you. It's a shame she never truly got recognized by Hollywood for how great of an actress she was.

 

[Drizzle]

I never saw any of the shows Shannen Doherty was famous for like 90210 or Charmed, but Mallrats was a huge deal to me as a teenager and Heathers is just an all-around iconic movie in general.

Damn I knew she had cancer, but I didn't expect her not to beat it.

 

[Teelie]

It was stage 4 and in her brain. Unfortunately it was only a matter of time.

A really solid player. Really too young.

I first took notice of him in HILL STREET BLUES, that's when I started recognizing him in small roles in many films that I had seen before. He was a good character actor.

Oh, no. I've been a huge fan of Bob Newhart since the 70s. One of the funniest men who ever lived, no doubt. It's nice that a new generation got to know him as Professor Proton on The Big Bang Theory. RIP - and thank you for making me laugh till it hurt so many times

RIP to a legend.

A legend, a comedic genius with a singular, unmistakable style. Seemingly never sacrificed his morals to win in Hollywood. Part of the greatest sitcom fiinale of all-time.
