Just reviewing a list of the well known folks who died in 2015 and was very surprised to see Robert Loggia's name on the list. In addition to seeing him pop up in various movies for as long as I can remember, he starred in my absolute favorite t.v. show when I was ten and eleven years old - T.H.E. Cat. Apparently he passed away on December 4th.

Three of my 1960s t.v. "crushes" - Yvonne 'Batgirl' Craig, Donna 'Ellie Mae Clampett" Dixon and Melody 'Wrangler Jane' Patterson all went into permanent syndication this year.

Christopher Lee brought an amazing presence to whatever role he was doing, whether it was Dracula or Sherlock Holmes. Jack Larson, t.v.'s Jimmy Olson, had been out of the spotlight for a long, long time, but it was nice somehow knowing that he was still around somewhere.

Director Wes Craven, stand-up comic and actor Taylor Negron, and author Ann Rule - all favorites.

Thanks, Gypsy, I had glossed over B.B. King in my list. It's still hard to process that he died.

I didn't realize Ann Rule passed. I read most of her books.

Dave Henderson, responsible for one of my greatest sports memories.

Fyrenza. I was on several forums with her over the years. I miss her.

Yeah, I just saw that.

Wow... He was a true legend in many ways.

This is a tough year for rock and roll.

Motorhead was a huge part of my rock years. :headbang:
