Re: Glen Campbell
If there's a rock and roll heaven, the band will probably ask Glen to play.
On his TV show he used to ask his guests where they were from. Jim Nabors was from Sylacauga, Alabama, just down the road from Talladega. Glen was proudly from DEE-light, Arkansas.

I don't think he qualifies for greatness. Loudness, yes. He got way more publicity than he deserved.

He did an admirable job stepping in as the villain without being a clone or a caricature.

Re: Burt Reynolds: (February 11, 1936 — September 6, 2018)
Just saw him a while ago in City Heat with Clint Eastwood - love the scene where they compete in pulling out bigger and bigger guns.

Re: Stan Lee, 95
He even appeared on Big Bang Theory later in life.
I never heard of him until Big Bang Theory - but I recognized him in his cameos in the movies based on his characters.
He went out on top.
