Re: Anthony Martignetti
That brings back memories of my youth, I remember that commercial very well. There was a nice write up about him here: Anthony Martignetti, star of iconic 1969 Prince Spaghetti commercial, dies at 63 - The Boston Globe

Oh no! No more Mary Ann!
Sadly Dawn Wells, passed today from complications due to COVID-19. She was always my favorite actress on Gilligan's Island and was genuinely a good person in real life.

Perhaps reenacting the slow speed chase on the way?

William Anders - Earthrise
Since my avatar is Earthrise I felt the need to pay homage to William Anders, the Apollo astronaut that took the iconic photos.

Re: Donald Sutherland, 88
You might be thinking of the original movie, released in 1969, that he wasn't in. He was in the 2003 remake of the same name.

Re: Charlie Kirk, Conservative Activist 31
If you don't think Charlie Kirk was loathsome, then you haven't been paying attention or listened to the hate he spews on a regular basis. He's the definition of loathsome.

Re: Moderator Request
Sorry, but I respectively disagree. If people post about vile people you can't expect people to be silent about them celebrating their lives. Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to be assassinated but he doesn't deserve to be lauded either.

Re: Moderator Request
Percy, the problem with this is that normal people may disagree about who is great but in the current time it appears that Hitler himself would be lauded in this thread and you expect no negative responses. Kirk was not great and doesn't deserve to receive respect in this forum.
