SInger Noel Harrison -- son of Rex Harrison -- has died at 79:

 

Oh I used to love him, was shocked to hear he had passed on, thought he was much younger.  He used to sing songs, singers nowadays could learn from him.  Just sang, like a troubadour, enunciated the words, sang beautifully.   And he was still performing too, I think it said he had a heart attack.

Oh I know and you're right of course, I even worried about posting it until I saw it on the news, but it's from Greg in Hollywood and he said himself it was a very reliable source.  When Lucy did a surprise stint on Jackie Gleason's variety show for his birthday, wasn't Jane part of the new cast of The Honeymooners?  Along with Sheila?

I've never seen the "Fast" series, but I enjoyed his "Skip" in Pleasantville.

 

I didn't watch the "Fast" series either but I know I've seen him in other movies.  RIP.  :(

She "appeared" in Ziegfeld Follies as Kenan Wynn's telephone operator nemesis, and also appeared alongside Viv in The Blue Veil.

Whenever I went to visit my friend, Evelyn Moriarty (standin to Marilyn Monroe, Barbara Eden and Ann-Margret) at the Motion Picture Home, we used to see Audrey Totter a lot. She was still beautiful and very, very nice. Quite a standout dame in her films!

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Alicia Rhett, an actress who played one of the sisters of Ashley Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind," died Friday. She was 98.
