RIP Brett Somers

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I'm am quite saddened to report that Brett Somers, beloved Match Game panelist and actress, has passed away at the age of 83 (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/17/obit.somers.ap/index.html).

We lost Gene Rayburn in 99, the inimitable Charles Nelson Reilly in May, and now Brett. The holy trinity of Match Game celebs are all gone now.

This is a depressing day. :(


Yes, I know Dawson used to be a regular, but that sourpuss left mid-run.

In the spirit of that wonderful show... "Brett Somers is soooo dead, she can't even <blank> anymore."

RIP, Ms Somers.

I did love Match Game, Brett Sommers was hysterical, as was Charles Nelson Riley and if Fannie Flagg goes next, I will truly be very sad!

RIP Brett you were ______!

I saw a bit of the show on a funniest tv moments type show. I couldn't believe the wide lapels, hair styles, orange and brown set colors typical of the 70's, and that loooong skinny microphone the Gene had! What a blast from the past!!

I loved her on Match Game! Ahh, Charles Nelson Riley he was a gas and then there was the guy, who drank a lot, from Stalag 13...Richard someone I think.

I've actually caught some reruns on the game show channel and still find them hilarious!

I...and then there was the guy, who drank a lot, from Stalag 13...Richard someone I think.That would be Richard Dawson. He was on Hogan's Heroes before Match Game and then went on to be the original host of Family Feud.

Thanks Kevy for understanding what I was trying to say. That was a good pull from my slightly off clues Damn pain pills fuzz up the brain!
