RIP in 2009
 

It seems to early to start this kind of thread, but since I'm on someone's list, I seem to have my fingers on the pulse of who bites the dust.

Oh. So this is for people that have already died rather than a wish list for the coming year?

Also already gone this year (from TV and screen):

Edmund Purdom - MGM epics back in the '50s, replaced Marlon Brando in The Egyptian.

Pat Hingle - Character actor, played Commissioner Gordon in the Keaton/ Kilmer Batman movies. Also, back in the '60s he survived a 50+ foot fall down an elevator shaft.

Don Galloway - Sergeant Brown on Ironside.

Steven Gilborn - TV character actor, Ellen Generes's dad on her sitcom.

Alex is correct (as usual)

Don Galloway, I remember him! Now I can put a name to the face. He was very handsome. (I love the scruffy look he has in that picture with James Farentino!)

Don Callender, founder of Marie Callender's.

Hope he gave his mom a cut.

Pat Hingle! I never knew his name. I know that face.

Damn good pies!
