Well, here goes my Sherman Hemsley story.

A law office I used to work for represented him. During that representation, we moved from the ground floor to - yep - the Penthouse. And the first time Sherman came up to our Penthouse office, the minute he walked in the door - 3 people on the staff spontaneously burst into the "Movin' On Up" song and, within seconds, everyone else in the office joined in. Sherman laughed his head off. One of my favorite memories. RIP Mr. Hemsley.

Chad Everett was one of the great handsome actors of the '70s. Too bad.

And I always got a kick out of Sherman Hemsley. As a kid, I even found him a little scary when he was on All in the Family. Must have been something about my Queens upbringing in the late '60s and '70s.

Film critic Judith Crist.

True story: As a Jewish kid in New York in the '60s, I had heard of Judith Crist before I heard of Jesus Christ, so when I heard about the latter, I though there must be some mistake.

Nope, not anyone famous. Also not anyone known to any of my LoT friends. But, I'm sad, lost a good friend today. He was a sweet, sweet man. Loved magic (he was a very good magician) and loved Buster Keaton, silent films and liked me even though I was a Valentino fan.

Tim had a severe stroke last year and overcame so much disability and recovered so well he was mobile, able to do a little magic and got to make it down to San Francisco to realize his dream of seeing the restoration of Napoleon in March. He was thrilled, he looked good, we got to hug a lot and he gave Kevin Brownlow a bottle of really good scotch for Napoleon. He was about to get his driver's license back and move back into his apartment and get his beloved kitties back. He'd been to the doctor last week and all his tests were good regarding the likihood of another stroke. He went to sleep sometime today and did not wake up. It's a good way to go, but damnation, I'm sorry I won't see him or talk to him again. Feh.
