I don't think anyone knew he was fighting cancer, he probably wanted it that way. He will be missed.

RIP Roy. I'll never forget your Save Disney campaign, and all the wonderful things you did to try be Walt for those of us who weren't around before 1966.

The one upside is that now there never can be a sequel to Duel in the Sun. I hate that film! Whew! Just kidding.

Well, now Cliff Robertson (86) is the sixth oldest living Academy Award winning actor*.

Trailing Luise Rainer (99), Olivia de Havilland (93), Joan Fontaine (92), Celeste Holm (92), and Ernest Borgnine (92).

*Per a handy list I keep on hand for filling out my annual Low-Scoring Celebrity Death Pool Ballot. Also, less than a month until Luise Rainer becomes the second centenarian Oscar-winning actor (after George Burns).

Wow, Joan Fontaine is still alive. She's last cast member of The Women alive that Cherny, Snowflake, JW and I can hound for autographs. (I think Virginia Weilder, who played the kid in the movie died pretty young.)

Re: The Ten Commandments, which version? ;-)

For Anne Baxter, alone, one of my favorite films (Yul Brenner, too)

Duel in the Sun us such enormous fun, but Jones was never more charming than in Cluny Brown with Charles Boyer

Michael Jackson is still dead

I think

Re Olivia and Joan: that's a wonderful human interest story that two sisters can live so long and stay so estranged.

I'm trying to decide if I really want to contemplate whether their secret to longevity is the same as Ernest Borgnine's.
