Apparently Jack Donner has also died, you may remember him as Subcommander Tal from TOS and as a Vulcan priest in a few eps of Enterprise. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jack_Donner

It might be worthy to note that Margaret Wander Bonanno (aka "garamet" on TBBS and Wordforge) was his partner for the last decade or so at least, so sending good thoughts her way.

R.I.P. Robert Forster, from Jackie Brown and nearly 200 other roles

Ironically, Big Bird attended the Kennedy Center Honors last night to represent Sesame Street as one of the honorees.

We'll see if they made mention of Spinney when the show airs during Christmas week.

Made watching Muppet Family Christmas last night, extra sad. Especially seeing Jim Henson's comedy bit at the end.
