All In With The Nuts
97 years old, was great in Streetcar Named Desire, made his money from Streets of San Francisco and the American Express Travelers Checks commercials. Last thing I saw him in was as a priest on an episode of West Wing years ago.

RIP.
 
Maybe they've been dying off for a while and it's just MJ's death spectacular that brought it to our attention.

They overstepped their bounds, but they're in it too deep now to quit.
 
Throw a couple more bodies on the pile:

1 July 2009 3:01 PM, PDT

Beloved British TV actress Mollie Sugden has died, aged 86.

The TV star passed away in hospital in Surrey, England on Wednesday after a long running illness, according to her agent. Her twin sons Robin and Simon were by her bedside.

Sugden shot to fame in Brit sitcom Are You Being Served? in 1972 and appeared in a string of other television shows, including The Liver Birds and long-running soap opera Coronation Street.

David Croft, one of the Are You Being Served? writers, remembers the actress as a "marvellous character" who loved to make people laugh. "She would never refuse any sort of comedy situation, no matter how undignified it was she would always go along with it. She was marvellously funny."

Sugden is survived by her two sons and several grandchildren.

In all of this muck and yuck many people missed Walter Kronkite's passing.
 
That's because Cronkite isn't dead yet -- his family announced that he is ailing and probably terminal, but not at "death's door" as was reported last week.

Don't worry, it'll be soon.
