Mine Field Celebrity Deathday Thread

RIP Katherine MacGregor, who portrayed the gossipy Harriet Oleson on the long-running NBC drama Little House on the Prairie, has died. She was 93.

I copied and pasted the above sentence.
 
I flip thru the channels when work is slow, and Little House is on around dinnertime, and sometimes I watch it.

RIP to a nice actress who played a sour character to great comic effect.
 
Pablo Ferro, designer and creator of iconic film titles, 83.

Many know his lettering style from the Men in Black movies, which I first saw him use in the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense, although he first used it in Dr. Strangelove in the 60s.

Ray Sawyer (the one in the eye patch) died today.
 
I had no idea he was Albert Brooks' brother. :(

He was also great on Arrested Development. And as Super Dave Osborne for decades. RIP.

Born in Seattle in 1921, Channing's parents were Christian Scientists. She recalls that she got her first glimpse of backstage delivering copies of The Christian Science Monitor to theaters.

"It came over me that I was looking at the stage and backstage of a cathedral, a temple, a mosque, a mother church," Channing wrote in her memoir Just Lucky, I Guess. "I know I'm using adult words to describe a child's feelings, but I don't know how else to tell you this simple reaction of a child to a holy place."
