...and in checking out Ms. CLEARY's wiki, how did I not know that Sarah Polley played Ramona in the TV version I used to see as a kid?

Come to think of it, this phenomenon would make good subject matter for a Tom Lehrer song.

Hugh Hefner (b. 1926). I couldn't have told you *when* he might have died, as you'd expect it to have been a memorably big deal... but it just seemed reasonable that he would have.

Alan Young, who died this week at age 96.
Only thing more surprising would be to have found out the horse was still alive too.

When I was in Lisbon, I saw some ad for a João Gilberto concert, which surprised me, because I though he had died years ago... But I guess I was thinking of Tom Jobim.

I had him on a deadpool a few years ago, but I just checked and Jerry Maren is still alive. He was the middle munchkin of the lollipop guild in the wizard of oz. Aalso starred as an ape in planet of the apes and was rotoscoped into a hobbit for the bakshi lord of the rings.

Francesca de la tour. There was a history of Rising Damp on a few days back. I thought I'd heard she'd died years back but when it wasn't mentioned I looked her up and seems she's still with us.

Yeah, she still appears in movies every so oft.

I saw her younger brother Andy do comedy in the '80s, supporting Rik Mayall. He was a better comic actor than stand-up, I think.
