bell hooks either a day or several hours before her death was announced.Happen to be reading her quite a bit and have several other titles ordered so wanted to know if I'd missed any of the good ones and then found out that she was still apparently alive when i thought she was already gone for a while. Next thing I heard she's gone. I think Chris Haskett was the first place I heard it from.

glynis johns, who played the mother in mary poppins, is 94She's also one of the handful of still-alive villains from the Batman TV series. Iirc, the others are John Astin, Joan Collins, Barbara Rush, and Julie Newmar (and Lee Meriwether, if you count the movie).

It seems Pauline was 20 when she became John's Stepmum. about 5 years younger than John, I believe.

Recently I've been watching old clips of What's My Line? (1950s-60s). Everything about the show (the mannerisms, overwhelming whiteness, etc.) seems somehow prehistoric, so it's interesting to look up the panelists and guests to see which are still alive (ie, Chubby Checker, Joan Collins).

Actually John Cale was on I've Got a Secret I just remembered. The one with Betsy Palmer and Bess Myerson as panelists.

I did, that's where I saw the Cale appearance... it was just that when What's My Line? was mentioned I mixed up the two shows in my mind. Tbf they are very similar.

Her death, or why she was on the show to begin with?

Is it because she didn't seem to have any footprint outside of this kind of show?

She was a syndicated entertainment columnist who later moved into some crime reporting and was an early skeptic of the Warren Report (supposedly why she died).
