Wow. So slot him in with Narada Michael Walden and Quincy Jones as legit jazz dudes who turned out to be super adept at '80s pop.

my posts are primarily aimed at the olds, and lovers of Romanian cinema
it's always jarring to me when someone else posts about the death of, e.g., the gaffer on spartacus, before you

Campanella seems less for the Romanian cinema set and more for the "Mannix" set.
Just as an aside, three of Joseph Campenella sons have/had bands in the LA scene for years. Rob C. has been in the Brian Jonestown Massacre for over a decade and also plays in the Quarter After with his brother Dominick. Andy C had a band called Captain Planet (I think that was their name?) and has played drums in a couple others. Anyway, Joseph Campenella would occasionally be at one of the big parties at Rob's house - he loved listening to the music and he was amazing to talk to - total gentleman. In addition to The Invaders, Mannix, Ironside, One Day At A Time, and Dallas, he also has a credit for whistling on a BJM record.

All the feels “Alan and I have been best friends for 55 years — ever since the day we became astronauts,” said Walt Cunningham, who flew on Apollo 7. “When I became head of the Skylab Branch of the Astronaut Office, we worked together and Alan eventually commanded the second Skylab mission.”“We have never lived more than a couple of miles apart, even after we left NASA. And for years, Alan and I never missed a month where we did not have a cheeseburger together at Miller’s Café in Houston. We are accustomed to losing friends in our business but this is a tough one,” said Cunningham.

Broadway-TV-film actress Allyn Ann McLerie, who I remember from a handful of Sydney Pollack films, All the President's Men and "The Tony Randall Show." She'd been around long enough to have played Ray Bolger's girlfriend in Charley's Aunt. Didn't know she'd been married to Adolph Green and George Gaynes.
