Would watch a Time Tunnel revive where the original cast takes a time tunnel back to 1966.
Also I need an original cast Police Woman revive.

No worries. I love this stuff.

Went down a Burt Bacharach rabbit hole each of the past two years where I came across this, maybe I posted on another thread:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBLMbJnN69c

Weird thing is that Burt met Angie through his parents, but maybe you knew that.
I didn't!
One great thing about Police Woman is whenever on the show Angie goes into a cocktail lounge there's a musician in the background playing a Bacharach tune

Prompted by a Bill James piece this morning, Luis Aparicio. 86, not all that old, but for me he does belong to a world before the world before this one (broke in the year Jackie Robinson retired).

I know he was just in "Knives Out," but I rewatched "Blood Simple" last night and even back in 1984 M. Emmet Walsh did not seem long for this world. Currently 85.

Prolific TV actor since the 1950s Peter Mark Richman (formerly Mark Richman), 93. He's such a journeyman it's hard to say what his most famous role is, perhaps as Blake Carrington's lawyer on Dynasty.― Josefa, Wednesday, January 6, 2021 8:01 AM (one week ago)

I went looking for one of his performances on Crackerjack, a take off of Pagliaci doing "Funny Funny" by The Sweet, as part of the final musical play that week. Looks like it was wiped, which is a shame, full makeup and deadpan, absolutely killed me at the time.

i remember reading a puff piece interview with michael aspel about 15 years ago where he mentioned in passing that although he does get joy out of his life and likes when his children/grandchildren visit, "the darkness" often comes in.

I read that book a good 35 years ago and I am still haunted by the horrifying imagery of the dairy farm story and the space Barbie story.

the latter book there is available on ebay for more dollars than Anthony's age, presumably because most copies were seized by international authorities, or self-combusted from shame

Having just watched "The Battle of Algiers" it's interesting how many of the people portrayed in the film are still alive:
Saadi Yacef (who co-produced the film and appears in it playing a character based on himself), 92.Zohra Drif (the Milk Cafe bomber), 86.Djamila Bouhired (another female bomber), 85.

Not too famous, but still alive: Anne Vernon, who played the mother in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. 97 years old.

Elsa Klensch, 87. I'm forcing myself--stupefied--to make it through Altman's Ready to Wear for the first time since it came out, and she has a cameo. I'd forgotten all about her; she was on CNN for years.
