Only Two
Egads! (Now why is it that sometimes we say Egad! and sometimes Egads! ???). Yesterday it was two distinguished mathematicians. Today we’ve two fine and accomplished actors who have left the stage for the last time. Could this be some ODD version of Noah at work?
(Slight aside: Bill Cosby’s Noah routines from Is A Very Funny Fellow
still bring tears to our ODD eyes.) (Slight aside, slight reprise. We’ve been tossing in a few iTunes links here and there - let us know how they are working will you? Gracias.)
Howard Morris was an accomplished actor and director. He jumped up to national attention on Sid Cesar’s ‘Your Show of Shows’. This was live TV at its best and the DVDs are well worth the purchase. Sit down with your kids (or your parents or just grab your friendly Uniformed Officer of the United States Government (but no peeking at the mail)) and watch these classics.
By the way take note that Howard Morris’ mother died in the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. This pandemic is said to have killed more people worldwide than all those who died in WWI.
Stephen Elliott also has a long list of film and TV credits. Remember St. Elsewhere
What will the morrow bring? Stay tuned, buy yourself a hoodie and a hat, then keep a watch out for heavy rains.
