George Burns was a true legend. Johnny Carson once asked him how many cigars he smoked every day and Burns said between twelve and sixteen. Carson then asked what his doctors said about that to which Burns replied "my doctors are all dead."
I'm surprised Howard Rollins wasn't on this list , even though he died in late December of '96 . He played Virgil Tibbs on In the Heat of the Night TV series from 1988 - 1993 . He was also in the film A Soldier's Story with Denzel Washington .
Extremely surprised you left off the incomparable Jon Pertwee. Not only is he amongst the finest actors to play the lead role on Doctor Who, but his list of TV, radio, and stage appearances is extensive. He also managed to avoid the sinking of HMS Hood during WWII by being given a furlough 3 days before she went down. He was beloved by many, and missed by just as many.
Joe Antennorra PBA commissioner (1960-1991) and Pete Rozelle NFL commissioner (1959-1989) also left us in 1996. Antennorra never got proper mention for a decision he made in 1961 granting ABC the right to cover pro bowling. Pro bowling wouldn't have survived without TV!
George Burns celebrated his 💯 birthday in 1979 17 rears before his 💯 birthday because he said he would be performing at The pallidium on his 💯 birthday love Anthony Fed ex lol
@@bruce8808I agree. I couldn't remember the character's name that Greg Morris played. Thank you for the information. I knew that his son Phil was in the new "Mission Impossible." I didn't watch that, but I would like to sometime. Greg Morris was very handsome and he was a fantastic actor.
I lived in Henderson, Nevada at the time of Tupac's death, and learning why he ended up dead all these years later is pretty stupid, over a stupid fight.
@@stevenpagnani7005 The original killer, Orlando Anderson, was killed in a drive-by shooting unrelated to this case. Duane Keith Davis is the only person still alive in the car, was arrested after they say he violated an agreement in talking about it in his autobiography.. It was over a stupid fight, that's what I'm disdained by.
It's such a shame Ray Combs committed suicide. He was the first host of Family Feud I saw, and he was so funny. I like him the best of all the hosts, though Dawson, Harvey, and Karn were and are also great.
I was pretty upset to see that. Even if you didn't watch Doctor Who you knew his name, and his list of other works is extensive, as well as all of the convention appearances he made. Heck they left out Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney in 2011 as well, two more people who defined a certain era of Doctor Who, and whose names are also well-known outside of the fandom.
They were cleared long ago when non-family and non-family friend (and non-known associations like the Ramsey's maid and her husband) DNA was found under her fingernails and on her underwear.
He passed November 22, 1996..He starred in Here Come the Brides and as Mr Spock's dad Sarek in the original Star Trek and the ST movies. Had a long distinguished career.
