She will be missed. I'm looking forward to her movie.
Sad that Betty isn't even gone for two weeks and already other stars have passed.
Bob Saget, star of ‘Full House,’ has died today at 65. WOW! That's still young.

We lost a few this week, Sidney Poitier, Peter Bogdonavich, and now Dwayne Hickman (who played Dobie Gillis).
Of course, most were in their 80's and 90's.

What really gets me is that, on the MSN page about Bob Saget, people were posting about whether he got vaccinated or not. WTF? The cause of death has not been released yet, and people are assuming it's COVID related? Why? Does no one die of anything else anymore?
Peter Bogdonavich and Dwayne Hickman both died of Parkinson's Disease. Yet no one is commenting on that.

Ugh, this starts again. Why can't people just wait until we know more? We will see what the reason is.

From what I've read so far about Bob Saget, it sounds like a heart attack.

This may not be big news, but Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees just died: Mark Lanegan died
His band only had one hit with Nearly Lost You but they had a lot of other great songs, just one hit. I remember seeing that video on MTV back in the day and digging it, he had a successful solo career too. I’ve read his autobiography and Mark had a rough life, he grew up in a rural redneck town in Washington with alcoholic parents. His dad would regularly pass out at the bar and the bar patrons would dump him on the front lawn and his mom would get arrested for fighting while drunk and was physically abusive. Before he was in a band Mark was a repo man and drug dealer, he was still a drug dealer after becoming more successful. He also developed a crippling heroin addiction that he detailed in his book, if you’re not squicked out by that. I guess he had a lot of health issues because of his previous addiction, it might have caught up to him

Never heard of this fellow. The Screaming Trees only had that one hit and his solo career was more of a cult success than a mainstream success, outside of alternative music circles Lanegan wasn’t very famous. He did find some success publishing his autobiography and his poetry, but outside of alternative rock fans and fans of 90s rock, the Screaming Trees weren’t very popular

Sad to hear. I know she had been battling with stage 4 cancer and got the news back in 2017. It makes me always concerned for Shannen Doherty, who is currently suffering the same thing that has taken Olivia.

It is sad indeed. I love Grease. One of my favorite films.
Olivia will always be Sandy to me. Of course, I remember her singing career also with such songs as Physical and Xanadu.
She even represented the UK at Eurovision in 1974 with the song Long Live Love as well.

R.I.P. to Olivia Newton-John.
She spent her childhood in Melbourne and Australia. But had a retreat house in Byron Bay here in Sydney. I believed she sold that property in 2019 and likely spent her last years in LA where she passed.
I had the pleasure of seeing Olivia Newton-John perform the Australian national anthem before an AFL Football Grand Final in 2014. I have fond memories of it.
