IIRC, Professor Tim White built about 8% of his Anthro 1 course at Cal around taking down Richard Leakey's findings and his personal and professional credentials to even have findings.

Way too many icons dying lately.

What's up with that?

Anwyays, I read that a down on his look Orson Welles lived with Peter Bogdanovich in the 70s.

And a down on his luck Peter Bogdanovich lived with Quentin Tarantino in the 90s.

So which young hot shot director will a down on his luck Tarantino live with in the 20s?

Could there have been a comic whose TV persona was more different than his stand up and real life persona? The dude was hysterical.

I have this vague memory of being a little kid at Canter's Deli and Bob Saget, who was then a butcher, serving my mom.

I rewatched Dirty Work, directed by Bob Saget, when Norm Macdonald died.

Wow, this one kinda hits home because he was only a little older than me and, in the '90s, I had more than one person say that he and I looked alike (I guess a little bit).

I remember well seeing/hearing his raunchy side in the movie "The Aristocrats". It was surprising, if you had never seen him do stand-up before.

Damn it. Seems like this was out of nowhere. Thank you for the laughs. I appreciated you. RIP Mr. Saget.

2 random thoughts:

--Saget was 31 when Full House premiered. That's like, say, somebody born in 1991 playing the father of 4 kids.

--Norman Lear was 33 when Bob Saget was born.

Convicted New York Real Estate Tycoon Dies of COVID-19 Months After Life Sentence for murder

At first, I thought this headline was a news flash sent to me from 2023. Ding dong, the witch is dead!

Alas, it was for Robert Durst, whoever he is/was.

(You mean there are two of them??)

Durst died today. If you haven't watched this documentary (please don't share spoilers here) it's very, very good. It's on HBO Max.
