Angela Lansbury has died just 5 days before her 97th birthday. She passed away in her sleep at her LA home. Born in London in 1925, when she wasn't in LA, she spent a good bit of time at her home in Co. Cork here in Ireland. I'm sure we all remember her as Jessica Fletcher in 'Murder She Wrote'. Here she is entering the former Duke Farm at Valencia Oaks in the 1988 episode 'Coal Miner's Slaughter', an episode which also featured Denver Pyle and Celebrity Speed Trap victim Hoyt Axton. The rest of my pictures are in the Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch thread. For another Dukes tie-in, from 1976 to 1981, Cathy Bach was married to Angela's stepson David Shaw.

By 'modern dating techniques', I first thought that you meant ways to meet women. The Vikings certainly did that in their own well-documented manner! It seems to get bigger each year, but it mainly means that the shops are full of plastic rubbish for a couple of months before the Christmas stuff comes out. Don't forget that Jack-o-lanterns or carved vegetables for Halloween originated in Ireland.

That's awful! I sure hope the family is holding up ok.

BUBBA (I still have the Loretta Lynn episode on my mind)

That reminds me of Rosco's Mama's reaction when she said something like "You got a girl out of a computer?!"

Had he been sick or was it unexpected?

Beverly lost her husband and Lisa's dad last night Fri 10/7/22.

Unexpected. He went to Cleveland Clinic for a surgery and he didn't make it.

Since 2003 when I moved here.

Gary was 75.
