James Otto Sweet Heart 28 Report post Posted November 22, 2021 Another recent departure is actor Art LaFleur who is known for being the tooth fairy character during the second and third film of the trilogy named The Santa Clause. He was 78 years old and Parkinson's Disease is what gets the evil eye. God bless you and his family always!!! Holly P.S. To me, he had the funniest line of the second film when Cupid said to him, "No kid is going to put a tooth under a pillow for a man named Roy!" He then said in return, "This from someone in a diaper who shoots arrows into peoples' butts!" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Otto Sweet Heart 28 Report post Posted December 1, 2021 The newest person to go forward is the man named Marcus Lamb of the Daystar network. The only reason why I even know of this guy is because one of my friends from work asked me if it was true after she heard about him from someone else. She is as religious as a person can come, but she doesn't do the internet like the rest of us. Anyway, Marcus was 64 and the Covid sickness is what was on his plate. (shaking my head)God bless you and his family and my friend always!!!Holly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted December 1, 2021 He's not a celeb; he was a grifting prosperity gospel shill, COVID & vaccine denier, and it's extremely difficult for me to feel bad someone like that died. I feel much worse for anyone who sickens and/or dies based on his very wrong teachings. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baby Doll 77 Report post Posted December 3, 2021 I was surprised he was so young. I guess I felt like he was older than he was when he was on Laverne and Shirley. Sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted December 13, 2021 Ann Rice died of a stroke. Interview With a Vampire swept through my high school like a new Taylor Swift album today. Everyone was reading it. she was quite the thing 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted December 13, 2021 In my high school, the "Beauty" books by her alternate pen name Roquelaure were the very popular books passed around surreptitiously - they were "naughty". And SO MUCH BETTER WRITTEN than anything EL James put out.....I never really got into the Vampire books but loved the Mayfair Witches. I remember doing a walking tour of the Garden District during my first trip to New Orleans with my mom and walking by her house - back then she actually lived there. I think she retained ownership for a long time (maybe even now?) but didn't live there after the late 90s, or maybe after Katrina? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Otto Sweet Heart 28 Report post Posted January 10, 2022 Another legend has just gone forward: Full House TV show actor Bob Saget. Right now, it isn't known what happened. He was 65. My favorite thing about his Full House character was his being the neat freak that he was. God bless you and his family always!!!

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted January 21, 2022 Meatloaf, age 74. Damn. I've been listening to his music a long damn time. As I told my husband this morning upon hearing this - we're at that age where the people we grew up watching/hearing/reading are dying. Guess every generation goes through this but damn it sucks. I would do anything for love, but I won't do that......[guess I know my work soundtrack today.....] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyche 32 Report post Posted January 22, 2022 He changed his name from Marvin to Michael, I believe. Meat Loaf was a nickname given to him by his high school coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
