What have I missed?

 Forget that.  RIP Jennifer Runyon, a true lovely of the 80’s.

I probably should have posted a link to the song or something in case some of the younger sorts on here (not you) thought I was being indifferent to Country Joe's death, I know there aren't many youngsters who wouldn't have got my achingly on point tribute but there's always one isn't there.

 

So just in case

What a way to find out he's dead AND he had a singing 'career.'

Tom Georgeson aged 88. Possibly best known for Boys From The Blackstuff which is one of my favourite 1980s shows, but was also really good in early 90s shows Between The Lines and G.B.H., as well as popping up for brief appearances in countless other shows.

Classic case of one of those actors you recognise immediately for some great stuff,  but don't know the name.

Chuck Norris died yesterday at 86.

One of those deaths you thought you’d never see. I do isn’t watch many of his films growing up, but did enjoy Walker Texas Ranger. I know he became a meme in recent years but leaves a massive legacy.

Right-wing thick-as-pigshit Christian fundamentalist who campaigned to have the Constitution based on the Bible, espoused the Obama "birther" conspiracy, opposed gay marriage, and pretty much supported every turd in the Republican party. 

He did some fun films and a TV series. That's about it.

Was coming here to post a 'I don't know much about his personal life or beliefs, but...', basically assuming what @Carbomb said above would be the case. Can't say I'm surprised.

As far as his film work is concerned, he was in a few things I really liked, including Breaker! Breaker!, Silent Rage and, especially, Lone Wolf McQuade. Never really got into Walker, Texas Ranger, but I imagine it's the sort of thing I'd be into now if I could be bothered to watch it.
