John Forsythe passed away

14 years ago

he was 92 years old. I never every watched Dynasty, but wasn't he on some old tv show.. a long time ago?

He was the voice of Charlie, in Charlies Angels.

He sure lived a long full life it sounds like.

He was in Bachelor Father. I remember him the most from Charlie's Angels.

He was in my all-time favorite movie: Madame X (with Lana Turner).

On July 19, 2004, my Brother passed away

Starduster, I'm sorry for your loss. You had a very special relationship with your brother and I can imagine that your pain is doubly felt. The first days and weeks are certainly the worst, but it does get better. I think you need to open up a little to your family and friends. I know it's tough, you just want to hide from the pain, but soon you will see others moving on with normal life and you will still be feeling the grief. Get as much of it out as you can now. Talk, reminisce, laugh and cry with others who can share you loss now, because it will be more difficult and awkward to do it later. One of the things I did after Dad died was start a list of all the positive things that happened in the days after he passed. I made note of every little thing I could think of, every random act of kindness, condolensces from strangers, every reunion with family and friends that I hadn't seen in years, even things like the competance and compassion of the funeral director and the preacher at the funeral. I did this because I wanted something positive to grasp onto, to prevent being overwhelmed by the darkness of those days. As I was recording these events and moments, I was amazed at just how much that was good could be found in what was the worst experience of my life. I know that it helped me. Maybe give it a try, before those memories fade or are swallowed up in your grief.

My dad's brother passed away

Hi kath, I'm sorry that your Dad has this heartache to deal with, but without his brother recognizing him, it's been a problem for a time and this will put an end to that ongoing heartache. I hope that you can call and talk frequently for the next while - does he have skype or an equivalent? It would likely be helpful if he could see your face, especially moving. Sorry as well that your family has had these disruptions: it's best to get such issues resolved: life is too short for us to let ourselves become prisoners of such issues to the point that it causes a rupture in our relations with out family - our supposed-to-be loved ones. (((((kathsgrdn and bereft family))))) ole joyful

John Hughes passed away

Casey, thank you very much for posting that link. What a neat thing he did for a young girl. I remember when my 16th birthday came, I wished so bad that it would turn out awesome just like "Samantha Baker's from "Sixteen Candles". And any girl my age who grew up with not a lot of money dreamed of being like Andy in Pretty in Pink, and finding a sweet guy like Blaine. He made so many movies that were a big part of my teenage years.

More importantly, Beau Biden passes away

I don't agree with Joe Biden on many things, but I have always felt that he was a good man. And I have always been impressed by the fact that he raised those two boys, despite the long hours his job demanded (and the long commute times). I can't begin to imagine the pain he is feeling right now. My heart goes out to him and his family...and especially to Beau's children.

I just read the obituary on the news wires. It didn't even mention Charlie's Angels!!! How odd is that?? What is this "The Bachelor Father". What was the premise? Was he a widower, divorced, what? What years did it run? I have never heard of it. I keep seeing "The Courtship of Eddy's father" in my head. I loved that one!

I've never heard of The Bachelor Father. I remember him well in Charlie's Angels, and don't forget Fantasy Island!

What a classy gentlemen. Wow, he lived a long time, that's great.

Ooops, it was obviously too early for me when I made my previous comment. Of course he wasn't in Fantasy Island!

A shame that he died, I always liked him. He lived a good life, though.

I consider myself lucky to have seen his work on the big screen, on TV and on stage. Dignified gentleman and fine actor. RIP

Fantasy Island? Was that the show started "De plane! De plane!" with the little man? I believe the leading man of that show was Ricardo Montabon (another fine actor and gentleman) not John Forsythe

Yep Liljunkr. I apologized for my mistake.
I think Ricardo died in the past couple years as well.

jasdip,
No need for apology I was confused (easily done these days) about the show I thought I had missed something John Forsythe did.

You are right Ricardo has passed the veil.
Ricardo Montalban 11/25/1920 - 1/14/2009 at age 88

I-Spy star Robert Culp moving on last week.

It's funny but I went to Clearwater FL a month ago for Phillies spring training. While there I watched Retro TV, a station we don't get here in Philly. It only has old TV shows. I watched Daniel Boone a few times; came home and Fess Parker died. Saw Bachelor Father; now John Forsythe is dead. I watched The Incredible Hulk but Bill Bixby has been dead for a few years now. I also saw the Rockford Files........
