Uhh... define "famous"

[BigRedChief]

Uhh... define "famous"Famous in the 70's is different than in 2021. With only 3 channels of entertainment, if you were a "star" on a hit show, you were a big deal nationwide.

You're a star on a current broadcast hit TV show, I probably have no clue who you are.

[Baby Lee]

Yeah. That household name BJ Thomas. Really famous.

Guess it depends on your background. I wouldn't say BJ Thomas is the most famous person in the world, but growing up my mom listened to 61 Country all the livelong day. So as a kid I knew BJ Thomas, Eddie Rabbit, Mandrell Sisters, Bellamy Brothers, Crystal Gale, etc., more than most people knew The Eagles or Led Zeppelin.

I would imagine the other demographics have similar experiences for folks like Quincy Jones, Valerie Simpson, James Ingram, etc.

Robert Hogan, known for 'The Wire' and 'Peyton Place,' dead at 87

.........The list is long — starting in the early 1960s on such dramas as "Cheyenne," "Hawaiian Eye," "77 Sunset Strip," "The Fugitive" and the final-season "Twilight Zone" episode "Spur of the Moment." He also appeared in comedies of the era including "Hazel" and "The Donna Reed Show."

He would continue to amass credits throughout that decade and the next two, with stops at popular comedy and drama series including "Batman," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Bonanza," "I Dream of Jeannie," "Hogan’s Heroes," "Hawaii Five-O," "Gomer Pyle: USMC," "McCloud," "Love American Style," "Mission: Impossible," "The Streets of San Francisco," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "The Incredible Hulk," "Hill Street Blues," "Newhart," "St. Elsewhere," "One Day at a Time," "Magnum P.I." and "Spenser: For Hire."......

Smith also had memorable (to me anyway) roles in Gunsmoke and in the very first episode of The Rockford Files. He was also in a lot of trashy B movies that I have a soft spot for.


IMDb says his first role was in The Ghost of Frankenstein back in 1942. I had no idea he started acting as a kid.

One of the most underrated mini-series in TV history.

I remember watching it as a teenager and it was incredible!

I was 20 at the time....trying to impress the girl I was dating. I wanted nothing to do with watching a mini-series, but she wanted to watch it, so I did. (that paid off for me in so many ways)

I ended up loving it....I actually related to the Nick Nolte character so much because I had an older brother whose life, to some extent, mirrored the Peter Strauss character.

The essence of the story being....who really was the Rich Man and who was the Poor Man.

I actually read the follow up Beggarman, Thief but wasn't as enamored as I was of Rich Man, Poor Man.

Patrick Swayze had, what, Outsiders and Red Dawn under his belt at that time.

North and South and Lonesome Dove led me to read everything John Jakes and Larry McMurtry. . . I mean everything. Back in my 'read everything I could get my hands on' phase. Bradbury, Asimov, L'Engle, Tolkien, Herbert, CS Lewis, and eventually Bachman/King [and of course starting with all the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Encyclopedia Brown, etc].

The wife had never seen North and South, so I picked it up on DVD and rewatched it with her a few years ago. It was a bit cheesier than I remembered, but held up pretty well. It had a great cast and a fantastic score.

For anyone interested in watching North and South, there were three installments. The first one deals with the years leading up to the Civil War, and the second is set during the Civil War. They are both excellent. The third is set after the Civil War, and is as awful as the first two were great; Swayze isn't in it, and the whole production was amateurish and lame. Don't even bother with it.

I was a huge Hardy Boys fan when I was a kid, but I never heard of the Three Investigators series until a few months ago. I was listening to a horror podcast and they played a story called "Footsteps Invisible." I'm a fan of Old Time Radio and I recognized the name of the story's author, Robert A. Arthur as a well-known writer of classic radio programs. Turns out he also edited the Alfred Hitchcock anthology books back in the day and also created the Three Investigators series. Ever since then the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon has kicked in and I'm seeing references to Jupiter Jones and the Three Investigators everywhere I look.


"Footsteps Invisible" can be listened to here:

https://pseudopod.org/2013/12/06/pseudopod-363-footsteps-invisible/


"S.O.S." and "Death is the Judge" from the Mysterious Traveller radio program were both written by Arthur and can be listened to for free at the Internet Archive.

Robert Duvall was awesome in Lonesome Dove. Shogun was fantastic as well. Richard Chamberlain, Tishiro Mifune and John Rhys-Davies in it. What a great cast and story. I've got both mini series on DVD. Been awhile since I've watched either but now I've got a hankering to watch Shogun. Any of you youngsters that haven't seen Shogun, do yourselves a favor. You won't be disappointed. :thumb:

Talking about North and South and the various babes brought up in the Salma Hayek thread reminded me of Terri Garber, who played Patrick Swayze's deliciously evil sister Ashton in North and South. Never saw her in anything else, but goddamn she was smoking hot.

I saw he was a regular on Barney Miller the first two seasons '75-'76, which I did watch. The creator of BM started a new show and picked Sierra to be it's star, which he jumped at. I don't remember the show, it was Hudson Street and lasted only one season in '78.

Then I started reading more on the guys on Barney Miller and saw Ron Glass and me had the same birthday, July 10th but he was five years older but died in 2016.

It was said he was gay and had a long term relationship with the actor who played Luke on the daytime soap, Tony Geary. I didn't watch soaps, but about 1980 this photo was on the cover of every tabloid, People magazine and anything else at the checkout counter, you couldn't miss it.

Tony Geary was said to have two year relationship with Liz Taylor back during the Luke and Laura days, but anyone who knows Liz, for some reason she had a thing for gay men, Rock Hudson and Montgomery Cliff come to mind. As far as Ron Glass, I only found that it was a long term relationship with Tony Geary.

Ron Glass was probably my favorite on Barney Miller. I was thrilled when he showed up on Firefly and was very sad when he passed.

[scho63]

That's too bad. Night Court had one of the best ensemble casts in TV history. Probably my favorite show from the 80s.

RIP

Another fantastic show and some of the best one-liners in any comedy show in history :clap::clap:

Another North and South connection - Genie Francis, the actress who played Laura played Swayze's other sister (the good one). She's married to Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek fame, another North and South cast member.

Then I started reading more on the guys on Barney Miller and saw Ron Glass and me had the same birthday, July 10th but he was five years older but died in 2016.

I used to run into Ron Glass regularly at the now closed Victor's Deli & Restaurant. Ron was always pleasant and quiet and never seemed interested in drawing any attention to himself. I think the last time I saw him was around 2012ish and he was always alone.

On a side note, Victor's Deli was absolutely amazing and by far the best deli I've ever had, including in New York. It was owned by none other than The Teflon Don's brother, Bill Gotti, who was another great guy to be around.

Barney Miller is one of my favorite shows ever. Dietrich was my favorite character. He cracked me up on a regular basis.

Oddly, I wasn't that fond of most of the characters when taken individually, but as a group they were great.

Dietrich had one of my favorite TV lines ever. At the end of of one episode a bunch of them were watching TV when someone (Barney?) showed up. Dietrich said, "Hey, hang around. Taxi starts in five minutes." Taxi was the show directly after Barney Miller. What were they watching? WHAT WERE THEY WATCHING?

Patrick Swayze had, what, Outsiders and Red Dawn under his belt at that time.

North and South and Lonesome Dove led me to read everything John Jakes and Larry McMurtry. . . I mean everything. Back in my 'read everything I could get my hands on' phase. Bradbury, Asimov, L'Engle, Tolkien, Herbert, CS Lewis, and eventually Bachman/King [and of course starting with all the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Encyclopedia Brown, etc].

Big fan of his. Read all his writings. When I went to A & M they had a display of his school work when he went school there in the school library. He flunked out and got horrible grades on his papers. His papers were awesome. Fuck English teachers, at least the ones he and I had. I took an English class got a D in it. Had to retake it, basically turned the same shit in the 2nd go around and got an A.

For some reason I never really got into Night Court. The times I did watch it it was pretty funny. I used to watch something else that was on at the same time. But for the life of me I can't remember what. Thinking it was something that was on PBS. :hmmm:

By the way, I started this thread as kind of a joke when we were coincidentally getting a flurry of D-list celebrity deaths. Usually the kind where you had to say, "He was a backup singer for Neil Diamond and played drums for the Trashmen" to know who the fuck they were.

I never intended this to be a megathread, and I certainly never intended this to be a posting place to announce the deaths of people like Dusty Hill, who is widely recognized and typically not somebody people have never heard of.

It took a minute for the name to click for me. But when I saw he was with the Tigers in the late 60's I realized, oh, he was the catcher.

Willard Scott RIP longtime Today show weatherman. Original Bozo the Clown, and inventor and first Ronald McDonald clown burger joint clown. He was 87 good long life to a good man.

https://www.today.com/news/willard-scott-dead-t152927

Willard Scott
The origin of Ronald McDonald involves Willard Scott (at the time, a local radio personality who also played Bozo the Clown on WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., from 1959 until 1962), who performed using the moniker "Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown" in 1963 on three separate television spots. These were the first three television ads featuring the character.[3]

Scott, who went on to become NBC-TV's Today Show weatherman, claims to have created Ronald McDonald according to the following excerpt from his book Joy of Living:

At the time, Bozo was the hottest children's show on the air. You could probably have sent Pluto the Dog or Dumbo the Elephant over and it would have been equally as successful. But I was there, and I was Bozo ... There was something about the combination of hamburgers and Bozo that was irresistible to kids ... That's why when Bozo went off the air a few years later, the local McDonald's people asked me to come up with a new character to take Bozo's place. So, I sat down and created Ronald McDonald.[3]

At the time, Scott was working for Oscar Goldstein, the Washington, DC, area McDonald's franchisee, and numerous sources describe Scott's role as only playing the part of Ronald McDonald, while giving credit for the creation of the mascot to Goldstein and his ad agency.

Looks like no one will get to wish Willard Scott a happy 100th.

RIP @ 87.

Coincidentally, So's cousin Lee Yung was a longtime rival of Lee Elder. Both of whom, coincidentally, bear an uncanny resemblance to the late great Olympic shot putter Eric Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu.

Here a pic of the three of them sharing a bottle of Crystal Pepsi at the gift shop at the Pontiac Silverdome the night that Hulk Hogan slammed Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III:
