I'm in shock. I recently started watching, The Steve Harvey Show. It's not on dvd, but there's a 5-episode, "Best Of" dvd available. I got it from Netflix today, and was so excited for my husband to see it. I was reading online, on what episodes are on the dvd, and read a viewer comment expressing surprise that there wasn't a tribute to the actor, Merlin Santana, who was shot and killed in 2002. He was only 26. He played Romeo, one of the students, and he was a riot. I've wondered why I haven't seen him in movies or tv since the show ended in 2002. I now have my answer. :(

This happened before, with Glenn Quinn, who played Mark on Roseanne. :( I feel today, the same way I felt when I made this 2003 post.

It also happened to me about five years ago, when someone told me that an ex-boyfriend had died. I hadn't seen him in 15 years, but we were together for two years before I met my husband. I wasn't so much sad, but more shocked.

Merlin Santana also made a funny guest appearance on Sister, Sister. He played a boy who asked out both twins (at different times) thinking they were the same girl. The look on his face when he discovered his mistake was priceless. :lol: I didn't hear about what had happened to him until a couple of years ago, and I too was very surprised and saddened. Same thing with Glenn Quinn. :(

This probably makes me sound stupid, but I didn't know Bob Marley was dead until a few months ago.

I also still can't believe that John Ritter and Michael Landon are dead :(

I know there are probably a few well-known folks who have died that I didn't find out until waaaay after the fact, but right now I can't think of who they are.

I wasn't shocked to hear about it but anyway...

It's hard for me to believe that almost everybody from Bewitched is gone now. I believe only the people who played Tabitha and Adam are still alive. So many of the adult actors died before they hit 50 or 60. :(

Also... Victor French and Michael Landon. I was surprised to find out later that French's passing was the reason why Michael Landon chose not to continue with Highway to Heaven for a sixth season. Little did we know Landon would pass away just a little over two years later... creepy!

From the age 5 until I was 10 my childhood friend and I were crazy about Elvis! Our parents bought us all his movies, pictures etc. and since my parents have his music on old records we'd pop one on and dance for hours to his voice. Then when I was around 10, I said something like "mommy, when I get older I'm going to marry Elvis!" Yeah, that night she had a little talk with me and told me Elvis had "went to heaven" years before I was even born. I cried for days and didn't want to believe it... I kept saying "but I just saw him on TV!" Both my friend and I were devastated (she had just found out as well).
Looking back now I think "what an idiot" but back then we were two little girls with very broken hearts. :blush: :lol:


I just found out about Glenn Quinn a few months ago as well. For some reason I have a tough time watching Roseanne now... it bothers me a great deal seeing him and knowing that he passed away so young.

I didn't know about Glenn Quinn untill i joined this board i was so sad. :(
Also Jonathan Brandis, he was in the horror movie IT he played William 'Stuttering Bill' Denbrough age 12, i was very shocked to find that he died, it was suicide :eek: I think he was in Full House aswell i'm not 100% sure on that though.

Here is his pic!
Jonathan Brandis

I remember when Merlin died they had a thing about him on ET.

But I remember a few years back I was on the website deadoralive and I was just browsing and I came across Lamont Bentley name, and I was SHOCKED to find out that he had passed away.

Yes, he was in an episode of Full House. He played a boy DJ liked, but he picked Kathy Santoni over her, lol. It is really sad that he commited suicide. :(

That was the site i saw Jonathan Brandis on. :)

I remember being about 8 years old talking about how I wanna meet Lucy (Lucille Ball) one day, and my dad told me she was dead. I was shocked, I didn't know people like that died. In fact I was born only a few weeks before she actually died.

When my mother was in the hospital in 2001, her nurse was someone I had gone to high school with, and she dropped a few bombs on me. She told me that one of our classmates, a very popular girl, had died from breast cancer about five years before.

She also told me that our science teacher died of heart attack just two years after we graduated. He was only in his 40s. He was one of those teachers that everyone loved.

I found out not long ago from a stranger i met at the restaurant, that a old work buddy from a previous job i worked at, died of ovarian cancer, we were really good mate's untill i moved away and we lost touch. I was sooo very upset i still get a lump in my troat when i think of it because i wished i saw her before she died. :(

Merlin Santana also made a funny guest appearance on Sister, Sister. He played a boy who asked out both twins (at different times) thinking they were the same girl. The look on his face when he discovered his mistake was priceless. :lol:
I saw that episode recently. It was a riot. He finally picked one of them for her pretty shoes, which she had borrowed from her sister. :lol:

I see in Merlin Santana's bio that he was a regular as one of Rudy's friends on The Cosby Show, supposedly Kenny's rival.

Yes, he was in an episode of Full House. He played a boy DJ liked, but he picked Kathy Santoni over her, lol. It is really sad that he commited suicide. :(
It's also sad that you and I both remember the name Kathy Santoni. :lol:

I remember in 1986-87, I became a huge fan of the show 'The Fugitive' when it was run on t.v. on one local channel. I couldn't believe it when one friend told me that its star, David Janssen, died of a heart attack at the age of 48 in 1980, just several years before. I later read that Janssen had a drinking problem and lived a sort of fast life. He apparently wasn't like his character, the good doctor, on the show, but he was still a great actor. He died at a relatively young age. :( You'd think that for playing a doctor on the show, he would have lightened up on booze and cigarettes....

Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay) is also still alive. He and Erin Murphy (Tabitha) were present January 4th at the unveiling of Elizabeth Montgomery's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Erin's twin Diane, who doubled for her as Tabitha, is still around, as are David and Greg Lawrence, the twins who played baby Adam.

I was shocked about Merlin Santana's death, too. He was so young.

I didn't know Jack Cassidy had since died until several weeks ago. I also remember a few months ago just finding out that Roxie Roker had passed away in 1995.

speaking of The Jeffersons, I didn't know Franklin Cover had passed on until a few months ago.

I remember years ago watching Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers and thinking "my god, Donald Pleasance looks like death" only to find out that he died right after filming wrapped on that movie, but I didn't know he was dead when I thought that.

I see in Merlin Santana's bio that he was a regular as one of Rudy's friends on The Cosby Show, supposedly Kenny's rival.

I was going to mention that, but it looks like you beat me to the punch. He wasn't on it until the last season so that might explain why you don't remember him, since those last season episodes weren't the best

Bernard Fox is still around? Oh lordy, he must be really old by now, seeing as Bewitched debuted nearly 44 years ago. :lol: And Elizabeth Montgomery has a star now? AWESOME! I'm about a year too late... I was in Los Angeles last year and checked out the Walk of Fame while I was there. I wanna take a pic of her star.

It's also sad that you and I both remember the name Kathy Santoni. :lol:

:rotflmao: I know, I have no life. ;)

I remember that episode too. I felt bad for D.J. it is sad he died in real life but i felt bad that he dumped her for Kathy Santoni.

I was sad to hear that Michelle Thomas i think that's her name who played Urkel's girlfriend Myra on Family Matters died. I really liked her on that show. She was also on The Cosby Show she played Justine. I don't know how many of you remember the movie Now and Then but the girl who played Chrissy isn't alive anymore

I don't know how many of you remember the movie Now and Then but the girl who played Chrissy isn't alive anymore


OH MY LORD!!! I didn't know that. I just bought that movie and watched it Saturday.

yeah i didn't know either until i saw it on her IMDB page here it is http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0600915/. It is a good movie though.

Really?! Chrissy died? Oh damn. I've loved that movie ever since it came out in 1995.

Wow... she just died a month ago. :(

Yeah that's one of my fav movies, but that's such a shocker, because she didn't seem like a kind of person who would ever do drugs.

Here's a link to photos and video of the ceremony, Allison:

http://harpiesbizarre.com/star.htm

Bernard Fox has to be pushing 80 by now, if he hasn't reached it already. He's held up pretty well, I must say.

I know there are probably a few well-known folks who have died that I didn't find out until waaaay after the fact, but right now I can't think of who they are.

I was shocked to learn that the rock bassist Rick Grech had been dead for a couple of years. He died in 1990.

Come on, this isn't a Bewitched thread. At least try to tie it in to the topic. Fake it, somehow.

Oooo, cool! :D

I checked IMDB a bit ago... he already hit 80. Coming up on 81 in May. :D I think he is maybe the 3rd cast member ever to hit 80. :eek:

I remember that episode too. I felt bad for D.J. it is sad he died in real life but i felt bad that he dumped her for Kathy Santoni.
And after he gave her that bracelet! What a man-tease.

The only person I can think of is Merritt Butrick who played Johnny Slash on Square Pegs. I didn't see that show until it came to TVLand. I became a big fan and mentioned it to a friend who told me Merritt had passed away. I was crushed. He was hilarious. :(

A couple years ago, I found out that one of my friends in high school passed away in a car accident about 2 or 3 years earlier. I hadn't seen her since maybe the 10th or 11th grade, but it bothered me for about a week.

The lady who got hit by the volleyball on Meet the Parents I just found out that she died a couple years ago she was only 30 years old. I heard she was sick and the doctors did nothing what a shame.:(

I read not too long ago that Christopher Pettiet (The Young Riders) passed on 2000 of a drug overdose (age 24). I was shocked - I remember him being in the teen magazines, and I also used to watch The Young Riders. What a shame. :(

My only contribution is someone y'all probably don't know.

Long after it happened I learned that Roy Brocksmith, who played Kevin's high school English teacher Mr. Lemkur in Episode #73, "Frank and Denise", (remember him talking about poet John Keats?), passed away in December 2001.

It seems to me that one of the other non-regulars from TWY passed away in 2003. ISTR it being an older male, perhaps the father of one of the non-Kevin characters.

I remember an emotional Charlton Heston in an interview commenting on his role in the sci-fi Soylent Green and his co-star Edward G. Robinson.

From IMDb:
When Thorn discovers that he is too late to stop Sol's
suicide, he begins to cry. Charlton Heston was really crying he was
the only person on set who knew Edward G. Robinson was dying of
cancer. His death scene was the last day he worked in his life;
he died just nine days after shooting wrapped.

A couple of years ago I read that a model named Krissy Taylor the sister of Niki Taylor died in 1995 of a heart promblem she was only 17.

Merrit Butrick's dead? He's the guy who played Capt. Kirks son in Starr Treck 2 and 3. I wonder if that's why he was also killed in the 3rd picture.

When did he die? No wonder I haven't seen him in anything else in a long time.

I still find it hard to believe that Mclean Stevenson and Larry Linville from MASH are dead.

Wow, I didn't know that McLean Stevenson was dead. :eek:

I remember being stunned when I heard that Sunny Johnson, who played Jennifer Beals' best friend in the movie Flashdance, died of a brain aneurysm at age 30 in 1984, just one year after the movie's release

Whoa, he was in the movie "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter is Dead!" :eek:

What did he die from?

yep, he died about 11 or 12 years back
and ironnicaly; it was at about the same time as Roger Bowen, who played Col. Blake in the movie MASH.

and ironnicaly; it was at about the same time as Roger Bowen, who played Col. Blake in the movie MASH.

Actually, they died 1 day apart of them same illness. Mclean died on February 15, 1996 of a heart attack and Roger Bowen died February 16, 1996 of a heart attack. Creepy huh? :eek:

Wow, I didn't know that McLean Stevenson was dead. :eek:
I was always a big McLean Stevenson fan. I even watched his short lived shows like Condo and Hello Larry. He really seemed like such a nice guy. :(

yea; so was I. I remember, back in the 70s he was a frequent guest host on "THE TONIGHT SHOW" and I remember I always made a point of watching the show those times (and the episodes where he was a guest) because he was so funny. Also, his short-lived show "THE McLEAN STEVENSON SHOW".

I actually sent off a letter to her back in 2005. I never did hear from her - now I won't ever get to hear from her. :( So I guess I can cross that off my list...

I just wish I'd written to Suzanne Pleshette before it was too late. :(

Unfortunately, she was not a good through the mail signer. I had been wanting to get her autograph for a while now. I heard she was very good to her fans about signing in person, though.

Then I guess it was a good thing I didn't try. I do have an autographed picture from Bob!!

A few years ago I remembering someone told me that a celebrity (I can't think of who right now) had passed away years ago and I was shocked. I'm not sure if I'm remembering right, but I think it might have been the guy who played Gillian.

Family Ties Forever!, Gillian sounds too feminine to be a guy since it sounds like Jillian, longhand for Jill. Might you have attempted to type "Gilligan"? The actor who played Gilligan, Bob Denver, passed away in September 2005.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to misspell the character's name. That was only a few years ago so I guess it must have been another celebrity.
Jenny, for Heaven's sake, there's no need to apologize for a simple typo. You left out one letter, the G, by mistake. Your message was clear.

Ok, I remembered a musical artist who died and I didn't know abt it until waaay after the fact. Remember that Austrian singer Falco? He had a hit in the 80's (actually a couple of hits) called ROCK ME AMADEUS. He was killed in a car accident. I read abt this almost ten years after it occurred. I was shocked. :eek:

OMG how friggin' spooky is that? I posted this today and you tell me his anniversary is tomorrow? :faint:

I had read abt his death over a year ago. I guess it must have been stuck in my head that it was almost ten years since he died, which is why I stated it was almost ten years ago. Damn! :eek:

I remember being about 8 years old talking about how I wanna meet Lucy (Lucille Ball) one day, and my dad told me she was dead. I was shocked, I didn't know people like that died. In fact I was born only a few weeks before she actually died.

same with me!
i was obsessed with lucy when i was growing up & in 4th grade i did a report on her. i remember reading a part in a book that said she was dead & my mom told me it was true. i couldn't believe it. and then i learned desi arnaz had also passed away and that was also a shock to me.

I remember the day Lucille Ball died. Their were reports that she was in the hospital but from all I heard it seemed like she was getting better and then the announcement just came. I had the radio on at the time. It was a real shock as I had grown up with Lucy. I remember CBS had a special celebrating her life and I didn't miss it.

Selma Diamond from Night Court comes to mind. I was about 4-5 when the show premiered and I remember watching it with my mom and seeing her on there. But then kindergarten started and NC was on past my bedtime so I didn't see it again for a few years, and by that time, Marsha Warfield was in her shoes, and I wondered why Selma had left, only to find out she was dead and that was why she left

and a year later Florence Halop who replaced Selma died of the same thing. It was a bad time for Night Court fans. :(

early 1985 was terrible for NBC as a whole, losing Selma Diamond, Dolph Sweet and Nicholas Colasanto one after the other and all three were on hit shows that were renewed for the next season. Of course, of the three, Dolph's death impacted Gimme A Break the worst since Cheers and Night Court were able to replace Coach and Selma, even if there are fans who never thought they could were truly replaced, whereas Dolph was a patriachal character that could never be replaced, like Ritter on 8SR

another 80's pop star death in the 90's that I didn't know until later was Jermaine Stewart. Best known for "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" from 1986, he died of AIDS in 1997 (which I thought was really tragic irony since WDHTTOCO was an answer to the AIDS crisis).

Yep, me too. I heard abt it on one of those VH1 countdown shows. I think it had to do with One Hit Wonders.

I used to watch Dallas all the time. It was my favorite show. I didn't know of Timothy Patrick Murphy's death until a couple years ago. I found out on the internet. He died in 1988 at age 29 of Aids.

Yeah same here. I found out abt five years after he died.

The same thing with the actor who played Percival Dalton on Little House on the Prairie. I found out a few years after he died, that he passed away from AIDs due to unprotected sex (he was gay). Allison Arngrim, who played his wife Nellie on the show, is now a spokesperson of sorts for AIDs awareness and so forth.

I didn't know that Jermaine had died and another one I didn't find out about until several years later was Jimmy McShane AKA Baltimora who sang Tarzan Boy. He died of aids in 1995.

WHAT!!! JIMMY McSHANE IS DEAD?!?!?!

:eek: :faint: :eek2:

I remember when "Tarzan Boy" got new life in 1993 when it was featured in a Listerine commercial. It also featured someone saying "Gingivitis!" in a deep voice.

I was shocked that Jermaine Stewart died. JS sang the 1985 hit, , "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off." He died from AIDS.:(

I was surprised when I found out that Michael Hutchence was dead and Ricky Nelson.
