Some of them (Stanley Fafara, Diane Brewster, Sue Randall) died much too young!

Michael [hXc] · 07-12-2004, 07:51 AM

I go there. And guess what? Last year, they had Madge Blake listed as being born in 1889, and Burt Mustin in 1884. So I sent them an email so they corrected it.

She'll be missed a lot.

1954Boomer · 07-13-2004, 09:23 AM

I had no idea she was 86! I would have guessed she was in her mid 70s, not mid 80s.

She sure was Boomer. Sherman Hemsley was only 66 years old. She looked better than him IMO.

TV Land is having a 3 hour mini "Jeffersons" marathon Wednesday,in honor of her.

Hey comet97!

Yes, I had figured they would run a marathan of TJ in her honor.

Who's to think about? The brighter I shine, the darker my shadows. And they pull me behind, as I let off the pedal. Why should I divide what feels so right? Is this where I want to lay?
