probably Dana Plato but I knew nothing about her when she died. But after watching the true hollywood story on her it makes ya sick that she did all that stuff.

I was quite saddened when Carrol died.
The day Norman died is the saddest of them all!I mean I was watching the news with my mother and he said "TV Star Norman Fell who potrayed Stanley Roper on the ABC sitcom 'Three's Company' died today"
He died in 1998.
Audra died in 1997.
Why didn't you put Mr. Belvedere?
He died Friday.
Where are the TV stars going?
Dieing all of a sudden.
Whitman Mayo who played Grady on Sanford and Son died recentley.
I saw Dana Plato on a TV talk show couple of weeks before she died.She was 34 years old and looked like a grandma.
Robert Reed died in 1992 along with "same-time" TV dad Bill Bixby.
I was raised knowing that Lucille died.Just like everybody born after 1977 was raised knowing Elvis was dead.Lucy's birthday by the way is tommorrow!
Lucille Ball August 6,1911-April 26,1989
Most people prolly don't remember when Vivian Vance died she was gone in 1979.
Why didn't you put Elizabeth Montgomery?Or Alan Hale?I was especially schocked when Elizabeth Montgomery died.I always loved Samantha from Bewitched.She was sooooooo funny!And soooooooo pretty.I was completly shcoked when Sandra Gould who played Gladys on the show died late last year.And when Rosemary DeCamp from The Partridge Family and That Girl died about 2 months ago.
Maybe NAN will pay tribute to Mr.Hewitt by playing a nite of Mr.Belvedere on Friday night.Also when I learned that my fave Gilligan castaway Natalie Schafer died.She died in 1994.And when I found out Aneta Coursaut who played Helen Crump on TAGS died in 1995.But the most saddest death of a TV star to me has to be when I found out Dan Rowan was dead and Flip Wilson too.Dan died in 1987 and Flip in 1998.I was born in '90 so I was overwhelmed with Dan's death.I guess I'm scaring you guys with all this talk about deaths.No wait the MOST SADDEST moment for me for ANY TV star was when Miss Arlene Francis died.Or Steve Allen.No I got it:THE MOST SADDEST TVSTAR DEATH IS THE DEATH OF GENE RAYBURN.HOST OF MATCH GAME.

What about Mary Frann? Now that was sad, she was so young.

Sean Snow · 08-05-2001, 03:05 PM

By the way, Mrs. Howell died in 1991.

I'm sad for all of them, but esp. Audra Lindley. See seemed really nice on TC, and she seemed like she could have been someone's real grandmother on screen and off. When she died, almost no one cared. But when Norman died, he had a tribute on one channel.

When Madaline kahn died it was very sad, and i cried, i was very happy that CBS let COSBY do a special MAdline Kahn episode after she died.

Yeah Natalie was born in 1900 and died in 1991.But I could have sworn that was Alan Hale.Why didn't nobody mention Eva Gabor?I mean when I heard of Lisa Douglas's death I was so sad.And about Mary Frann:I knew she died but I forgot when.I can't beleive I forgot that.I think it was 1991 also though.And who can forget Ray Walston from last year?And Florence Halop and Selma Diamond.They were both on Night Court.It is weird because when Florence died in '85 they replaced her with Selma who died in '86.And what about Nicholas Colasanto?I know a LOT of TV stars who are dead.But if I list them all I'd fall asleep.

You know Audra was really a blonde?
I saw her on Celebrity Family Feud and her and the cast of "The Ropers" were on there.I saw the cast TC on there too.Three's Company kicked but for an entire hour.The won the whole thing!

Sean Snow · 08-05-2001, 05:46 PM

I knew she was a blonde 'cuz in the CAKOOD book they show a picture of the cast and her wigless at the Peoples Choice Awards and a pciture of her from a reunion with Norman in 1996.

Drew · 08-05-2001, 08:59 PM

reading this i havent realized so many people i new on tv died. I guess ive only been around since 86, so i havent been around to long to actually know or realize when someone dies, i guess though, the saddest person for me would have to be Mary Frann. I was also sad when the blonde from Petticoat Junction died just last year. I only really find out on either access hollywood or at some award show like the Emmys or the Golden Globes. Just finding out Audra Lindsey and Normal Fell are gone as well makes me sad. I cant really say im sad that Dana Plato is dead. I liked her, but what she did with her life i dont like her for. When did Robert Reed died and how come the Bradys only lasted one season(i believe). I also have to mention that i was really sad to see that Walter Mathewa and Jack Lemmon are gone as well. I loved those two and the movies they did.

For me it has to be Dana Plato. I grew up on DS. She died way too young. It was a shame that she couldn't stay out of trouble. It sounds like she really did have a tragic life.

TV Guy · 08-06-2001, 01:11 PM

There are a lot of choices, but I'd go with Elizabeth Montgomery. She died when she was still relatively young, so it was unexpected.

Yur right because Biography magazine did a pictorial timeline for her and the latest was I think 1992 when she was 59 years old and she looked soooooo young!I mean she had black lipstick her hair didn't show a sight of grey and she was wearing a head band!I think it really was inexpected.I know the saddest death would be a death that didn't happen yet!MTM's death.or Don Knotts'.Not making seem like I want them to go but I would terribly cry for both even though they are both doing well for their ages.

Sean Snow · 08-06-2001, 03:58 PM

And both of them would be VERY missed because they both had two popular shows.

Pippa McKenna · 08-06-2001, 08:16 PM

I'd have to say Dana Plato and Carroll O'Connor are the saddest deaths. I also think that Herve Villechaize's death(which I saw on E!) is sad
