Florence Henderson was a shock.

Joseph Mascolo wasn't really a shock because of his health but he will greatly be missed by me.

Ron Glass of Barney Miller

Florence Henderson. I know they were more rock stars than actors (though both acted) but David Bowie and Prince were shockers.

Yes,Prince was a shocker,& it was my shock of the year,far as famous deaths go

He wasn't a TV actor, but Alan Rickman

For myself being a Dallas fan the loss of George Kennedy was a blow.

Not a TV actor, but Anton Yelchin. He was 27, one of Hollywood's younger set that wasn't obnoxious, and seemed sweet. His death was such a freak accident too, pinned by his car. I was also saddened by Patty Duke, I'd thought she'd be here until her 90's, Ron Glass, such an everyman, Joe Mascolo, and Robert Vaughn. I loved his voice and he was pretty good at playing creeps.

Just got the news about Alan Thicke's death, definitely a shock. He was only 69 and died of a heart attack. The world has lost another talented, funny human being. Hopefully he's the last one for the year.

Patty Duke and Alan Thicke. I liked Florence Henderson and George Kennedy, but neither one of their deaths surprised me considering their respective ages.

Alan Thicke was a shocker. Just read that this morning. I loved when he was on Celebrity Wife Swap with Gilbert Gottfried. Alan was so extravagant with his money and Gilbert was so cheap!

Also, I will miss Joseph Mascolo, the great Stefano Dimera.
