into it just now and found this:

Harry Reid, former US Senator from Nevada turned 80 years old today.

Iron Mike Ditka also turned 80 this year; ironically, he was born on the same date (10/18/39) as one Lee Harvey Oswald. On 11/24/63, the day Oswald was shot dead in Dallas, Ditka, a tight end for the Chicago Bears, had one of the finest games of his Hall of Fame career in a game against the Steelers.

Real-life husband and wife William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett played Dr. and Mrs. Craig on "St. Elsewhere" and both won Emmy awards for their roles on that classic series. Both are still alive and in their 90's.

[I truly hope Mr. Carson is incorporating the emendations into his master list]

If that's what you want, give me your top ten *must add* suggestions -
off the top of your head, not scraped from some external source - and
we'll go from there. Just adding lots and lots and lots of names to
make the list longer doesn't interest me.

To give you a hint, the suggestions that have come in so far that I've
already decided to add are Charles Grodin, Harvey Keitel, and Paul
Sorvino. These are people who, to borrow a phrase from another poster,
I could kick myself for not already having. My list was as of 30
November, so Dianne Lennon and Harry Reid are automatically going on
next year's list (assuming they survive). Three who I am on the fence
about are Elinor Donahue, Nancy Dussault, and Gloria Henry. Some
examples of a hard no would be Moe Howard's daughter and the model for
Tinkerbell.

Eyup. Starred in my favorite "no one ever heard of this" movie,
"Paper Man" [a]. Also starring Tina Chen, who had that memorable
line in "Six Days of the Condor", where... Max Van Sydow is holding
a gun aimed at her (after he and crew have killed off everyone else
at the "American Literary Historical Society".

Von Sydow: Please step away from the window
Ms. Chen: I won't scream
Von Sydow: Yes, I know.

Olson was another one of those actors from the 70's who guest-starred on just about every cop/detective show, and often, made multiple appearances playing different characters. There were a bunch of these actors, Leslie Nielsen, John Vernon, Claude Akins, Jack Cassidy and Darren McGavin were the beset known, but "Mannix" and "Cannon" and "Hawaii Five-0" and "The Streets of San Francisco" and the NBC Mystery Movies and others all needed a special guest star each and every week. These guys would migrate from show to show, and occasionally they would wind up with their own short-lived series, like McGavin and "The Night Stalker", but they would wind up back in the rotation. Just about all of those guys are gone now; I think James Olson and Anthony Zerbe are about the only two of the species remaining.

The two initial tv movies (ok, one had a different name) and

I enjoyed the "Night Stalker" series and movies, and it was clearly an influence on the "X Files", but the show lasted less than one season because Darren McGavin walked away from it due to the quality of the scripts. He knew going in that it was going to be a "Monster of the week" type of series and for that reason the writers were going to quickly run out of ideas. Also, it was an 8PM network series in 1974, and at the time the show was deemed violent and unsuitable for children because of the subject matter, so it wasn't like they were going to venture out into doing episodes that were too taboo like the "X Files" often did with mutant cannibals.

The "X Files", to their credit, had a lot more creative writers than the "Night Stalker" series, and the rules on what was acceptable on network TV was a lot looser in the 90's than the 70's, and a good deal of the "X Files" episodes dealt with alien conspiracy, but mixed into that were the "Monster of the week" episodes which covered everything under the sun and then some.

I'm not knocking the "Night Stalker" series, but it was a flawed concept in that there just wasn't very far for them to go with their "Monster of the week" premise in the 1970's without it quickly becoming cheesy. Darren McGavin realized it and ended the show when it reached that point.

When I was growing up we called them "retards", but that's not PC anymore.

Now, we just call them "Trump Voters".

Speaking as someone who grew up with an older Down syndrome brother, I can assure you that the word "retard," when used as a noun with the stress shifted to the second syllable, was NEVER acceptable. Yes, the word "retarded" was the in-use currency during those years; however, the noun form of the "R-word" was never utilized in my family.

You keep employing that "Trump voters" bon mot. One time makes the point. Repeating this "R-word" in your sign-off perpetuates the word's inherent cruelty. Please cease and desist.

Other kids called me "retard" on account of my brother -- essentially, I was being labeled by association. Some parents would not permit their kids to play at my house reasoning that Down syndome was "catching."

When comparing this term to other deroatory racial and sexual identification slurs, calling a developmentally disabled person the "R-word" finds itself in an extremely awkward sitation. Were I to call an African-American, a Latino, or a gay person a vulgar appelation, the other person can adequately defend him/her-self -- either by reasoning with me on why I should not use such terminoloiges, or, by resorting to violence.

Conversely, if I call someone "retard," that person, more than likely, will not possess the mental -capacity to counter my insult. Spare 31 seconds of your life to watch the following YouTube link. It's a PSA regarding the "R-word," which I sincerely hope will help accentuate my point.

As for equating Trump Voters to intellectually hampered individuals, that's a whole other story.

As for equating Trump Voters to intellectually hampered individuals, that's a whole other story.

I had a good friend growing up whose sister was intellectually disabled, which was very likely due to Thalidolmide use on the mother's part, and I remember how it hurt him to have to hear his sister called that word on a daily basis. And I think it especially hurt him because she didn't understand what the word meant, and he knew that, and the kids who used that word against her knew that too. The kids weren't really taunting her, they were taunting him.

In regard to the last point, there are some people who just can't stand for any topic in any forum not to be polluted with their inane political commentary. This is alt.obituaries, not alt.trump; take it someplace else. And because I know I'll be labelled a sycophant or something worse, I didn't even vote in the 2016 election.

I know David never expected the size of his list would double after he posted it.

John Mayall, 86 and still touring

I suppose the main list has not been reposted for a while?
I note that actor Norman Lloyd and Friendly('s) Ice Cream
co-founder S. Prestley Blake were both born in the month
of November 1914.

I don't have an exact birthdate on hand for former Polaroid
CEO William McCune,but I gather it was in February,March,or
April of 1915 (he became president at 59 around the beginning
of February 1975 and CEO at 65 around April 1980).

Is this Malcolm a prophet of alcoholism?
(Sounds a bit overwrought for anyone not addicted to what is
proposed to be prohibited,wisely or otherwise).

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
