RIP

[fan_since79]

She had some tragedy in her life. Husband died suddenly, and adopted daughter died of a drug overdose just a few years ago.

Kellerman was born in Long Beach and the family later moved to Hollywood. She started as a jazz singer and signed a record deal at 18.

She was Rodney Dangerfield’s English teacher in Back to School.

Terribly sad news. His act was so fresh and hilarious.

[Slegnaac]

I watched the documentary on him last year.  I thought it was pretty obvious he had health issues.

Not your father's magic act.

RIP

i think it was her first scene on Wings. She was leaning against Helen's lunch counter and Brian was staring at her perfect butt. Joe came in and asked Brian what he was doing. Brian said "I'm mentally composing a thank you letter to the guy who invented spandex."

It’s like Dancing With “The Stars”, “Celebrity” is being used loosely…

Traci appeared on the family's reality show, "Braxton Family Values." She was an actress, best known for "Sinners Wanted." She also appeared in "There's a Stranger in my House" and "Chaaw." She recorded a hit song, "Last Call," that rose to #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. She also recorded "Broken Things" featuring her sisters, Toni, Towanda and Trina.

Doesn’t William Hurt deserve his own thread??? He won an Oscar.

[Blarg]

Yeah, he had a skyrocketing career then it just stalled out. Did some good stuff but it didn't seem like he was really pushing himself.

I read that it looked like he was going to pull through but when the news broke about the passing of Traci Braxton he lost the will to live.

RIP Mr Hurt
