A lot of unfortunate deaths lately, and they're all incredibly untimely.
:: Robert Palmer. How incredibly bogus. As an 80s/MTV child, I remember his videos very well.
:: Jaclyn Linetzky. No, not a household name, but anyone with kids and PBS has probably heard her voice, because she was the voice of Caillou, the bald-headed four-year-old, in English episodes of the animated children's show Caillou. The show's a favorite in our home. Ms. Linetzky died in a car crash.
:: Gordon Jump. I used to love WKRP In Cincinnati, on which Jump played the kind-hearted station manager, Mr. Carlson. He also was the Maytag repairman in recent years, and he had a notable couple of episodes as George Costanza's boss on Seinfeld. (BTW, it appears that WKRP is falling victim to the vagaries of music licensing, in a pretty ugly way.)
UPDATE: George Plimpton. Never read him, but still, I gotta think that the Grim Reaper really needs to rethink his priorities.
