Dang, 73? Still looked the same as he did in Blues Brothers.

In his honor, a poem by Marxo Grouch...

*bows*

"Why must I always hold this flower?
Its stem is getting moldy
But that's okay. In a later scene,
I get to dance with Goldie."

*bows again*

I loved his work as the latent homosexual conservative judge in 'Boston Legal.'

He'll always be the lead creepy neighbor from The 'Burbs to me, but I totally did not know he voiced Wilbur in the animated Charlotte's Web! That movie was such a huge part of my childhood, and he did such an amazing job.

RIP, Sir. May flights of talking spiders sing thee to thy rest.

Does this count as #3? Mary Travers. As in Peter, Paul, and Mary.

I usually think it's hyperbole when people say that it seems like a lot of famous people are dying, more than usual.

Right now, I'm starting to think that's not the case. Gibson was a great character actor. I think my favorite line of his is still: "And they're Catho-lic" in The Blues Brothers.
