 Re: Henry Gibson RIP
I loved his work as the latent homosexual conservative judge in 'Boston Legal.'

 Re: Henry Gibson RIP
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.

 Re: Henry Gibson RIP
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.
