Dude, who ARE those people?!

[terrya]

7. Fannie Flagg has become an author

She wrote "Fried Green Tomatoes". And good for her.

[Left Is Write]

28. I am so old that there are VERY FEW people on The Match Game

with whom I am unfamiliar.

[tjwash]

60. Charles Nelson Reilly--Did he ever do anything besides match game?

[Left Is Write]

67. Yes. He is a Tony award winning Broadway actor.

He's also a Broadway director. He and Gene Rayburn met on Broadway.

[hfojvt]

8. I think Karen Valentine was in

Stuart Smalley saves his family but that was over a decade ago, but when I saw her in that it seemed like the first time I had seen her in about 20 years.
I have never heard of the rest of the people on your list.

[azmouse]

11. Elke Sommer

The only thing I remember seeing her in is the movie A Shot in the Dark.

[Left Is Write]

33. He ran for governor, and now he does ads for loan sharks.

This guy is STILL NOT DEAD:

[begin_within]

21. Did you mean Bonnie Franklin? My friend ran into her in a library in L.A.

[Richard Steele]

47. D'oh! Yes I sure did!

I think Connie Franklin may have been a 1960s
country singer, and certainly obscure today,
but that's not who I meant!

[begin_within]

61. There is a Connie Francis, so maybe Connie Franklin is their love child.

[Left Is Write]

24. Hal Linden is doing ads for one of those medicare supplements.

Edited to add that he also appeared in an episode in the last season of The Nanny, but admittedly, that was seven years ago.

[Strong Atheist]

65. Obviously appearing in 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie' isn't enough for

some people :)

[flvegan]

23. Traci Lords.

Oh, and Elvira.




























What?

[Jamastiene]

46. Elvira is like the Cramps.

The punk band, the Cramps, that is. They only come out at Halloween now. If I ever get rich, I want to work out a deal with both of them too. I want to have a nice party in the Cramps' house if I can talk them into it. They live in an exact replica of the house from Psycho, the movie. It would be great if I could get the Dead Kennedys back together with Jello Biafra too. I don't see it happening though. *sigh* I can soitainly dream though!

[flvegan]

48. If you ever pull that off...

PM me, and set a couple tickets aside so I can come.

[Jamastiene]

64. Tickets?

If I get rich enough that I can pull that off, you will be on the guest list, screw tickets. It'll be a private party and I'll only invite DU'ers and my few real life friends. :thumbsup: You are invited. Now, if we can just figure out how to win the lottery. :P

[blondeatlast]

25. Lorna Patterson, Mary Kay Place

Mary Kay Place

Place IS not only an actress (Private Benjamin) but also a screenwriter.

Edit: IS--she's still very much alive.

Edit: Sorry if the pic doesn't load. Here's the IMdB entry: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005316/

[peekaloo]

38. MKP was hilarious in 'Being John Malkovich'

was in John Sayles' last film....she's underused and underrated, imho.

Loved her in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

[blondeatlast]

41. Yikes--I have to admit I still haven't seen it...

Must queue it up in Netflix.

[Tom Kitten]

44. also great in "Citizen Ruth"

she's also been on West Wing...

[DanCa]

26. Michael Pare and Tom Wopat

Has been in a ton of stuff since The Dukes Of Hazzard...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941374/

[Left Is Write]

31. Michael Pare has a pretty extensive resume also...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001595/

[Tom Kitten]

37. actually, Tom Wopat was in the news today...

arrested for DUI and reckless driving in Passaic, NJ.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11877869/

[Left Is Write]

27. Apparently there was a One Day At A Time Reunion Show made

in 2005, and Nanette Fabray appeared in it.

How I missed THAT, I have no idea.

[Crazy Dave]

29. Martin Mull

[Left Is Write]

32. To me, it seems like Martin Mull is everywhere.

[Crazy Dave]

39. He should be "everywhere"

But I do confess, I never knew he was on the "Sabrina" sitcom.

Barth Gimble, Fernwood 2Nite

[peekaloo]

42. he's doing voice-overs on commercials now.

Funny but since I had a few of his albums I can recognize his voice. :-)

[Whoa_Nelly]

34. Jan Michael Vincent

He's from the area where am living right now.

[begin_within]

43. I think seeing him in his Disney movies made me gay.

[Tom Kitten]

45. Anne Francis

anybody remember "Honey West"?

also just about everyone from "Laugh-In" except for Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin...

[Left Is Write]

49. Anne Francis is in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes...

"The After Hours."

It seems Ruth Buzzi has been pretty busy:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001595/


Edited to add that Mitzi McCall is still doing a lot of cartoon voices and TV.

[mitchum]

51. Not enough of them

[no name no slogan]

52. David Soul

David Gates
Tito Jackson

[radwriter0555]

53. Rebecca Demornay. I was STUNNED to see her in Lords of Dogtown

and not looking well I might add.

She was orange. Granted, she was playing a strung out hippy mom of a surfer dude (epic story, shoulda been left undramatized and bronzed in its original documentary form). She was wrinkledy in the face, but her abs were totally ripped and she made sure to show them, it was REALLY strange.

She was so incredibly HOT in Risky Business. I suppose she doesn't look bad, especially by Hollywood standards... but it's so strange for me to see my contemporaries change while I kind of.... don't, other than to improve with age.

I'd like to see her in something else. She is a talent. I have a feeling there are more films in her future.

[peekaloo]

55. She was on 'The Practice' alongside Spader/Shatner prior to 'Boston

Legal'. I wish they would have kept her character as opposed to the lightweights who came and went this season.

[Arugula Latte]

56. It's funny. Even in Risky Business I could tell she would age badly.

She's one of those blondes whose skin seems thin and apt to wrinkle seriously, and that happened.

[jeffrey_X]

54. Elliot Gould

...

[Arugula Latte]

57. Joey Heatherton. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

58. Ooooh! And Sandy Duncan.

The very ANNOYING Sandy Duncan, I might add.

[tjwash]

59. That...guy, in that...movie

nt

[begin_within]

62. Susan Tolsky

[blondeatlast]

63. JAY-BUS, does that one make me feel old!

She's still around and employed:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0866214/

[begin_within]

66. I thought she had a very funny sounding voice (meaning comedic). She was

a regular on "The New Bill Cosby Show," a variety show he had for a while, and at the beginning they always said, "Bill Cosby...Foster Brooks... and possibly Miss Susan Tolsky." At the end of the show, Cosby always said, "I'd like to thank Foster Brooks and possibly Miss Susan Tolsky" whether she had appeared on that episode or not.

[Ivan Sputnik]

68. All those "Laugh In" people

other than Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin and (very occasionally) Ruth Buzzi, you never hear or see them. Arte Johnson? Alan Seuss? Joanne Worley? Judy Carne? Henry Gibson? They can't all be dead.
