[> I was saddened to see her passing and at the same time all I could see was Kari Turner dressed up as her. If they ever make a biography of Phyllis then Kari needs to play her. -- DOS, 08:36:02 08/21/12 Tue [1]

[> Such a funny lady! Glad she lived a long, full life. May the laughter she inspired never die. -- JJ Ronda, 20:18:03 08/21/12 Tue [1]

[> [> The world was blessed to have Phyllis Diller around for *95* years. Bob Hope lived to be 100- who says laughter doesn't keep you young? Notice how all the great comedians of that generation live to a very old age? I grew up with them & will miss their humor. Sadly, I read where actor William Windom passed away at age 88, as well. Sigh....it's tough to know so many of the great ones are leaving us. -- Matou/Carol, 21:58:11 08/21/12 Tue [1]

[> [> [> Oh, how sad -- William Windom was such a fantastic character actor -- he was SO good in all his parts -- made each and every character in all his roles seem SO real! Indeed, RIP to another great talent! -- mj, 03:39:44 08/22/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> I am so sorry to hear of William Windom's death. "The Farmer's Daughter" was the first TV "shipper" romance that I enjoyed watching between Inger Stevens and Windom. And I loved him as Dr. Seth Hazlett in "Murder, She Wrote". But he and Jessica should have married! May he rest in peace. -- Araninda, 17:50:17 08/22/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> You're so right, mj. Any "original trekkies" here will certainly remember William Windom as Commodore Matt Decker in the episode "The Doomsday Machine". I thought he was great in that, and was the first time I had seen him on television. And of course, as Araninda pointed out, his performance as "Doc Hazlett" on MSW. RIP William Windom. -- Matou/Carol, 20:53:35 08/22/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> i remember first liking him in a long ago tv show - my world and welcome to it. don't remember much about the show - but remember liking it and him. Than man did SO much and played so many different types of characters- there wasn't a year he didn't do something right through 2006 - not bad working when you're 83 -- chris k, 21:42:53 08/23/12 Thu [1]
