Paul Newman was my favorite actor of all time. He had to have had the most beautiful blue eyes of any 83 year old man. It's so sad to lose such a good man and actor.

RIP Doc Hudson

He did a great job narrating the CMT version of Dale Earnhardt. Not to be confused with that pathetic show ESPN did.

Mr. Clean actor House Peters Jr. dead at 92

LOS ANGELES (AP) - House Peters Jr., a TV actor who became the original Mr. Clean in Proctor & Gamble's commercials for household cleaners, died Wednesday. He was 92.

Peters died of pneumonia at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Hospital in Los Angeles, said his son, Jon Peters.

The elder Peters' most memorable role came as Mr. Clean - a muscular man with a bald head, a hoop earring and a no-nonsense attitude toward dirt and grime. From the late 1950s and into the early 1960s, Peters Jr. helped advertise the famous household cleaner with the trademark jingle, "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean."

Peters Jr. played many supporting roles through his career, including working with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry on their television shows. He also appeared in "Perry Mason," "Gunsmoke," "The Twilight Zone" and "Lassie."

May he rest in peace.

Sadly, I remember a "real" Mr. Clean. Always thought he was cool looking. RIP.

Not technically dead, but OJ was guilty on all counts and could spend the rest of his life in jail. Too bad juice. Try and slash someone in there!

RIP Michael Critchon...age 66 of cancer. Author of Jurrasic Park.....and others,
creator of ER.

I loved Crichton - my youngest daughter and I used to share his books - we've read them all. We were just in Jurassick Park yesterday (US) and were talking about him. Did you know he was the creator of ER? Denny, he wasn't much older than us! Very sad news!

I have enjoyed every Crichton book I've read. A few things surprised me about him. I knew he was a physician, but did not realize he graduated from Haaaahvaaaahd Medical School. I read the book "Congo" years ago, but didn't realize he wrote it. I was surpised to find out he was 66. I had this image of someone in their early to mid 50's.

He was a superlative author, and widely varied in his subject. There was always the medical or medical research aspect, but most of the time it was the sub-topic. This is one author that will be sadly missed by the literary world. He was brilliant! I think my favorite book of his was Airframe. It's hard to name a favorite because they were all fantastic to read.

I've taken "Next" out of the library twice to read, and other things got in the way, so I've never read it. I think I'll have to purchase it.

RIP Michael Crichton.
