Nice remembrance piece.

I need a replacement for the Oscars since they left out 2 actors that I liked last year.

Thanks for posting this. It was well done.

It was a lot of people! A lot of them were screen writers and directors. There were a number of people I didn't know passed. Ron Silver was a surprise. I wonder when and what he died of, he was young I thought.

Wow...I didn't know about Ron Silver either.

Silver died on March 15, 2009 of esophageal cancer, which had been diagnosed two years earlier. He was 62 years old.

Going to watch the video now.

Thanks, Mare. I'm really surprised Ron Silver was 62. I liked him. He was a good solid actor. And he seemed really nice. Avoided the Hollywood pitfalls. I was sorry to read about his death.

I thought he might have been in his 40s.

Thanks for the info. on Ron Silver. Had no idea he had passed away until I briefly saw it on a cable show while flipping channels. It's been quite a year!

I caught the last half of this the other night in the middle of the night and was frustrated that I hadn't seen it all. Once again, the DIS comes through!
