RIP Loretta.I grew up with her, mamma had all her records and we never missed Hee Haw. :lol: Talk about cornball stuff! :lol:


Off Topic
Just watching this video I realized that she says the word "Daddy" exactly like my sister use to say it. I busted a little tear hearing that after all this time. She would have been 67 this coming Saturday the 8th.

Judy Tenuta, the eclectic comedienne known as “The Love Goddess” and “Aphrodite of the Accordion” to her legions of fans, has died. She was 72.

Tenuta died Thursday at her home Studio City after a battle with stage 4 ovarian cancer, publicist Harlan Boll announced.

Oh no, not Judy. I remember laughing so hard at her song about the Pope. Especially the last line - "I just want a cowboy in a white silky dress". I almost lost it when she sang that line. :lol:

By Judy, and thanks for all the laughs. You really were "the goddess". :cry:

I saw her live in Sweeney Todd, as well as in a taped version broadcast later. She was fantastic!

Great in Gaslight, and the best Tony host ever!

Enjoyed her in Murder, She Wrote too, where both her Sweeney Todds both appeared more than once.

RIP, Angela. Thank you for all the enjoyment you brought to many.

Mrs Mooney has a pie shop
Does a business, but I’ve noticed something weird
Lately all the neighbor’s cats have disappeared.

Wouldn’t do it in my shop
Just the thought of it’s enough to make you sick
And I’m telling you

Angela was truly one of the greats. She was a bit like my Auntie Mame when I was 20 years old in London (80's) and managing an artist on the West End of London. She took me around, saw shows and ate at Joe Allen's. One of the best nights ever was with her and Bea Arthur, it was gay Broadway boy heaven. She was as warm and kind offstage as on. And I love Lucy but Angela should have done the movie of Mame. How did all my mentors get so old 8-) Love you always, Angela :clap: Bedknobs and Broomsticks this weekend for sure.

RIP. I've known of him a long time, but I think he really became more widely known as Hagrid.

RIP Robbie.

Leslie Jordan Dead at 67
Leslie Jordan, the beloved actor and comedian has died.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Jordan was driving in Hollywood Monday morning when it's suspected he suffered some sort of medical emergency and crashed his BMW into the side of a building.

Leslie was famous for his work on popular TV shows like "Will & Grace," "Hearts Afire," "The Cool Kids," "Call me Kat" and "American Horror Story."

LJ became a social media sensation during the pandemic, with his silly video posts helping him skyrocket from about 80,000 Instagram followers to a whopping 5.8 million. He told us on "TMZ Live" his secret was just being himself -- a silly, funny, goofy, happy-go-lucky senior citizen.

Following his viral pandemic fame, Leslie appeared on CNN's New Year's Eve 2021 countdown, ringing in 2022 with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.

The last time we saw Leslie out in public was pretty recently ... our photogs got him just last month, gauging his reaction to Elton John and Britney Spears releasing a new song together.

Leslie was 67.

Leslie was hilarious. I loved him in The Cool Kids and I started following him on Instagram during the lockdown.
