Peter Scolari, a veteran actor who rose to fame alongside Tom Hanks on "Bosom Buddies," died Friday morning.



Scolari had cancer and had been ill for two years, his manager Ellen Lubin Sanitsky told CNN. He was 66.



Scolari appeared in numerous films and television series over the years, including "Newhart," "Murphy Brown," and "The Good Fight." He won an Emmy in 2016 for his portrayal of Hannah's father on "Girls."

Frederik Willem de Klerk passed away.

He was the last white president of South Africa. They called him the Gorbachev of South Africa.

Josée Forest-Niesing, a lawyer and Ontario senator, has died shortly after being hospitalized with COVID-19. She was 56.



Forest-Niesing's office said earlier in the week that the Sudbury, Ont., senator returned home last Saturday after being admitted to hospital with the virus.



The statement noted she was fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but was considered especially vulnerable due to an autoimmune condition that had affected her lungs for the last 15 years.



Cue DD, jabbed.

Michael Nesmith, the singer-songwriter, author, actor-director and entrepreneur who will likely be best remembered as the wool-hatted, guitar-strumming member of the made-for-television rock band The Monkees, has died at 78.



Nesmith, who had undergone quadruple bypass surgery in 2018, died at home Friday of natural causes, his family said in a statement.



Nesmith was a struggling singer-songwriter in September 1966 when "The Monkees" television debut turned him and fellow band members Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and David Jones into overnight rock stars.



After the group broke up in 1970, Nesmith moved on to a long and creative career, not only as a musician but as a writer, producer and director of films, author of several books, head of a media arts company and creator of a music video format that led to the creation of MTV.



Nesmith was running "hoot nights" at the popular West Hollywood nightclub The Troubadour when he saw a trade publication ad seeking "four insane boys" to play rock musicians in a band modeled after the Beatles.



The show featured the comical misadventures of a quartet that tooled around Los Angeles in a tricked-out Pontiac GTO called the MonkeeMobile and, when they weren't chasing girls, pursued music stardom.



Each episode rolled out two or three new Monkees songs, six of which became Top 10 Billboard hits during the show's two-year run. Three others, "I'm a Believer," ´´Daydream Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville," reached No. 1.

I remember coming home from school and watching old episodes of the Monkees.

I am a classic sitcom junkie. But, the Monkees was one old show I did not like.
