Actor Treat Williams, whose nearly 50-year career included starring roles in the TV series Everwood and the movies Hair and Prince of the City, died Monday after a motorcycle crash in Vermont, state police said. He was 71.

I remember him vaguely... his face and the name Treat, which was unfortunate for him. His parents are probably still burning in the fiery bowels of hell for that.
Blahhhhhh...

Do you think he may have been teased a little in school because of his name.

Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower who leaked the "Pentagon Papers" about the Vietnam War — changing public perceptions of the conflict — died on Friday, his family announced. He was 92.



Ellsberg was a military analyst when he released thousands of documents to U.S. media in 1971 that revealed successive United States administrations had lied to the public about the Vietnam war.



The 7,000 classified pages determined that, contrary to the public assertions of U.S government officials, the conflict was unwinnable.



The leak was recounted in the 2017 Hollywood thriller "The Post," which detailed the nail-biting behind-the-scenes story of the papers' publication.



Ellsberg announced in March that doctors had told him on February 17 that he had terminal pancreatic cancer and only around six months to live.



"He was not in pain, and was surrounded by loving family," his wife and children said in a statement announcing his death.

[size=150]Alan Arkin, Oscar-Winning 'Little Miss Sunshine' Actor, Dead at 89[/size]



">




 Alan Arkin, the Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actor, has died at 89.



His death was confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively by his sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony, who jointly offered a statement on the family's behalf: "Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man. A loving husband, father, grand and great grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed."



 Most recently, Arkin costarred in The Kominsky Method for Netflix alongside Michael Douglas, earning Emmy nominations in 2019 and 2020, and Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations in 2020 and 2021. In Little Miss Sunshine (2006), Arkin played Edwin Hoover, the grandfather of the dysfunctional family. His role — which only spanned 14 minutes of screen time — earned him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Arkin's memorable turn in the 2012 Ben Affleck-directed political drama Argo earned him his fourth Oscar nomination. He played veteran producer Lester Siegel, whose sharp sense of humor and biting line delivery won over audiences.



His son, Adam Arkin, 66, is also a well-known actor and director who has starred on TV hits including Chicago Hope, 8 Simple Rules and Sons of Anarchy.

Someone claimed that King Martini had passed away:

However I have no way of verifying this claim or if is true.



Who knows? Maybe the guy will pay a surprise visit.

Sadly, it has come to my attention that Kevin aka Poofer has passed away. Details are sketchy at the moment but it seems, from what I've been told by his wife, is that he's succumbed to a rather horrible case of colon cancer.



It was like that scene in Green Mile, where Tom Hanks is whimpering when he was pissing in the yard...only the other end. Then, it was like that scene in Straight outta Compton when the doctor told eazy E the news he had aids. Poor Poofer knew only then he was never leaving the hospital.



I say unto you all, life is not a video game. You just don't respawn after you take too many shots to the chest.



Let us all grab a cold can of Bud Light and toast one of the greatest ever. He's building Fortnite castles in the sky.



RIP

For Christ sake, that is obvious bullshit.
