I see we've moved on to 90s icons.
A Real One. For real:
Bob Newhart Monologue - Saturday Night Live
Bob Newhart’s German Impression Is Incredible
That one hurts.
That one hurts.
Agreed.
Spoilering because I couldn't care less and am not that bummed about it
Lou Dobbs, 78
Phil Donahue Dead at 88: Longtime Talk Show Host Suffered ‘Long Illness’
I remember very clearly skipping over his show when I got home from school to get to stations that showed cartoons.
Whether he was ‘Sycho Sid,’ ‘Sid Vicious,’ or just ‘Sid,’ he was one of my favorites as a kid.

You almost can't tell the difference between the Phils:
James Darren, Teen Idol Actor in ‘Gidget,’ Singer and Director, Dies at 88. He'll always be to many of us Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Vic Fontaine.
That Variety obituary is quite good. I didn't know joining the EGOT club was one of his accomplishments.
I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS HIM.
He was the voice of the confident man for someone like me growing up in the 80s and 90s. He is one of the folks I have been asking myself "this guy is going to die soon and it will be important." Also included in that is Bob Dylan and Michael Douglas.
Well shit.
I usually watch a tribute movie or two and it's going to be tough to choose... probably SW original trilogy, and Coming to America all 4 at least. Not sure if the kids are ready for the Lion King but maybe I will watch it anyway
f*ck. Truly one of a kind.

Dude. Field of Dreams. Come on.
My wife said do you really want to watch him die in the Lion King? And I said we could watch the Jack Ryan movies but he dies in those too. Sheesh

He doesn't die in Hunt for Red October!
I imagine somewhere he's reminding Sidney Poitier that Tahiti is not in Europe.
There's one movie I'll always remember him for shouting "NO!"

But he does get a bad ass funeral in Clear And Present Danger!
Here's one of my all-time favorite scenes.
I still like to tell the story how one of my bosses (also ex-mil) did this same wrist touch thing to get me to calm down in a business meeting.
Sad to learn that James Earl Jones died yesterday. He appeared to have lived a long full life and enjoyed a wonderful career.
But - thanks to his business savvy, Disney's money, and Respeecher's tech - we will always have his inimitable voice.
I bought a copy of 'Roots' a few months ago, thanks to an ongoing 50-somethings nostalgia trip that's taken in some strange destinations along the way. I think I'll finally open that box set this weekend.
He was a brilliant actor, but I love the times his personality shone through his roles:
The best bits start at 1:37. 
Sneakers! Put it on the watch list
I just re-watched it last week. Such a fun movie with a great cast.
