RIP Stella Tennant...
Britain's most famous aristocratic supermodel Stella Tennant has died at the age of 50, just months after splitting from her husband.

I'm probably the only one here but I couldn't give a flying feck for the RIP's who inhabit this part of the forum.For the most part these Z list celebs have done nothing to enrich or make my life better.When you look back most of what they did was grim and did not deserve the adulation they received.They wouldn't give us folk a RIP if we paid them.No response needed.Just my opinion.Its what forums are for.

I am writing the story here, "Ribrash, as he left the parlour of 1001 pleasures in the Karl Lagerfeld Bondage Dungeon, realised that he... " =))

The wonderful thing about internet fora is that you do not HAVE to read everything. A bit like getting 'wound up' by a radio or TV programme - turn it off.

John Edrich: Former England batsman dies aged 83
An outstanding first class career
Edrich achieved a Test average of 43.54 and went on to serve as an England selector and batting coach. He famously scored 310 not out against New Zealand in the third Test at Headingley in July 1965.

Edrich, who scored 33 not out while batting with two broken ribs in the fourth Ashes Test of the 1974-75 series in Australia after being struck by Dennis Lillee, made 5,138 runs in Tests.

He scored 103 centuries in a career that saw him captain Surrey for five seasons in the 1970s before retiring from the game in 1978. He was awarded an MBE in 1977.

For what it is worth, I have always suspected that the British authorities let Blake make good his escape. A trade off, in the murky world of espionage, being the underlying motive for that.

He might as well have been dead! He hated Putin but needed to live. A tragic bastard in many ways...

A Cloggiecunt, no doubt..

Dawn Wells, Mary Ann on 'Gilligan's Island,' dies of Covid-19 complications at 82

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/30/entertai ... index.html

(CNN)Dawn Wells, who played the lovable castaway Mary Ann Summers on "Gilligan's Island," died in Los Angeles on Wednesday from Covid-19 complications, her publicist Harlan Boll confirmed to CNN.

She was 82.
Born in Reno, Nevada, Wells represented her home state in the Miss America pageant in 1959.
That opened the door for her to start a career in Hollywood where she appeared in a multitude of television shows, including "77 Sunset Strip," "Maverick," "Bonanza," "The Joey Bishop Show" and "Hawaiian Eye."
She beat out 350 other actresses to nab the role of girl-next-door Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," which aired on CBS from 1964 to 1967 and later in syndication.
In a 2016 interview with Forbes magazine, Wells revealed that the job was not as lucrative as many people believed.
"A misconception is that we must be wealthy, rolling in the dough, because we got residuals. We didn't really get a dime," she said. "I think my salary -- of course, I was low on the totem pole, Ginger (Tina Louise) and Thurston (Jim Backus) got more -- was $750 a week. Sherwood Schwartz, our producer, reportedly made $90 million on the reruns alone!"
She starred in more than 150 TV shows, seven motion pictures including "Winterhawk" (which she also narrated) and more than 60 productions on and off Broadway.
Beyond acting, Wells also served as a producer, author, journalist, motivational speaker, teacher, humanitarian, spokesperson and chairwoman of the Terry Lee Wells Foundation, an organization for women and children in northern Nevada, as well as running her Film Actors Boot Camp for seven years in Idaho.
She received the Elephant Sanctuary Trumpeting Award for her activism in supporting The Elephant Sanctuary. The sanctuary, founded in 1995, is the nation's largest natural habitat refuge developed specifically for African and Asian elephants.
But it was her pigtail-wearing character on "Gilligan's Island" which made her a beloved star -- and she had fun with it.
Wells acted as the "castaway correspondent" for Channel 9 in Sydney, Australia, where she interviewed actors and directors including Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Julia Roberts, Rene Russo, Mel Gibson, Ron Howard, and Richard Donner.
At the premiere of the film "Gravity," she presented star Sandra Bullock with a coconut cream pie, in honor of their shared experience with being "stranded."
"Gilligan's Island" was an unexpected hit and in honor of the 50th anniversary of the series, Wells released "A Guide To Life: What Would Mary Ann Do?" in which she wrote about the meaning of the Mary Ann character and observed the cultural shifts that have happened since she was on the island.
Her gingham dress and famous short shorts from "Gilligan's Island" are currently on display in the lobby of The Hollywood Museum.
She is survived by her stepsister, Weslee Wells.
No services have been scheduled at this time and in lieu of flowers, donations are requested to either The Elephant Sanctuary, Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum or The Shambala Preserve.

So, Ginger or Mary Ann? :-? :)) ;)))
