Quite a few celebrity deaths in the last week. Peter Marshall, long time Hollywood Squares host and today, long time talk show host Phil Donahue, just to name a few.

I enjoyed watching Hollywood Squares e.g.

Also although didn't get agree with Phil Donahue politically, I found some of his televised talk show episodes interesting.

And the decades of love that he and his wife Marlo Thomas poured into and that she continues to do via St. Jude Research Children's Hospital(s) for kids with cancer and their families.

For a time Phil had resided in Centerville, OH south of Dayton and was also a radio host with WHIO7.

If I recall Phil and Marlo were both pretty heavy smokers. I wonder if Phil died of lung cancer?

Game show host Chuck Woolery has passed away at 83 at his home in Texas. I also remember him having hosted "Home and Family" with Christina Ferrare.

[tron777]

My fav game show with Chuck was Scrabble! He was also very famous for Love Connection too. Chuck was also a very outspoken and major conservative politically. He had his own pod cast on the internet for the last several years.

I admired former Pres Carter's faith as well as First Lady Carter's and other family members of theirs. And also their humanitarian work through the years as well as Pres Carter's service to our country during his Navy years.

Prayers with their children John, James III, Jeff, and Amy, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I read where there was a prescription bottle and some scattered pills on a counter near where Hackman's wife's body was.
