Actress Mira Furlan, best known as Delenn in the greatest TV sci-fi series evah, Babylon 5, died at age 65.

I came to B5 very late and got all caught up into it when it was on Amazon, and just before I got to the last episode of the first season, they pulled it. I have been waiting ever since for it to land on some streaming service--I have a lot of them--but it has not yet. It deserves to be somewhere. She was great on it.

Even tho his notoriety is for being an interviewer/talk show host, when I think of Larry King the first thing I think of is the "Carvel Story" which I always thought was hilarious. Also, the "Gil Moppo" story. RIP.

Actor, writer, and director Hal Holbrook has died. The five-time Emmy winner passed away on Jan. 23 He was 95.

I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Holbrook perform his Mark Twain Tonight live sometime in the 1970's. I walked out of the theater with my jaw dragging on the floor. A fantastic night.

I bought the VHS tape of his show. It was good but lacked so much of what his live performance offered.

I have never met Hal Holbrook, but I feel like I have met Mark Twain.

Thank you Mr. Holbrook. Rest in peace.

B5 is now on HBO Max. I am jumping in where ai left off when it left Amazon.

RIP Christopher Plummer

Underappreciated in my book. He's best known for the Sound of Music, but there is so much more to his acting!
