Equally amazing is that three celebrities have passed, and one of them has a Roger Corman connection. I liked Cat Sassoon a lot on screen - she wasn't an award winning actress - but she had presence and a great look topped off with the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I was greatly saddened by her passing ten years ago.<br /><br />But I am really touched by your tribute to George "Goober" Lindsey - possibly the communication you had with him - or maybe he played a bigger part in my life across all of those shows. He seemed like one of the most genuine and down-to-earth actors ever. I would have liked to work with him, but alas, that never happened. I do enjoy that he became one of those celebrities with "his nickname" in the middle of his real name, joining the likes of Chuck "Porky" Mitchell and Fred "The Hammer" Williamson. <br /><br />I hope all three rest in peace - and find themselves enjoying a brilliant afterlife somewhere.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
