Celebrities we lost in 2020

Quite a list; I probably only recognized half of them. Hadn't heard about Ed (Kookie) Byrnes. Saw him at a car show in Fort Smith a few years back.

Biggest on my mind is Connery. Maybe not a bad time to get out of Dodge. The BEST times we enjoyed for so long seem to be over.

Thanks 2Lane . . . Kookie passed from "77 Sunset Strip" ?

Yep, that's him. He was selling autographs at the car show; getting $20 bucks. Thought it was pretty cheesy.

Methinks the advent of social media and reality TV has caused an extreme dilution of the term "celebrity"...!

Just when I thought it was impossible to tell what's fake and what's not, it gets MUCH worse. Enter DEEP FAKE. What you clearly saw your favourite (or hated) celebrity say, they may never have said at all
