There is a saying that famous people die in threes.

Earlier this week, the world lost Peter Jennings. We just lost another.

She was a screen "siren" of the 40's, and later was world known as the matriarch of a well known series of the 70's. She played the wife (and later widow) of an oil barron and rancher in the south, and the mother of two sons. One a shrewed businessman, the other a sensitive nice guy. Plus a daughter who is a bit shady.

Her character was known as Miss Ellie. Her series, "Dallas."

Barbara Bel Geddes died this past Monday. She was 82.

May she rest in peace.

Barbara Bel Geddes 1922-2005

I didn't know she was still alive. Makes you wonder who's next.

did anyone see big fish? that tim burton movie. well the guy who played the giant died yesterday.
peter jennings and miss ellie both died of lung cancer.

Did you hear Dana Reeves (Christopher Reeve's widow) now has lung cancer? She doesn't even smoke! That poor kid- first his father, now his mom.
