I read about her passing earlier today, and it occurred to me that the only things I could recall seeing her in were the movie M*A*S*H (1970) and the Star Trek episode Where No Man Has Gone Before (1966). So I looked up her filmography on IMDb and, it turns out, those were the only things I'd ever seen her in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

^ I remember going to see Back to School with friends when it was released here in the U.S., but it apparently made very little impression on me because I don't remember any of it and don't remember Sally Kellerman being in it.

I saw it as well, and do remember seeing it. A great running gag about Kurt Vonnegut. Also, the first thing I ever saw Robert Downey Jr. in.

This is sad.

Actor Farrah Forke, only just turned 54, has died of cancer.

I remember her well from the sitcom Wings in the mid-90s.

Producer Alan Ladd, Jr. He was responsible for a lot of good films, but the headline is there'd be no Star Wars without him!

Alan Ladd Jr., Hitmaking Film Executive, Dies at 84

When other studios didn’t want it, he took on the project that became “Star Wars.” He later guided “Chariots of Fire,” “Young Frankenstein” and numerous other movies.

Another part of my childhood gone.

Emilio Delgado, known to millions of North Americans as Louis Rodriguez on Sesame Street, has died, aged 81.

I was not aware he was on the show for 45 years, leaving only in 2016 after he wasn't able to renew his contract.

That's too bad. She could really play a piano!

Sorry to read this. Mr. Hurt has long been one of my favorite actors.

I remember as a teen lots of his films coming out, Kiss of the Spider Woman and so on.

The weirdest thing I ever saw him in, and a really good practically unknown film generally, as it starred Kevin Kline and, of course, Tracy Ullman, was this gem:

Man, that's horrible. On tour in Bogata and no other info. He seemed like such a positive, cool guy, too.
