  1. This year has seen the passing of SO many "oldie goldies." Seems like far more than usual.

    Rest in peace, Mr. Harry Carey, Jr.

  5. TCM might not update their video for 2012, but I'm sure they will include the three recent passings in their 2013 video.

    They are usually good about doing that.
