Oh wow I didn't even know Cloris was still around. Loved her in "Malcolm in the Middle" and "Raising Hope"

I knew Cloris was still around, although recently she had trouble walking. 94 is a good number of years.
She was awesome in "Last Picture Show" (she won an Oscar for that) and "Young Frankenstein."

I couldn't remember if it was her or not that played Frau Blucher in Young Frankenstein. Hilariously fantastic role.

^Yes, a running gag in the film was that the horses outside the castle would get very agitated every time Frau Blucher's name was uttered. That was most definitely played by Ms. Leachman.

I literally just heard he had cancer last week. His passing was very swift.

I’m not a huge fan, but he was in my age group and a television personality from my teenage years.

R.I.P.

I just read one of the articles and it made it sound as if he was diagnosed in January...of this year. That is super fast. Apparently though he expected he might have some form of cancer given that his mother had died of breast cancer. 44 just seems way too young.

44 is relatively still young.

Actor and Oscar winner Christopher Plummer dies at age 91.

I saw that. Dang, he was a mighty prolific actor in some great films. 91's a pretty ripe old age though so good for him.
