Marion Ramsey, who played Laverne Hooks in the Police Academy films.

Away from that role, she was one of the finest stage & Broadway actors of her generations

@MN5 Well that was a fair assumption. He's looked dead for decades.

Longtime home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86

Hank Aaron, known for his sweet swing that carried him to 755 career home runs, which long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86.

Hank Aaron was a major figure in American sports, was one of the black pioneers in a white dominated sport, and was the total home run MLB king until Barry Bonds eclipsed him

[Bovidae]

One of baseball's greatest ever players.

Larry King passes on.

That reminds me of Jimmy Carr introducing John Cooper Clarke on cats. "Dr John is 70 years old but doesn't look a day over died ten years ago".
