We lost three entertainers this week, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
Ed - I loved watching Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show, and Ed was the best sidekick. I have many happy memories of skits they performed together, but my favorite was Carnac the Magnificent and how Ed used to crack him up.
Farrah - Yes, I watched Charlie's Angels. Perhaps I wanted to look more like Farrah, Kate or Jaclyn since they were all gorgeous. I remember the flack Farrah got for quitting after the first year, but I think she showed her acting chops in "The Burning Bed."Michael - I remember the early, early years when he was in the Jackson Five. I was always more of an Osmond fan, but Michael was great in his early solo years. Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It...how could you NOT dance to his music? I wouldn't have wanted to live his life, and we all know his history with young boys, plastic surgery, and perhaps whitening his skin. But I still say he was one of the most talented entertainers ever.
May you all rest in peace!
