The Barry Cowsill story is on CNN now, Persephone. I'd link to it for you, but my Firefox is on the fritz and refusing to let me copy and paste -- and the URL's a mile long. I'm going to restart now.

Thanks, Brookie. Things seem to be working again on this end.

Has Cowsill been missing since the storm? How many more bodies are still to be discovered? Bizarre.

I got the impression from Entertainment Tonight's report that he'd died either at the convention center or after the worst was over (perhaps more from his drug-addiction issues than from hurricane-related issues, but it wasn't clear). I don't think his body was discovered recently, I think it was identified recently. Evidently officials in the Gulf Coats region have brought in a team of DNA experts to help with the identification of the bodies.

He was perfect as the millionaire husband in Best in Show. Never says a word during the whole thing while his ditsy wife talks about how they like talking about talking. Or not. Blue is dust in the wind. 'Old School' actor Pat Cranshaw dead at 86 FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Actor Patrick Cranshaw, who played the elder fraternity brother "Blue" in "Old School," has died in Fort Worth, Texas. He was 86. Cranshaw died of natural causes Wednesday at his home, the Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

I was shocked to hear of Sophie Heathcote's death from an aneurysm, aged just 33. Probably unknown to most on this board, but a very familiar face on Aussie TV, from "A Country Practice", "Water Rats" and "Grass Roots". She had 2 young children and was suffering from skin and pancreatic cancer. Very sad.

That makes me so sad on so many levels. First, a person passing. Second, that it seems her life was very much impacted by the fact that she had a fraud of a marriage. (She never remarried.) Third, by the fact that I can't really blame Rock Hudson for what he did. Our society was so fucked up at that time when it came to homosexuality.
Thank God, we seem to slowly be heading toward embracing people regardless of whom they want to sleep with. Maybe it's just me, but I can hardly think of a less important fact when I'm trying to figure out a person's value than whom they sleep with.
The fact that someone would care about whom someone else is sleeping with would impact me much more.

Littledarling -- Here's a 4th thing to be bothered about: The article is an obituary for her, but the picture accompanying it is of Rock Hudson.
And yes, that's so incredibly sad that she possibly never recovered from finding out her glamorous fairy-tale marriage was a sham. How used can a human being get?
