What do you mean that AMC didn't mention anything about Kay Campbell's death? During the week of July 15-19, they announced Kate had died in her sleep, had a funeral for her (with Joe giving the eulogy and Tara and Charlie attending), and paid her a beautiful tribute by showing her family and friends reminiscing about her (with flashbacks) while they played her favorite song. It ended with Kate blowing a kiss goodbye with the words "Kay Campbell, 1905 - 1985." Just yesterday (July 25), Joe and Ruth read a letter that Kate had written to be read after she died, and I thought it was nice, too. So just remember, shows eventually catch up with current happenings. And also, realize that AMC could have replaced her with another actress. All in all, AMC handled it beautifully. Too bad you missed it. -- Patricia Boren decvax!randvax!boren boren@rand-unix.arpa
