Last week Richard Basehart (sp?), who for years played Admiral Nelson on
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", died.
This week Walter Pidgeon, who played the Admiral (Nelson?) in the theatrical
movie "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", died.
Is this a coincidence, or what?
Is David Hedeson(sp?) next?
Irwin Allen? (we can only hope...)

< Two men, about to enter... The Twilight Zone >
Yes, Dan (Grizzley Adams) Haggerty and Richard Pryor. Two men who could
hardly be more different (Editor's note: see, one's big and white, and the
others thin and black), but linked by an amazing set of coincidences.
Normally, I'd leave this type of comparison to The Enquirer, People, Joe-Bob
or Hans Holzer, but sometimes we need a more scientific look.
For the last 4 years, some remarkable events have happened to both these
celebritys, events which were extremely unpleasant for all involved. Both
had various hair on their bodies ignite (Griz... err, Dan's beard, and
Richard's head (Editor's note: Since the people on E.T. call the subjects of
their reports by their first name, so will we. So there!)). Both have been
linked to the sale of harmful narcotics (Editor's question: is cocaine a
narcotic? I believe it has another, more accurate fancy-pants scientific
buzzword label). Both have been saddled with ponderous, God-awful
children's programs. Yes, it would seem that both these men have had there
share of knocks, being kicked around in show business transactions, and have
ended up with little more than their personal dignity, a greater insight
into the nature of man (and, in Dan's case, bears), and about 100,000
smackeroos in Swiss Bank accounts. Not something I'd want happening to me,
no sir.
And who's to blame? The business, which tolerates actor's vices in exchange
of a performance? We, the public, who yawn at their excesses with nothing
other than a sigh and a Sears commercial?
Nope. It's their problem. Take them to the cellar, Hans... (Editor's note:
Not Hans Holzer).
