This thread suddenly makes me remember of old people....dang it how did I get to be 60?... reading the obits to see if they were still alive...

Depending on our definition of "media star" this could have 3 or 4 a day!

I do like the "Who?" you ask? very muchly though...I have learned more about some folks after they died than I ever knew in their lives (and often this includes their name).

I don't remember him in coach, but the 60's comedy series, 'My Mother The Car' still airs in rerun around here.

As it turns out, 'Coach' actually airs on the same channel as 'My Mother The Car' in my area. Somehow I missed both the original airing and the rebroadcast.
